Sabrina Blu-ray

Funny Face Blu-ray

Finally!!!! I was this close to buying the UK discs. Hopefully these will port over the various documentaries, which the UK discs do not have.

Paramount should have just released Roman Holiday on this day as well. I have the UK releases and these should be the same transfers, but I'll buy these as well since they should have the Centennial dvd special features. Hopefully these have some cool packaging and unique artwork.

I plan on picking these up, but still impatiently waiting for Roman Holiday.

Same here. Sabrina is one of my all time favorites.

FYI, WB is putting these out in the US.

For whatever reason, when Paramount released Sabrina and Funny Face in the UK back in Sept, they didn't release Roman Holiday. This makes me think that it's not ready and/or available yet for WB.

Thank God! I literally have both titles in the UK Amazon cart and I've hesitated pressing order for days now.

MifuneFan · 12-10-2013, 02:53 PM

About time. I wonder if Paramount will release a Hepburn box set like they have in other countries.

jlk5844 · 12-10-2013, 03:04 PM

Awesome. I just got into Hepburn with Charade so I've been wanting to see more films of hers on Blu-ray. Looking forward to adding Breakfast at Tiffany's to my collection and picking these up too. I really do want to see Roman Holiday on blu, though. C'mon.

HD Goofnut · 12-10-2013, 03:09 PM

I'll definitely pick these up when they get cheap. Hopefully, that is sooner rather than later.

Have you seen My Fair Lady yet?

Pirate King · 12-10-2013, 03:47 PM

Thanks Akijama. You always keep us informed and it is greatly appreciated. I will certainly add these two classic films to my Blu-ray library.

The Great Owl · 12-10-2013, 04:58 PM

I'm really happy with my UK Blu-ray of Sabrina.

I might have to grab Funny Face, though.

Np, bud. You're welcome

Cover art + extras:

James Luckard · 12-10-2013, 06:56 PM

Excellent news that we'll be getting all the extras from the previous DVDs.

Since these are not the same discs as the overseas releases, which had no extras, I wonder if there's a chance we'll get new transfers? Funny Face was shot in VistaVision and even has a featurette about the process on the disc. However reviews of the UK disc suggest that while it's good, it's not as amazing as it could look.

Arkadin · 12-10-2013, 07:31 PM

FINALLY for the US.

I think only Vietnam and Bolivia have yet to get these.

At least by waiting we got a superior version with all the extras, unlike the barebones disc the rest of the world got.

No, not yet. I've heard it needs a remaster though.

It does, but it still looks much better than the DVD. If you can find it for $10 or less it's more than worth the purchase.
