re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
As am I, I just wish their prices were more reasonable. Olive titles never seem to be heavily discounted on Amazon either. I picked up Geisha Boy for $14.14 shipped from DD and Rock-A Bye Baby for around the same from B & N, but the former was part of a sale and for the latter I used a discounted giftcard. Family Video sells Olive titles for $17.99, which is still too high for me.

So excited to hear that Olive films has acquired the Republic Films Library. I'm hoping that films such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers and High Noon make their way onto Blu-ray.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels his BD collection isn't quite complete without both of them.

I agree...the remake is very good, but the original is a classic. I would love to see both versions of the original make their way onto a Blu-ray release, with and without the framing device.

Body Snatchers I'm especially looking forward to - I just wish that Olive titles weren't so damn expensive. Between these two, Space Children, Colossus of New York, and whatever other Republic/Paramount stuff they put out in the second half of this year, I'll be cleaned out!

Nope:
And zip for Body Snatchers. Both are 'restored in HD from the film's original negative' though. Here's what was dropped from High Noon:
I guess I'll just stick my High Noon disc into the Blu-ray case then.

Agreed! I consider it one of the greatest American films of the 1950's, so I'm looking forward to retiring my washed-out German DVD.

Body Snatchers! Johnny Guitar! In HD!
With these two, the Godard releases, and 1900 (among others), Olive is turning out to be one of the most exciting labels.
