Scream/Shout Factory DVD discussion thread

[dvdmrp]

Saw Amazon has two pre-orders listed that I am assuming are Shout.

One is for Sahara. They list it as Sahara 2013 but there was no Sahara released this year. I'm thinking it may actually be the 1983 Brooke Shields film owned by MGM.

Secondly, they list a Love & Bullets/ Russian Roulette. I'm also thinking this is Shout as both are ITV films and as we've seen, Shout has those through a deal with MGM.

Hopefully both of those are widescreen. I know at least Love and Bullets was widescreen in some European countries so we know that widescreen exists somewhere Still, I love Charles Bronson films and that has been on my want list for QUITE some time. I've never seen Russian Roulette but the poster alone makes me interested.
If it truly is the 1983 Sahara I'm more than excited as I love that movie!

Yes, it's the Brooke Shields film
The ITV films are not from MGM. They are from ITV.

Great to hear that it is the Brooke Shields film. It's a great one and I am so glad that you guys got it!

I don't know why but for some reason I thought that the ITV films were with MGM. My mistake Either way, I'm glad that you guys also have those as they really do have a great bunch of titles. It's nice to see that they will be released by a good company that knows how to handle catalog titles. Previously..Lionsgate had them and dropped the ball..same as they did with the Republic titles.

Is it too early to tell if Love and Bullets and Russian Roulette will be in widescreen?

SNAKE WOMAN is an interesting choice for the fourth title in the Timeless set. I don't recall seeing a good quality copy of it in the past.

I believe so, but I'm not working on it so I'm not totally certain.

Is it true the Movies 4 You: Spaghetti Westerns packs will have 4 movies on one single disc? Seriously?

What about the quality (besides insufficient compression )? Will A BULLET FOR A STRANGER finally have a good quality English audio or will this simply be another copy of the South African VHS audio 'Franco Cleef' put on his fan release?

I'm sorry to sound so negative but the Timeless Media connection doesn't really make me confident of receiving quality. I'm pretty sure they already released all of these films (couple of years ago) in their cheap 20 movies on 10DVDs boxset which simply featured copies of other available official and unofficial discs. And I doubt they even owned the rights for the films.

Since this is also the Shout! thread, would you mind listing the action quad pack as well? Thank you in advance.

Wow, Russian Roulette! It's not really that great a film but it was one of the very first movies filmed in my hometown (Vancouver, B.C.) and unlike most, it actually takes place there too. It's funny watching it and seeing how everything looked nearly 40 years ago. It was never released on DVD and the only VHS was one of those old Key Video releases. I'll definitely be picking this one up if Shout releases it.

Got my email that my pre order of the Sci Fi collection is on it's way. VERY excited to re-visit these. If the quality is on par with the Action pack, I will be extremely satisfied. Cheers to SF for these releases!

Ordered it this morning from Barnes and noble. I haven't seen any of the movies in the set, but they all look right up my alley.
