IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT

SYNOPSIS
Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert team up for laughs as mismatched lovers in this 1934 screwball comedy classic. Spoiled Ellie Andrews (Colbert) escapes from her millionaire father (Walter Connolly), who wants to stop her from marrying a worthless playboy. En route to New York, Ellie gets involved with an out-of-work newsman, Peter Warne (Gable). When their bus breaks down, the bickering couple set off on a madcap hitchhiking expedition. Complications fly when the runaway heiress and brash reporter fall in love. Directed by Frank Capra, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT was the first movie to be honored with all five major Oscars®: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

TO SIR, WITH LOVE

SYNOPSIS
A novice teacher faces a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class punks in this classic film that reflected some of the problems and fears of teens in the 60s. Sidney Poitier gives one of his finest performances as Mark Thackeray, an out-of-work engineer who turns to teaching in London’s tough East End. The graduating class, led by Denham (Christian Roberts), Pamela (Judy Geeson) and Barbara (Lulu, who also sings the hit title song), sets out to destroy Thackeray as they did his predecessor by breaking his spirit. But Thackeray, no stranger to hostility, meets the challenge by treating the students as young adults who will soon enter a work force where they must stand or fall on their own. Celebrating its 55th anniversary.

I was 2 for 6. That's a fail.

All are great, except for Annie.

[dvining]

I have the first two, so I might as well keep on with this.

I'm glad to be getting it in 4K. I had that on Betamax taped off of HBO when I was a kid.

I just don't get why it's being included in this set. Tootsie is a far more logical choice for a 1982 Sony release.

I bet it's this: From Here to Eternity is a 1979 American three-part, six-hour television miniseries. The miniseries originally aired in three two-hour installments on three consecutive Wednesdays on NBC on February 14, 21 and 28, 1979.

Day 1 for As Good As It Gets.

I’ve never heard of any of the other films included.

Only one I have seen is Annie, and I would definitely get that if it were a stand-alone disc. I enjoy it for sentimental reasons. I remember my sisters watching it a lot growing up, and they would sing and dance to it. I happen to enjoy it by default ha.

I have the first 2 sets, but I’m not sure about this one. I’ll have to do some research on those other films.

[stvn1974]

Pass, not a big enough fan of any of those films that I need to own them. Congrats to those who are though.

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully Vol. 4 is more up my alley.

Not even Annie? How old are you?

[dannycj]

Disappointed, not one film I want to own.

Gonna snag Last Picture Show on eBay. Pass on the rest.

[manwithnoname64]

I like the first two volumes better.

[Jar Jar Stinks]

I've never seen "To Sir With Love," but I like the song.

Speaking of, there was a sequel, "To Sir With Love II." It was a 1996 American television film directed by Peter Bogdanovich (his first made-for-TV film). Sidney Poitier reprises the role of Mark Thackeray. Like the first film, it deals with social issues in an inner city school. It sounds terrible.

[lilboyblu]

Just watched It Happened One Night for the first time a couple days ago. Would have waited, otherwise. Excited for the rest though, especially The Last Picture Show. Cybill Shepherd was a babe in her day.

[reanimator]

Personally I think this is a stronger line-up than Volume 2 -- and I loved Volume 2! Can't wait to own this.

... it's a hard-knock life...

[Nothing371]

This is a really weak lineup compared to the other two sets.

very disappointing.
