An early announcement to retailers indicates that in February 2011, MGM Home Entertainment, in conjunction with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, will release four Oscar-winning or nominated catalog movies. On February 8, it will release Thelma & Louise (20th Anniversary Edition) (Ridley Scott, 1991). A week later, the studio will release Last Tango in Paris (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1972), Moonstruck (Norman Jewison, 1987), and Rain Man (Barry Levinson, 1988).
Special features have not been revealed at this time. Thelma & Louis is labeled as a 20th Anniversary edition and thus is expected to include some new extras.
MGM is doing pretty good with catalogs lately considering the financial troubles. Too bad Disney and Paramount cannot follow thier lead. They have almost abandoned the idea of releasing anything from thier catalog.
Looking forward to picking up Rain Man. It's definitely one that should have already been released. Hopefully it will have the PQ & AQ this title deserves.
This is a nice lineup. I'm especially glad to see Rain Man on the list. It's long overdue. I'm also interested in Last Tango in Paris and Thelma & Louise.
All good releases...price 'em right and I'll end up with all of them. But where the HELL is A Fish Called Wanda??? It never even got a decent DVD release. Let's see some love for John Cleese.
T&L was maybe an OK flick when feminism didn't start to really, truly derail which it has today. But no need to fuel it. Anyway, think what you will of that movie. I'm more interested in Rain man.
My top 3 Ridley Scott films: Blade Runner, Alien, and THELMA & LOUISE ...the latter of which I've been anxiously anticipating since my email campaigns to MGM/UA.
Rain Man, definitely one of Tom Cruise's best performances. Was going to watch it on Netflix streaming yesterday but will wait for the Blu-Ray cause the PQ sucks.
All good movies, but I already own them on DVD and they look pretty good. I'm waiting for them to release stuff like Motel Hell, Without Warning, Pumpkinhead, The Fog, The Monster That Challenged The World, Gorgo, Blood Beach, Green Slime, Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2.
Last Tango worth a look; wish they would get some old musicals out of the vaults, along with the Bonds of course. Should make some dough on these releases tho; pretty popular stuff in general.
'The Train', 'The Music Lovers' & 'Heavens Gate' (Full Directors Cut) plus the least aging Bond 'On Her Majesties Secret Service' would ALL be day one for me.
LTIP....I like Marlon Brando but this movie isn't that good IMO. And someone mentioned why would we want to see Marlon naked in HD? I would but all he shows is his butt. And the other nudity is that girl he hangs out with and her out-of-control pubes. I sure as hell don't want to see THAT in HD.
...the latter of which I've been anxiously anticipating since my email campaigns to MGM/UA.
