Paramount Presents

[Lacrimosa]

What a bummer that Paramount is skipping releasing anything in April and May.

But these last two announcements are awesome and I'm stoked for them both.

[Jlouisbarrett]

The endlessly quotable cult-classic celebrates 40 years with this debut on Blu-ray, restored from a new 4K film transfer and packed with all-new special features. Based on Christina Crawford’s controversial best-selling tell-all novel, MOMMMIE DEAREST features a powerhouse performance by Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford, struggling for her career while battling the inner demons of her private life. While the public Crawford was a strong-willed, glamorous object of admiration, behind-the-scenes is a private Crawford—the woman desperate to be a single-mother and trying to survive in a devastating industry that swallows careers thoughtlessly.


Special Features:
• Commentary By American Drag Queen Hedda Lettuce
• Commentary by John Water
• Filmmaker Focus: Biographer Justin Bozung on Director Frank Perry
• The Revival of Joan
• Life with Joan
• Joan Lives On
• Photo Gallery
• Original Theatrical Trailer

A Place in the Sun next please.

I hope Hud, A Place in The Sun, and The Shootist are next!

Yes! One or two a month without long gaps would make a lot of people happy. What's everyone's #1 wishlist title for this line? Mine is the original The Out of Towners. Hard to pick just one but then again this studio doesn't have a whole lot of unreleased films left I need. And partnerships with Shout and Imprint are taking care of the fringe stuff I crave.

Could This Property is Comdemned make the line??

Really hard to say. As far as new to blu-titles:

Summer School (1987)
Breakdown (1997)
What Lies Beneath (2000)
Dead Again (1991)
Pretty Baby (1978)
Flesh and Bone (1993)
Children of a Lesser God (1986)
A Place in the Sun (1951)


As far as movies that have already been released on blu but ones I would LOVE to see with a new 4K scan:

Once Upon A Time in the West (1968)
Witness (1985)
True Grit (1969)
El Dorado (1966)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

I would like to see Black Sunday come out on the line.

I suppose there's about ten I'd really like, but #1 would be, Catch-22 (1970).

[trevanian]

Now that another company is doing THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST and Criterion has done PARALLAX VIEW, I'm really just down to three:

Star Trek the Motion Picture (theatrical version, but cleaned up properly with a 4K scan)
and
WILL PENNY
and
Looking for Mr. Goodbar
definitely still top my Paramount wants, and probably always will, since I can't imagine there is going to be action on either of them for years, if ever.

Ordinary People.

[dallywhitty]

The theatrical cut of The Warriors would butter my croissant.

[dvining]

I want The Weather Man, purely so I can replace the DVD on my shelf.

Sorry, Wrong Number (1948)
A Place in the Sun (1951)
Carrie (1952)
The Desperate Hours (1955)

That's all I can think of for now. There are a few obscure Republic Pictures films that I'd love as well, but I don't live in a fantasy land where I think they'll be part of this line, or even released by Paramount Perhaps at some point by Kino or one of those companies if Paramount starts licensing again.

[BwayJ]

Romeo and Juliet

[BluProofie]

I just imported A Place in the Sun, so that’ll probably be coming soon lol. Decided to hold off on Sorry, Wrong Number in case a better master is on the way.

Paramount released this in multiple territories in 2013, the only reason I can think of that it wasn't released in the US is because it was licensed out to Criterion or something, and they never got to it.

[Lacrimosa]

I forgot about Looking for Mr. Goodbar. That would be one of my top wants also but I just think it's so unlikely I often forget it and leave it off my lists.
