I would also recommend The Buddy Holly Story. Breaking Away and Fat City are both very good. As is Cowboy if you enjoy Westerns. Twilight Samurai is good as well, but if possible, I would track down the German 10th Anniversary release as it is encoded in the correct color space. The TT release is washed out with greyish blacks.

[CriterionBlues]

I would say that Breaking Away is must own. One of the better TT packages and it is a terrific film.

Breaking Away might be my all-time favorite sports movie. It's fantastic.

Rapture is one of cinema's best kept secrets, and, as such, everyone I know who has seen it has raved about it. I love this Blu-ray, and I'm happy to join in the accolades.

Fat City is a brilliant work of 1970s cinema, but be careful not to watch it if you're going through difficult times and/or are prone to malaise. After I first watched the Blu-ray, I joked in this thread about how I am amazed that moviegoers all made it through the 1970s without slashing their wrists.

Summer Lovers and Cowboy are both sitting in my still-unwatched stack, so I will return with further details later on.

[RalphoR]

Got The Hound of the Baskervilles today...Looks like I have something to watch after the NBA Finals

[Blu Titan]

Other than some questionable castings ...Night of the General is a solid film. Watched it with my wife and we both enjoyed. My wife does not watch "old movies", but there you go .

[EManT2200]

Got my "Hound of the Baskervilles" today. I won't have time to watch it for a few days. It is going to be great, I've actually never seen it before.

All of the Woody Allen films they've released to date have been one-and-done, collect dust for me. Those 2 would get multiple viewings and much enjoyment here. Add them & Play It Again Sam to the already-released Sleeper and I'd be all set.

Good catch! I was unaware of that movie entirely. So the full list of Sony Hammer titles is:

Revenge of Frankenstein
Creatures the World Forgot
Die Die My Darling
Curse of the Mummy's Tomb
Scream of Fear
The Gorgon
Two Faces of Dr Jekyll
The Pirates of Blood River
The Devil-Ship Pirates
The Stranglers of Bombay
The Terror of the Tongs
Stop Me Before I Kill
Cash on Demand
The Snorkel
Maniac
Never Take Candy from a Stranger
These Are the Damned
Sword of Sherwood Forest
The Crimson Blade

Given the kinds of films TT releases, I am afraid that the most likely candidates are probably the last two, but I guess we will see!

And it's an exceptionally good transfer - I was genuinely surprised that Columbia went to the expense of remastering it, but they did an excellent job with it.

I agree...it looks very nice .

there are definitely some good titles on there, but not quite the home run announcement I was hoping for.
I really wish TT would get King Rat or Barefoot in The Park.
and what about Silkwood or some Budd Boetticher films?

I would love all 3 but isn't Barefoot in the Park a Paramount picture?

"Fat City" is one of the best films I've watched in the last year. I'd be hard-pressed to think of two performances in the same film any better or more authentic than Stacy Keach and Susan Tyrrell in that movie. Special film.
