Really excited about Fantastic Voyage, Sand Pebbles, 12 O'Clock High and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

I've seen that Fantastic Voyage/ Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea "Double Feature" DVD go for quite a bit on ebay recently. Already own that one, but will surely double dip on those two.

Sand Pebbles has been OOP for a while too, and has been fetching high prices on Ebay. Good news.

Yay, I was just bitchin' in the other thread about pointless re-releases. At least this announcement has something worth hearing.

Only thing really stupid about these is this god-awful subtitle:
Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea: Global Warming Edition (6-5-2007) :WTF: stop already! Dumbest title ever, period.

Maybe Al Gore came up with the name.

I'm happy with the current DVD of The Hustler...curious how this new version will differ.

JMcCraw

Oh no, global warming! It's here two days before the day after tomorrow, run!

I will pick up several of these.

here's some info about both The Verdict and The Hustler

The Hustler was available as a 2-discer in the UK recently and I had my suspicions that new set would find its way over here. I wanted the movie too, so good thing I didn't find it before this was indeed announced.

FILMCZY

Yawn.

naitram

If The Verdict is a new transfer, I'm all over that!

Bill Needle

Courtroom dramas bore me to tears, but I'll pick up the rest.

GreenVulture

Was wondering why I couldn't find The Hustler online anywhere.

The No Man

Very happy about The Hustler!

hiccup

Yay! Can't wait. Pretty much want most of them except for a couple.

Mr.Briggs

Can't wait for the Verdict SE. I wish they'd do one for Absence Of Malice, another Newman favorite of mine.

davidh777

I love them courtroom dramas

Boba Fett

I'm still waiting for the Criterion Edition of "Trial and Error"

NatrlBornThrllr

You, sir, are funny. Funny and original.

naitram

Me too, usually. But the Verdict is just a damn fine film and Newman is excellent as usual.

gcbma

Blah. Nothing I'm interested in.

Bill Needle

Oh great, now you've got me thinking...I am a huge Paul Newman fan...

Dammit! Add it to the wishlist!

skywalker8

Newman and Lumet did commentary for The Verdict. Looking forward to that.

Skoobooz

That's already present on the OOP version. It's 95% Lumet with some minor input from Paul Newman. A decent track, but not as strong as the ones Lumet recently did for Dog Day Afternoon and Network.

Man this June 5th will be an expensive day for me:

Sand Pebbles, Von Ryan's Express, Fantastic Voyage, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Neptune Factor & The Sergio Leone Anthology Boxset.

Great stuff, I love this Cinema Classics Line.

Cosmic Bus

I assume the artwork on Von Ryan and the Sand Pebbles was done by the same artist who handled the two Fox spy classics last year. It's absolutely gorgeous stuff and certainly does a good job really "selling" the DVD (although I wound up kind of disappointed in the actual films of the Chairman and Quiller Memorandum).
