Yep! That and the Val Lewton boxed set, and the Bela Lugosi boxed set, and the Hammer boxed set. Looks like October is going to be an expensive month for me.

Off topic, but does anyone know if there are any plans for a Mighty Joe Young (1949) DVD release?

Scrubs S1, Batman SEs.

And i think when I and the above poster talk about the four Batman Special Editions its of the already released movies. My most anticipated movie was definitely Batman Begins, but that was in theatres. Now that i've seen it, its not on my most anticipated DVD release list. The original four Batman flicks i am anticipating more b/c they sorely need the special edition treatment and i cant wait to see all the special features and even a new cut of the fourth film.

Can't say there is a specific title I've really been waiting for (although I guess maybe Stargate SG1 s8 would qualify), but overall it's been a GREAT year for TV on DVD:

Stargate SG1 & Atlantis
new Twilight Zone sets
Hogan's Heroes
Tales from the Crypt
Monk
Battlestar Galactica
Dead Zone
etc, etc, etc...

ShagMan 07-11-05 09:19 AM

Looking at my list, I'd have to say either Dune or Gladiator. I'm also now eagerly awaiting Batman Begins later this year so I can watch it over and over again.

mikeporter 07-11-05 09:28 AM

My most wanted is Office Space SE. Runner ups: Gladiator EE, King Kong 33 SE

Quatermass 07-11-05 09:39 AM

Gee, I wonder whatever happened to that cast? I don't know about the others, but I saw that C. Thomas Howell is in a new version of "War of the Worlds" at Blockbuster.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - 2-Disc Set from MPI Home Video, under their Dark Sky label. It will feature a brand new, totally remastered, 16x9 enhanced transfer (produced by Don May, Jr., President of Synapse Films, in 2003 for the VOOM HD Satellite Service. Don previously worked for Elite Entertainment and produced the transfer for their LaserDisc release of Chainsaw in 1996. Pioneer used the wrong transfer for their DVDs in 1998 and 2003.), an extended cut of the 2000 documentary "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth" produced by David Gregory of Exploited Video in the UK (formerly 72 minutes, now 80 minutes), a new commentary track with David Gregory, Marilyn Burns, Paul Partain (now deceased), Bob Burns (also gone), and Allen Danziger, etc. It's still uncertain if the extras from Pioneer's DVD will make it to the 2-Disc Set. No release date yet.

I'm also looking forward to

Alone in the Dark (1982) (Special Edition with commentary by Director Jack Sholder, interviews, etc., Image Entertainment) - September 13
Psycho II (1.85:1, 16x9, Universal) - September 13
Psycho III (1.85:1, 16x9, Universal) - September 13
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (Divimax Series, Anchor Bay) - No date
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (Divimax Series, Anchor Bay) - No date
Halloween Documentary DVD with interviews from most of the cast members from parts 1-8. (90 minutes) - No date

is Broken Arrow really slated for release - I love my DTS laserdisc of this film, the audio just rips.

Now if only Universal would get off their high horse and let Woo deliver his unrated gory version of Hard Target, I'd be one happy camper.

RichDB10 07-11-05 05:58 PM

The High and The Mighty

Looking forward to the two disc deluxe treatment ... almost makes it worth the wait. Almost.

gutwrencher 07-11-05 07:43 PM

I've been waiting every year for a few like these....still I have sadface.

Inside Moves
They All Laughed
The Other

And more Marillion concert dvds!

kingtopher 07-11-05 08:56 PM

Definitely the Sopranos - Season 5. I've been itching to have it on DVD ever since the season originally aired, since I don't have HBO and am addicted to the show. Finding it at Sam's almost a week before the release date only sweetened the deal.

Behind that one, the next two are probably the WB' Film Noir Vol. 2 boxed set and King Kong.

LorenzoL 07-11-05 08:58 PM
