I just stopped by the old neighborhood...sad...not one vet left. I think we bailed at a good time.

Agreed, expected them to actually move us into the international section

Hey, I'm a fan of POW films, has anybody actually seen his 2006 feature, Baruto no Gakuen?

My tribute weekend for Ray Harryhausen is going well, so far I have seen

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (DVD)
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (DVD)

I am planning in the coming hours left of this weekend to see

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (DVD)
Jason and the Argonauts (Blu-ray)
Clash of the Titans (Blu-ray)

Mister Harryhausen thank you for the amazing adventures and memories you gave me as a kid and even now as an adult RIP

Wow...you are staging a SERIOUS tribute! Cool!

Which of those films would you consider your favorite?

Have fun!

I remember watching these films when I was a child. Mister Harryhausen name is synonymous to stop-motion animation. Great movies.

For me, there's the original King Kong, then there's everything else.

I do wish I had that Harryhausen Box Set, though. The extras look impressive.

While I do enjoy them all I would say my favorite would have to be Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, even if really it's probably the cheesiest one of them all

Greetings to all...sorry to see our old thread go by the wayside, although I have not been in there to post in some time. Been busy with life, as usual!

Glad to see there's a place for all the good guys to still communicate about the films we love!

Welcome Italy! Good to see you again!

[oildude]

Italy, if you don't find anyone here be sure and check the bar in the clubhouse. We hang out there too. Look at your PMs.

That also goes for BG and drbikeshorts.

Admittedly, I often slack on getting to the special features on discs. I can't believe I waited this long to view Sueur on The Secret of the Grain disc. It's 40 minutes of song and dance. They even have a cous-cous song! (which I had to record digitally).

This past weekend I finally got to Amour at the c'theque. Enjoyed it immensely. It really hit home because my father is recovering from a stroke and most of the frustrations in the film I've seen. Riva is astonishing. Amazing how her brilliance in Hiroshima and Amour are separated by 53 years.

Thanks for posting this. I often slack on watching the special features. As big a fan as I am of The Secret of the Grain and consider it one of the top films in the Criterion Collection, I have yet to watch Sueur. Now I will make time to do so.

Sorry to hear about your father. Glad he is recovering. I want to see Amour, but at this point will likely wait for the blu-ray. I just imported Cache a few weeks ago.

[ShellOilJunior]

I was surprised Amour doesn't have a North American release slated yet. It will probably see a July or August release from Sony - let's hope it's not priced like The White Ribbon ($34) was on its release a few years ago.

Sony's blu-ray of The White Ribbon may be the best looking B&W HD video that I've seen to date.

Speaking of gorgeous black and white home video, the screencaps of the upcoming release of 3:10 to Yuma look sumptuous.

The rumor (via Podcast http://welcometotripcity.com/2013/05...eric-skillman/) from Crit Co. and artist Eric Skillman is they allegedly have a planned release that features the cover art of Saul Bass. The only clue is it's not a Hitchcock.

Taking away the films already released on blu-ray this leaves us with these as possibilities:

1979 The Human Factor (poster designer)

1975 Rosebud (poster designer - uncredited)

1971 Such Good Friends (poster designer - uncredited)

1965 Bunny Lake Is Missing (poster designer - uncredited)

1965 In Harm's Way (poster designer)

1963 The Cardinal (poster designer - uncredited)

1962 Advise & Consent (poster designer - uncredited)

1961 One, Two, Three (poster designer - uncredited)

1960 Exodus (poster designer - uncredited)

1957 Love in the Afternoon (poster designer - uncredited)

1957 Saint Joan (poster designer - uncredited)

1957 Edge of the City (poster designer - uncredited)

1955 The Man with the Golden Arm (poster designer - uncredited)

1950 No Way Out (poster designer - uncredited)




My guess: Advise and Consent

Welcome Italy, and frankly just in time to post your forgotten, but classic, future releases for all to enjoy.

[Fellini912]

Here is my wish list for the month of August (any of the following):

Le Samourai
Andrei Rublev
L'Avventura
Pickpocket
Persona
Hour of the Wolf
Floating Weeds
I am Cuba

If any of the films above are released, I will be a happy individual in the month of August.

I am curious what are everyone's most anticipated titles?

[ShellOilJunior]

Just give me Hiroshima mon amour and I'm set.

[oildude]

My most wanted announcements are upgrades of:

Le Samourai (I really hope this is coming and in a new transfer)
The Cranes are Flying
Ballad of a Soldier
The Naked Prey
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold
Ace in the Hole
Andrei Rublev
Picnic at Hanging Rock (more hopeful now after seeing the recent pic)

And about 20 others, including some posted by other members that I have not seen but all the talk has got me interested. The top 8 or so posted here have not changed much in the past two years for me.

As for new announcements, I have about a dozen I'd like to see Criterion release, mostly Australian New Wave classics and Soviet/Russian cinema.

And Fred Zinnemann's The Day of the Jackal.

But my most wanted new spine would be a Canadian award winner I have posted about several times over the past year, Philip Borsos' The Grey Fox.

[drbikeshorts]

Wow! It's all happening here!
Sci-fi (I like Iain Banks), philosophy, Fellini, Léon Morin, Priest, H.P. Lovecraft (currently working my way through a collection of his work), Jean Paul Belmondo, Ray Harryhausen, Amour (my favourite film of the year so far) and this thread has only just begun.
So I might go off topics and mention Criterion: I blind-bought the Pierre Etaix set and I've already watched the first two shorts and the first feature. Fantastic films.
Funnily enough, a day before the set arrived I finally watched my BFI edition of Mon Oncle and there was Etaix's name as an assistant director.
He clearly learned how to use sound from Jacques Tati, but his "sad-sack" face immediately reminds me of Buster Keaton.
Highly recommended
