PRE-ORDER: http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=21677

“It’s often moving, suggesting what might happen if two of earth’s perpetually warring peoples were stranded together.” —The New York Times

“Warmhearted science fiction tale…it’s entertaining.” —Leonard Maltin

“Successful in establishing a satisfying bond…an anthropomorphic view of life but touching nonetheless.” —Variety

Based on the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novella by Barry Longyear, Enemy Mine (1985) weaves the story of two warring soldiers: a good old American boy (Dennis Quaid) and his reptilian-if-humanoid counterpart (Louis Gossett, Jr.) from the planet Drac, both stranded on a hostile and alien world. Initially at potentially mortal loggerheads, the pair soon move from grudging cooperation to genuine companionship as they struggle to survive. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, The Perfect Storm), this intriguing blend of space opera and morality tale features a score by the great Maurice Jarre, available here as an isolated track.

Enjoy the extensive Julie Kirgo liner notes and film art packaged with the Blu-ray disc.

One of my all-time favorite movies and it it has held up incredibly well over the years. This is a must-have purchase for me.

I thoroughly enjoy the opening. The first 30 minutes has you hooked for the rest of the film.

Is it wrong that I'm going to be buying this title to see the gorgeous on location cinematography and gambling on whether it's attached to a good movie?

And I agree that there is no guarantee another 3rd party would have picked up some of these titles anytime soon. Image and Shout release a pretty tiny amount of Sony and Fox licensed deep catalog films respectively and appear to have had a rather limited selection of films to license. The Mill Creek deal is potentially lucrative, but the ink is still dry on that one and there have been no fruits of that deal thus far.

Criterion has always had a pretty full schedule of films licensed from several media companies both American and abroad, so its not sensible to expect them to pick up that much of Sony's and Fox's slack since they are only able to fit in a comparatively small amount of films from each company in their annual release schedule. Not to mention they are still in the process up upgrading their back catalog of already licensed and released films to blu-ray.

...speaking of which, here's another good reason for loving this movie and jumping on TT's Blu-ray:

[Maggot]

Good movie with a heart. I'll pick this up for sure.

[HD Goofnut]

One of my favorite Dennis Quaid films. I'm in as I still have the DVD.

[slimdude]

Enemy Mine? Now, who would've thought! Twilight Time has been full of surprises here lately.

[Beast]

Great movie. But I'll stick with DVD rather than support Twilight Time. Ludicrous company.

I'd rather pay $30 and have some of my favorite films in 1080p and lossless audio versus 480p and lossy audio, but that's just me.

It's not just you.

[Monterey Jack]

Good film, but not $35 good. A shame...I'd buy the hell out of this for ten or fifteen bucks.

+1

This will be my 2nd Twilight Time purchase (Fright Night was the 1st), never thought this would get a blu release, so I don't mind spending a bit more for it.

I have Mysterious Island and I will have Night of the Living Dead (1990) and Enemy Mine. I can assure you of that.

[Flex Mentallo]

Nothing can stop me from owning this movie. My family and I quote this movie to this day.
Awsome movie. Awesome score. Awesome acting.
Hell in the Pacific may be the better movie but Enemy Mine is way cooler.
I'll be preordering this movie day one. This time around, for this title, price is no issue.

[Hellboy]

Definitely in for this one.

I wish I had picked up Fright Night before it had sold out, I recently bought "As Good As It Gets", and there are two more titles that TT has coming in addition to this one I plan on picking up.
