The Guns of Navarone Blu-ray

Distributor: Sony

ChrisDilke · 07-27-2011, 11:34 PM

Hmm, could this be one of the two numbered titles from Sony that we're currently missing? It wouldn't surprise me if it was.

KingSimba, where do you get these dates? Are you on some sort of a mailing list and if so, how can you sign up for one?

Nope, not on any mailing lists.

I get most release dates from places like the BVA website, retailers like Amazon/Play etc.

KrugerIndustrial · 07-28-2011, 12:21 AM

Ah I see. Noticed this is being released in Scandinavia(by Universal) in just two weeks. Might pick it up..

kashif · 07-28-2011, 01:51 AM

Great New!

Arkadin · 07-28-2011, 01:56 AM

my question is what is Sony planning--if anything-- after this and Caine Mutiny come out?
Those are the only 2 older classics I have even heard being talked about over the last few months for Sony.
maybe throw in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but that's a 70's film.
Is Sony even going release any other 50's and 60's films on bd?
or god forbid, an actual 30's or 40's classic.
We know that Lawrence of Arabia is coming next year, but what else?
Is this it for Sony as far as older classic on bd?

On the Waterfront - brilliant film that surely must be released on blu-ray

This would contradict Penton-Man's post from earlier this year that suggested we wouldn't see GUNS until 2012.

ChrisDilke · 08-03-2011, 01:13 AM

Currently £8.99 to pre-order on HMV:

Apologies. I misremembered this - he was actually talking about MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL.

Swearengen · 08-05-2011, 05:19 PM

I've ordered it for delivery wednesday here in Denmark. It looks like a 2 disc release.

They haven't officially been announced yet.

However Lawrence of Arabia will most likely be one, and is currently due for release next year.

The Caine Mutiny is also due for release next year and could be another.

The Driver · 10-24-2011, 04:25 PM

Haven't seen The Guns Of Navarone for eons. Stopped watching 'old' war films years ago but I've been having a bit of reboot on Blu-ray and enjoying most of them.

I'll go for this when it drops back to £6.
