What Warner Bros Classics are next for the remastering treatment??
What classic "oldies" titles are Warner Bros planninng to entertain us with after the release of The Gangsters set with Cagney et al? I'm hoping to see Special Edition sets of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, Mame, a Busby Berkeley set, the Bette Davis classics etc.
Hopefully someone out there can let us know what other titles Warner are planning?

The next Technicolor film to get the Ultra Resolution treatment is Easter Parade, which will no doubt be released around... Easter.

This is what was done for My Fair Lady, which already had a beautiful 16x9 master... but the SE featured much better encoding, which got rid of some noise and ringing on the original 1-disc DVD.

Any date for the Busby Berkeley Boxset yet?
Hello Again folks, at the risk of yet again being an obsessive bore on the subject (!!) when, if ever, is the long vaunted Busby Berkeley boxset, going to appear on DVD?
There was a nice compilation available on Laserdisc some years back, which I'm surprised has as yet never appeared on DVD, but a combination of best musical sequences plus the complete movies would be very nice to have on DVD.
However,I guess, these days Warner Bros are such perfectionists, that the remastering would need to be redone for reproduction on modern Hi DefinitionTV's and 5.1 Digital sound systems!!
Has anyone out there heard of plans for this Busby Berkeley set?
