Will need to pick up Not One Less. Hopefully, Kino puts out My Summer of Love.

Toddarino

the Warriors
the Osterman Weekend
the Hunter
Breakdown
and I’ll probably pick up Weird at some point. I’d love to get Wicker Man, but it’s really expensive.
I only have a handful and two of them got released in the US after I made my purchase.

Love Imprint, they've done everything possible to serve up films which were languishing and stuck on DVD.

OldBoy

I have Return to Paradise and City of God on its way now. Look forward to revisiting. Such great movies.

OldBoy

Return to Paradise looks gorgeous. Really good master. It’s too bad about Ann Heche. She was a real cutie in this.

It’s an expensive set. It’s too bad I just got Extreme Prejudice and The Driver. Already had Johnny Handsome, but Imprint does well by me.

Toddarino

Damn. I have all those Walter Hill movies on bluray, but for some reason I’m still considering that set. If they were all UHD’s like Driver I definitely would.

I’ve been for Searching For Bobby Fischer since Imprint has been doing a lot of Paramount catalog not previously on Blu-ray. One more DVD I can retire.

TheBang

Toddarino

Fuck! I thought for a second that Bring Me the Head Of Alfredo Garcia was a UHD. I got so excited.

I never did get David Lynch's Straight Story so I am picking it and Lolita up.

If they’re as expensive as Imprint’s other releases, I doubt I’ll be getting too many, and seeing one Japanese film and one (sorta) Hong Kong film in a sea of Mainland China stuff tells me – at least for now – who’s buttering their bread. 🙄

TheBang

It’ll be amazing to finally get a proper restoration of Farewell My Concubine. For a Palme d’Or, Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee, it’s been criminally neglected on physical media.

The 4K restoration has already happened and has been playing theatrically by Film Movement. They'll eventually release the disc in the US.

Interesting to see LET’S GET HARRY there. Well, I suppose Alan Smithee is overdue for reappraisal. Or something. Does the director’s cut still exist for that one?

Our release includes a brand NEW Audio Commentary by film historian and author Sean Redmond.

PhantomStranger

Charlton Heston fans should check out Imprint's release of Diamond Head. They licensed an older HD master from Sony but it's unlikely to ever receive another Blu-ray edition.
