The Black and White CinemaScope Blu-ray Thread

[noirjunkie]

Once Twilight Time releases the cover art and it's added to the database, I'll be adding Otto Preminger's Bunny Lake is Missing (1965) to this list. It's slated for release on November 11.

Fox has some widescreen genre titles that I would like to have:

SPACEMASTER X-7
THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH
HAND OF DEATH

All added. I also added Compulsion (1959) to the wishlist.

I'd like to see ADVISE AND CONSENT remastered for Blu. Current prints, such as the DVD and the TCM print, look a bit fuzzy to me.

The Day the Earth Caught Fire Blu-ray (1961) coming from the BFI in the UK

Never seen it, but it looks interesting....

IMDB says "with tinted sequences" - not sure which category that puts it in.

For now, I've put it in the "honorable mentions" category, but once it comes out and gets reviewed, I'll revisit that categorization.

Also, Compulsion is getting a French blu-ray release. If anyone can find the cover and upload it into the database, I'll add it to the list.

Marketa Lazarová is out on blu-ray and it looks gorgeous.

The only one that's been released (and is in the OP) is She Devil from Olive Films. I'll check on the rest and add them to the applicable list. (Also, bless you for putting them in alphabetical order.)

I'll add it.

[vdmello]

Plunder Road (1957) is in RegalScope too. And the Olive Films release PQ is not bad...

[javi92]

Fate is the Hunter (1964). Available from Twilight Time.

It's in the OP. And I'd say the picture quality is better than not bad--it's pretty great.

I can't believe I overlooked that one, especially since I own it. Added.

[Jobla]

Twilight Time has also released THE WAYWARD BUS in CinemaScope.

You might also want to revisit the categorization of "Gandu" and move it to the "honorable mentions" category since it contains a long scene in color towards the end of the film.

(I've mentioned this earlier in the original b/w scope thread =>

Thanks for mentioning that. I've moved it.

Two more that I cannot find on your list are THE MONEY TRAP (1965) and BRAINSTORM (1965) - both are MGM, neither say what scope process was used, but both are 2.4:1 . . . they are out on WA MOD's.

[thebard]

Coming soon:





For the wish list:

Sons and Lovers

I added both, but given that they're WB-owned films, they'll probably stay on the wish list forever.

Added both to their respective lists.

I also added The Last Man on Earth (1964) to the main list, as it's coming out in October from Scream Factory.
