Jess Franco's Forgotten Films Vol 1 (Ultimate Edition) Dorado Films

[2-perf]

I really like the work of spanish director José Ramón Larraz so I'm all in for Estigma.

[mhb2862]

That's what got my vote.

[2-perf]

He only has 3 films released on Blu-ray, we could use more.

I saw the Eurotika episode about Larraz "From Barcelona... to Tunbridge Wells" off the Symptoms BD and the clip (depicted on cover below) from "The Coming of Sin" stood out to me

Where do we stand on Dorado bringing over the ridiculous Argoman on BD? And do they region lock their titles?

I would want to check it out and the Italian superhero genre in general! There is none available on blu-ray.

Not knowing the film, I'd be cool with more Larraz. Have yet to see Symptoms, but Black Candles has to be one of my all time favorite films since getting the BD.
I'd second Argoman as an awesome release. That trailer just fascinates.

He's not ridiculous - he's fantastic! Watch the incredible, lightning-quick stunts he engages in throughout this action-packed trailer, including an astonishing jump at 1:41 that simply defies belief!

I went through Dorado Films Facebook posts and made a list of BDs they plan to do:

High Crime (1976) - first half of 2017
A Special Cop in Action (1976) - first half of 2017
Camino Solitario (1984) - March of 2017
The Crimes of the Black Cat (1972) - 2017
Island of the Doomed (1967)
Murder by Music (1969)
Mission Bloody Mary (1965)
From the Orient with Fury (1965)
Special Mission Lady Chaplin (1966)
The Fuller Report (1968)
Tiffany Memorandum (1967)

Is it too early for a Dorado Films thread in the Studios/Distributors section? They announced another title and it's due late 2017, one from 1967 that isn't even on IMDB:

[30hertzrumble]

I need all the Ken Clark on Blu-ray.

[Hawkmonger]

High Crime! Oh yes oh yea i'll have that! In fact i'll take all the euro crime! This is a label to keep my eye on!

[SleepDealer]

I thought you would like the announcement of Eurospy titles, 30hertzrumble. I also presume ZeTi would like the Poliziotteschi announcements hah.

Dorado Films has said:

We do plan on releasing several Eurocrime films in 2017 if the market holds out for us

Our ultimate plan is to launch one new title every 6 - 8 weeks, mixing up the genres to have an even playing field for the many fans of all the genres. 2017 should prove to be a very exciting year for so many of our hidden films!

From their Facebook earlier today:

Just a short and sweet note, we have shipped out the presale orders for the Jess Franco's Forgotten Films Ultimate Edition Vol. 1 so those who have been waiting patiently, our sincere thanks! We will be sending out shipping confirmation emails tomorrow [Thursday and Friday] many of you will no doubt receive your copies this week! Do hope you all enjoy the release!

And yes, we still have a couple of copies left of the Ultimate Edition [we have reserve some for wholesale clients, afterwards there will never be this edition available again]

The collectors edition will be posted on our website and here on FB by Monday, so the limited copies we have available will be so those who have waited still have a chance for these Franco classics.

Be back soon,

Best to all!

[Sleazeaddict]

Wow, only "a couple of copies left" of the Ultimate X 1500 Edition ? They should release way more obscure Franco, easy money!

Thanks, I emailed Rick and he sent me a Paypal invoice. Glad to see the success of this and hopefully the transfers/encodes are done well. Only need 400 more Franco films on bluray to complete the collection.

What's the difference between the Ultimate Edition and the Collectors Edition?
