Some classy picks, but I think these are the only purchases for me.

Wow, really impressed by that release slate . IMO, this is their most impressive announcement ever. Well done!

[Clark Kent]

I can't believe they got to license some of those titles. The studios really have abandoned catalog product if they are giving away movies of that caliber.

[Akijama]

OMG, they licensed Heaven and Earth from Warner! .

Hunh. I wasn't expecting to see the Nov/Dec announcements for another week. But Holy Jumping Jeebus! what a line-up...especially November!

Top three picks for me in this line-up are Birdman of Alcatraz, Judgment at Nuremberg, and Inherit the Wind.

But the two big surprises are:

The Twilight Samurai -- Hot damn!!!! I love that film, and am glad to see it getting a North American Blu-ray release.

Heaven & Earth -- A Warner Bros film??!! Can it actually be that TT has managed to pry a title out of Warner's cold dead fingers? Or does Oliver Stone's production company actually own it?

I agree with you on all accounts.

Birdman of Alcatraz, Judgment at Nuremberg, and Inherit the Wind are the highlights of this lineup.

The Twilight Samurai and Heaven & Earth are “out of left field” announcements. Both nice surprises. H&E is indeed a WB title, but, sadly, that seems to be a one hit wonder, lol.

Bunny Lake Is Missing and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie both sounds like a good flicks.

Keep the good stuff coming, TT!

[RiFiFi1955]

Some great titles there...don't know how I am going to afford everything that is coming this fall though.

I imported The Twilight Samurai from HK and it looks very good. Highly recomend that film as a companion to The Hidden Blade...for obvious reasons . I know The Twilight Samurai was first and that it has more critical acclaim but I LOVE The Hidden Blade.

[NoirFan]

Bunny Lake is a great thriller.

According to TT on Facebook:

Twilight Time DVD Label: Heaven and Earth is indeed a WB title. It's a "one-off" driven by Oliver Stone who really wanted us to put it out.

[MikeZ.]

Weird timing...

I'm rereading Careless Love, and just this morning I was reading about Elvis and Don Siegel's interactions on Flaming Star.

Count me in for Judgment at Nuremberg, Birdman of Alcatraz, and Bunny Lake is Missing. I've wanted to see both for quite a while.

I hope The Twilight Samurai sells well (its 99% fresh at RT guys)...then maybe we could see a release for the last film in Yamada's trilogy - Love and Honor which is only available from Japan and it lacks English subs.

I'll probably double dip for The Twilight Samurai...that is how good it is. A must for people who enjoy Japanese cinema.

[Sodslaw]

I've got at least three to buy in each of the September and October line up but nothing until next year based on that line up for November and December

[Herry Dunston]

Judgment at Nuremberg in November, eh? Wonder how long that's gonna be sold out, if The Train says anything.
