Young Sherlock Holmes - Blu-ray Forum

arcadeforest · 08-17-2011, 10:08 PM

It looks like one of my all time favorite 1980's movies is coming to Bluray. A great film about the Holmes and Watson meeting for the first time at an English Boarding School.

Details of the disc? Source? I do not want to get my hopes up.
This is the second best secret Holmes movie.

Man, I want this one. Probably tops on my wishlist, with The Shadow a close second.

arcadeforest · 08-17-2011, 10:37 PM

I was just going by this site under the recently listed heading:

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movie...=recentlyadded

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Young...Blu-ray/28256/

It does not give a release date but I thought if it was listed here that it meant that it was coming. Hopefully thats the case, if not I apologize for getting people's hopes up.

Shawn Elestren · 08-17-2011, 11:53 PM

My favorite movie ever. As if Paramount would release it.

BluBonnet · 08-18-2011, 12:01 AM

With the sequel to the Downey version coming out soon, it would probly make sense to release this one now. Strike while the iron's hot, if you catch my drift...

dvdmike · 08-18-2011, 12:10 AM

Only if we can get this and Without a clue too

That and the Harry Potter films -- it was no secret why they wanted Columbus for HP1, because Young Sherlock Holmes is practically a HP template.

I didn't think about that... Haven't seen YSH practically since the mid 80s!

Adam_ME · 08-18-2011, 02:02 AM

Decent flick, although it seemed way more inspired by Temple of Doom than Sherlock Holmes. Great score though and I liked the post-credits twist at the end.

There was a website I looked at a few years ago that listed the similarities between Young Sherlock Holmes and the Harry Potter Series. I can't remember the name of it but it made a pretty good case that at the very least Young Sherlock Holmes had an influence on Rowling.

Sinbad75 · 08-18-2011, 05:52 PM

I note Dragonslayer is in the same listing as YSH. Two of my all time favorites. Hope they are done right, and will be day ones for me!

Jacksmyname · 08-18-2011, 06:22 PM

Saw YSH when it was first released years ago.
I was anxious to see it, as I've been a serious Sherlock Holmes fan since I was about 8 (I'm now 62).
Fun movie, and a buy for me if it's done right.

dickdarlington · 08-18-2011, 06:35 PM

Knowing Paramount, expect this to be a bare bones affair.

For example: Better Off Dead... where the film's director actually works on the Paramount lot (he has an office with Nickelodeon), he wasn't even aware of the film's Blu-ray release until the announcement was already made.

DrrnHarr · 08-18-2011, 06:49 PM

I am a Sherlock Holmes fan and like "Young Sherlock Holmes", but I would have to disagree that this is a great Sherlock Holmes movie as it takes too many liberties with the Conan Doyle character.

In my opinion the best Holmes movie is Billy Wilder's "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes."

Ray_Rogers · 08-18-2011, 06:51 PM

I'd much rather have all of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes in the Granada Productions, Sherlock Holmes television series.

BHolst · 08-18-2011, 06:52 PM

As long as the movie looks great (no tampering) and have lossless audio I'm happy. I would love a full collector's edition or the like, but the movie done right is most important.

I think I have seen this in all the (main) formats: At the movies (I think we were 5 people all in all a late sunday afternoon...), have owned the VHS, the LaserDisc and the DVD.

So bring on the Blu-Ray (and Dragonslayer too, why do I feel old all of a sudden?!?

)

Can I wote for both?

And "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" as well, please!

Ray_Rogers · 08-18-2011, 07:02 PM

I'd also like to have The Hound of the Baskervilles (Hammer Productions), The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, Silver Blaze, Murder by Decree, The Seven-Percent Solution and A Study in Terror in comparison to Young Sherlock Holmes.
