BruceH Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 McCloud was a "Sunday night mystery movie" series that I loved as a kid, but have the feeling that it might not hold up so well now. That complete Thin Man box looks good! Has anyone checked out the Homicide DVD's? I've been watching them lately and being reminded of why I liked the show so much. (Trivia: Edie Falco appears in some early episodes as the wife of a cop who gets shot.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfricaBrass Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) Here's a guilty pleasure that I've been waiting for a long, long time. The Gumball Rally (1976) I saw this in the theatre when I was seven years old and it has always been a favorite. IMO it's 100 times better than the Cannonball Run. I just love the watching those great cars. Release date - August 30, 2005 BTW - I too am excited about the Thin Man set.

Stefan Wood Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 All of Val Lewton's movies will be reissued in October -- either as one box set for about $60, or three 2 for 1 dvd sets at $20. Can't wait!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Already have the Criterion Cocteau Orphic Trilogy and am really looking forward to this release. Should be out on the 26th. Anyone else? Wow!!! Me too! And me. Entr'acte is already on one of the Rene Clair Criterion discs, but it will be very nice to have the Leger & Dulac. A nice DVD of all of Germaine Dulac's films would be a marverlous thing. ← Do either of the releases of Entr'acte use the Ertic Satie music from Parade that was written for the original screenings (which were part of a theatrical presentation-- the film was the "entr'acte")?

I didn't watch that but would probably enjoy it. I hope they put Days and Nights of Molly Dodd out, it sort of covered the same territory as Ally McBeal but much, much better.

Kalo Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 The Lewton boxed set, as I understand it, will have THREE movies unavailable separately, including one of my favorites:The Seventh Victim, which boasts a shower scene that anticipates Psycho by more than a decade.

Lewtons’ productions are very good considering the handicap he had, no budget. For example, most of the scenes in the Seventh Victim (and other of his films) were shot on recycled sets from The Magnificent Abersons. Because of this handicap he was forced to create atmosphere in stories (good thing) and use exploitive titles (not so good but no big deal). Not sure if it is an original screenplay or based on a short story. Worthy film, Kim Hunter with baby fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERIGAN Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Both Cat People movies will be included on a single disc. But me for the box. We're talking (B-Movie) history, here! ← How are the Val Lewton movies with Boris Karloff? ← I have only seen Body Snatcher,(Just checked allmovie.com, and all 3 Karloff/Lewton films were made in 1945!) but it is an excellent film!(My favorite Karloff film is the little known "The Walking Dead") Karloff, is just mesmerizing, just amazingly creepy! Here is a blurb from allmovie about Body Snatcher, but see the film, don't go there and have the ending spoiled! Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi were given top billing in the Val Lewton-produced The Body Snatcher, but the film's protagonist is played by Henry Daniell. A brilliant 18th century London surgeon, Daniell can only make his humanitarian medical advances by experimenting on cadavers, which is strictly illegal. Karloff plays a Uriah Heep-type cabman who is secretly a grave robber, providing corpses for Daniell's research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
