twilightfan · 02-09-2009, 02:09 AM

Sony is releasing Roxanne on May 5th
MSRP $28.95

Blu Titan · 02-09-2009, 02:18 AM

It is a very nice movie. I will buy it at some point.

And for fans who want to complain about the current tragic "Cheaper"/"Pink Panther"-era Steve Martin...you may be too young to remember, but there WAS a time when Steve Martin was genius--
A magical long-ago time for movies called the "Mid-late 80's".

All Of Me takes the cake for me in showcasing Martin's talent....absolutely hilarious movie!

While "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" was Martin's first new-Steve "straight" comic role after "The Jerk", and tragically escaped notice...

"The Man With Two Brains" also hit the right mid-point between Old and New Steve, at just the right point at the beginning of the 80's.

Meeklo · 02-09-2009, 04:00 AM

I'd say "The Jerk" was Steve Martin's best movie ever...

"My name is in the phone book...I'm a somebody."

"You got my name tattooed on you butt. I bet more people see that then the phone book."

"I was born a poor black child."

"These cans are defective!"

Excellent. This is an unexpected but a nice announcement.

Brad1963 · 02-09-2009, 04:19 AM

The Nicolas Cage film It Could Happen To You is being released same day by Sony.

Both that and Roxanne have been showing on HDNet Movies, so no surprise to see them released on Blu-ray shortly thereafter.

Roxanne was written by Steve Martin if I'm not mistaken. Those tend to be among his best films. Hopefully Lion's Gate releases L.A. Story soon.

Sweet! I loved watching Roxanne when I was younger, and Steve Martin was hilarious! Day one purchase!!

levcore · 04-10-2015, 07:49 AM

I picked this up and rewatched the first 45 minutes last night. Such a lovely movie with really great writing. Looking forward to finishing it tonight. PQ is pretty decent too.

MassiveMovieBuff · 12-17-2018, 02:04 AM

Just got done watching this. It's been well over 20 years since I first saw it and was very pleasantly surprised by how great it is. I remember being underwhelmed by it but I thoroughly enjoyed it on this viewing. Steve Martin is my favorite comic actor next to Bill Murray. Incredibly charming film. I was surprised by the mediocre transfer score on here along with Hi Def Digest. I thought it looked very good especially for an early blu ray release.

levcore · 12-17-2018, 05:00 AM

Delightful movie, one of Martin's best.

Is this now OOP?

Either this was bumped because you knew abou the Mill Creek release, or that's a hell of a coincidence as they just announced it, coming out August 13th

sandman slim · 05-16-2019, 11:21 PM

One of the best movies of the 80's. If you don't own the OOP original release, I highly recommend you pre-order that new one. Great, great film.

levcore · 05-17-2019, 06:44 AM

Agreed, I love this movie dearly and I love the setting, Nelson is such a beautiful place.

Haha. I know right. It seriously must have been announced right after I posted that response.

Damn, I need that slipcover.
