Coming from Universal to DVD in 2005
 

My friend received a holiday tchotke from Universal Home Video that came with a snazzy press release announcing the following titles due in 2005. Some of these are already common knowledge, but others are brand new announcements to me. Here is the list (no other details available):

12 Monkeys
Alfred Hitchcock Presents (season 1)
American Pie 4
A-Team (season 2)
Back to the Future (SE)
Backbeat (SE)
Balto 3: Wings of Change

Casino (Anniversary Edition)
Coal Miner's Daughter (Anniversary Edition)
Columbo (season 2)
Friday Night Lights
In Good Company
Kicking and Screaming
Knight Rider (season 2)
Kojak (season 1)
Las Vegas (seasons 1 and 2)
Leave it to Beaver (season 1)
Magnum PI (season 2)
Meet the Fockers
Miami Vice (season 1)
The Motorcycle Diaries
Murder She Wrote (season 1)
Ray
Seed of Chucky
The Big Lebowski (SE)
The Deer Hunter (SE)
The Jerk (SE)
The Sting (SE)
To Kill a Mocking Bird (SE)

This is fantastic news!! I really like 12 Monkeys as well, but I doubt I'll upgrade it.

The Big Lebowski (SE)!

No Backdraft or Far and Away SE?

Casino (Anniversary Edition)
The Deer Hunter (SE)

Hurray!!




But what's a "tchotke"?

Alfred Hitchcock Presents :up:
Casino SE :up:
The Jerk SE (hopefully it includes the Jerk Too) :up:
BTTF SE Meh...

I'll definitely double dip on The Big Lewboski.

NICE!!! Lebwoski, Casino, Deer Hunter, Jerk and 12 Monkeys... dude... I think I just filled the cup.

Nice!
Back to the Future (SE)
Casino (Anniversary Edition)
Ray
The Big Lebowski (SE)

P.S. American Pie 4?

Settle down, folks, this IS Universal we're talking about here. :p

the rug tied the whold room together

P.S. American Pie 4?[/QUOTE]

Its supposed to come out next year. Its about Stiffler's little brother going to band camp or something.


I wonder if 12 Monkeys is just a new transfer? Its already anamorphic and I can't imagine improving much on the extras it already has.

Excited about The Jerk and Casino

12 Monkeys, Casino and Big Lebowski! Oh yeah!

And Back to the Future would be just the fixed version of the previous release correct?

The Deer Hunter (SE)
The Sting (SE)

'bout time -smile-

Just read up on this. Thanks.

Should be interesting since there is a rumor that an SE version is coming out at the end of the year. So this kind of sounds like there is going to be one.

i wish some hard dates would come down. A lot of good news in this post.

Also i posted another list here and then posted more at the bottom of the page. Again some good news.

not enough release dates announced the week of Christmas.

Some good stuff there [Casino, Deer Hunter, Sting, Big Lebowski, 12 Monkeys, To Kill a Mockingbird {but no Blues Brothers}], but I wonder how they can make Back to the Future even more special than it already is. I think it'll just be a single disc of the trilogy version like the Godfather.

I also find it odd that Apollo 13 is absent, since it is already confirmed for release next year.

The Deer Hunter SE!!!!!!!

I sold my other version at the right time then. :up: Great news.

Never heard of it....must be a really good film.

Pro-B

Rats. No Blues Brothers. Damn Universal.

The Big Lebowski SE... :drool:

I would expect CASINO to be released around the time when MGM releases its Scorsese box set.

I am looking forward to the special edition of To Kill A Mockingbird and the Anniversary edition of Coal Miner's Daughter.

re: The Big Lebowski
In case my sarcasm detector isn't working...
Careful about blind buying this one, you'll either love it like my wife, or want to take a Louisville Slugger to it like I did.

And where the hell is MST3K: The Movie special edition?

Yep...:) check spelling....

Pro-B

The Jerk!!!!

"Stay away from the cans!"

Unless it's a new transfer, mine's good.

Hopefully it's just a seperate fixed release, or I'll be pissed.

Finally!

'Bout time!

Holy crap. This is hella good news on many counts.

What will be different with the new BTTF SE?

Casino and Backbeat :thumbsup:

Another Back to the Future? Meh.

"12 Monkeys" is one of my favorite films but I haven't been able to get a DVD of it yet... So that's great news. "The Deer Hunter," "The Sting," "Casino," and "To Kill a Mockingbird" will also be must-buys (as long as the release is good, of course.)

Casino SE :up:

12 Monkeys (SE?)
Alfred Hitchcock Presents (season 1)
Casino (Anniversary Edition)
The Big Lebowski (SE)

bring it on!

Does the world really need another American Pie? Especially without Seann william scott or alyson hannigan...

lmao, never even knew there was a balto 2, let alone 3!

If the Jerk isn't widescreen this time, then I hope all the suits at universal buy themselves some optigrabs and go permanently crosseyed...but this is great news, One of my favourite movies of all time!!!! Some very decent reissues on that list!

AHP S1? Oh.My.God.

Please let it be true.

An impressive list. Let's hope that the tv shows are not butchered and all the films are OAR (especially Sting).

Will be picking up:

Alfred Hitchcock Presents (season 1)
A-Team (season 2)
Back to the Future (SE) (maybe on this one, see if it is worth a DD)
Casino (Anniversary Edition)
Columbo (season 2)
Knight Rider (season 2)
Kojak (season 1)
Las Vegas (seasons 1 and 2)
Leave it to Beaver (season 1)
Magnum PI (season 2)
Meet the Fockers
Miami Vice (season 1)
Murder She Wrote (season 1)
The Big Lebowski (SE)
The Deer Hunter (SE)
The Jerk (SE)
The Sting (SE)

I think that might be early if this is the first announcement. I bet they will wait until miramax releases The Aviator on DVD.

Great and here I thought 2005 is gonna be easier on the poor wallet than 2004. Not that I mind much.
