Woody Allen on Blu-ray

I don't know if you want to add a 2nd list for the releases that he is actor in or that he perhaps wrote but did not direct, but I think it would be worthwhile.
if so then Casino Royale and Scenes From A Mall could be added there.
also: there are Scoop and Match Point Hong Kong releases and an Everyone Says I Love You Japan release--strangest cover ever-- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg
also: there is a Celebrity Japan release.

Thanks, I forgot about Match Point. Updated. (Although I've heard the release is dreadful).

hmmm.... I'll try and redo it.
EDIT: ok I found it on amazon; does that work?
btw: looks like bd.com doesn't have a bunch of the Japanese bds in the database yet.
hopefully they'll get them soon.

Match Point link works fine for me in IE. Nice cover to that Blu-ray, by the way.

I know it says US/Region A releases, but just a heads up that I have bought three of the Scandinavian releases here in Norway so far (Hollywood Ending, Celebrity and Everyone Says I Love You). Since my regular Blu-Ray player is region B, I have changed the region on my laptop to A. All three movies play on my laptop so they seem to be region free.

[HyperRealist]

yep that works. thanks

[dsman71]

The link works for me on Chrome...Im waiting for a US release for Match Point...one day hopefully

Very good to know. Thanks for the heads up!

As much as I want Mighty Aphrodite, Everyone Says I Love You...I can not justify the import prices. Yikes. I guess I have to wait and wait and wait.

Luckily, Annie Hall and Manhattan are available, with the latter being my fav ever.
Still hoping for a Midsummer's Night's Sex Comedy, Sleeper, Purple Rose of Cairo, Manhattan Murder Mystery and Bullets Over Broadway.

Stardust Memories would be great but it's probably not at the top of the MGM/Fox priority list.

The current Annie Hall and Manhattan releases have the Woody Allen Collection banner on it. I'm assuming MGM is planning on releasing more? Hannah and Her Sisters would probably be one of the next I would imagine.

Yeah, they'll prefer to release the earlier, funnier ones first.

I'd like to see Sleeper get a blu release w/ both cuts of the film

(Alternate versions

There are two known cuts of Sleeper. The first, seemingly original cut, contains a dinner scene shortly after Miles and Luna return to the house where Miles was originally taken after revival. In the dialogue-less scene, Miles eats in time with a piano soundtrack while Luna watches him in amazement. In another cut distributed in the US, this scene is absent but another, in which Miles shaves using a high-tech mirror and accidentally tunes into the view from the mirror in another bathroom, is present in its place. The latter cut is on the MGM 2000 DVD, which has both a widescreen and full-screen version of the film, a trailer, Spanish dubbing, and French subtitles. The network television version cuts the scene in which Miles and Luna discover a 1990's newspaper with the headline "Pope's Wife Gives Birth to Twins")

As of March 2012 it is (According to Criterion Forum, at least).

I have ALL of his blu-rays and ALL of the Swedish imports play fine on my Sony U.S. player. They say Region B on the case, but they are clearly A/B/C. All you have to do is turn off the subtitles. Match Point from Germany is Region free. Scoop from Italy is Region B and Cassandra's Dream from Spain is region free.

What are the picture and sound quality like on Everyone Says I Love You?
