It was the film Zinnemann made between High Noon and From Here to Eternity.

The more Zinnemann we get on Blu-ray, the more that is right with the world.

The Member of the Wedding is wonderful. I was very impressed with the performances of Julie Harris and especially a very young Brandon de Wilde. I'll be preordering it as soon as it becomes available.

There are exceptions but it looks like for the most part you are right. My bad.

Nice list. Cat Ballou is the only must-have for me, but I will also consider all the others except Rollerball (1st edition is fine to me) and Romeo Is Bleeding.

RalphoR · 02-09-2016, 03:43 AM

Since there won't be very many reissues coming in the future I wish they'd add one extra new release per month

Yep. IIRC it's the second time that this has happened...

Rollerball again? Pickings must be slim these days.

Too bad they didn't announce FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX for June. Would've made a nice Father's Day gift.

Still waiting. Email them and they're like 'um, not our problem contact Canada Post'. I contact Canada Post and they're like 'well the sender (Twilight) needs to file a lost email issue/complaint'.

So basically I'm never getting these movies.

I can get something from Japan in like a week, but it takes over a ****ing month to get something from the States, assuming it doesn't get lost on the way.

Update: They told me they'll only do a refund if the order is less than $50 (mine was $200) but that she'd check with the owners if something could be done. I told her I hope they could considering I've easily ordered over $1000 in movies from them over the past 2 years.

Cat Ballou

Crap that sucks. I hope TT comes through for you.

I wonder if it is possible that Twilight Time can offer titles that were originally on Blu-ray but then go out of print? 2 titles that appear to meet that criteria are Starman and Cocoon. Even as I type this I suppose even if they could, TT might well not want to, assuming that consumer demand would not be high since they were once available and many who wanted those titles already have them (as I do, having resorted to buying the UK and German editions respectively due to their OOP status here in the States). But as we know, there are a lot of John Carpenter fans so maybe Starman would be a good seller for TT.

Sony usually ends up giving these types of titles to Mill Creek for reissue.

Thank you, I did not know it was Sony that did that. Do other studios sometimes do the same in giving Mill Creek OOP titles, or it solely Sony?

captveg · 02-09-2016, 09:07 PM

Only Sony has done that with a handful of their OOP titles IIRC

Yup. Just Sony. Cocoon is Fox though, in any case.

It looks like this was caught in the nick of time and the UPC for SYLS / SYLG should be corrected when it is released.

haha.... after the posts above, I just noticed I have advanced in Blu-ray rank. After six years on the forum, I have become a samurai.

So I'll use that as an excuse to plug one of Twilight Time's best films, Yoji Yamada's magnificent The Twilight Samurai. I rank this one up near Harakiri (1962) as one of the best samurai films I have ever seen. If you are not a samurai fan, this film will still make you fall in love with its gorgeous cinematography and interesting story that begins deceptively as a well-acted drama, slowly building suspense, before unleashing a searing chain of events that will leave you on the edge of your seat. With a hauntingly beautiful music score from master musician Isao Tomita (of 1970s electronica fame), The Twilight Samurai is another in a long line of masterpieces to come out of Japan over the decades, and reminds me why I can't get enough of great movies.
