Some good titles there. I never picked the current blu ray of OFOTCN, so I'll go for the special edition. Didn't expect a new version of 2001; the current blu ray looks and sounds great, and has a healthy dose of extras. Wonder what's in store...

Will pick up the Dollars films as soon as they're released. Apparently The Good, The Bad and The Ugly blu ray has a dodgy enough transfer (??) - hopefully these'll be up to snuff.

And The Exorcist in October!

That edition was out in the UK as a HMV Exclusive.
It was in stock on HMV.com last week not checked this week. its £2 more but I just got the standard release.

This may have been mentioned earlier on this thread, but Play has The Wicker Man Blu up for pre-order in October.

Dargghhh!!! I knew that provisional release date of March was too good to be true! Still, I doubt the director's cut will be a HD option anyway.

Damn damn and more damned!

THE EXORCIST in October-I'll believe it when I'm actually holding it my hand.

Aye. And I'll believe Friedkin/Warners are releasing the proper version only when I'm holding it in my hand! I don't want the George Lucas version.

In fact, I am tempted to go into the woods and burn my dvd copy. It is an unholy disc.

It must be done. The power of Christ compels you.

Got my 1st Italian Blu Ray today of trash Tomas Milian flick "Delitto al Ristorante Cinese" today and I'm frankly astonished at how good it looks and sounds! It's like seeing the film for the first time again, of course it's nowhere near 4k restoration, but for a film this old and trashy it's a revelation! Hope all the other Nico Giraldi films get the same treatment!

If you understand Italian (No English subs) and you love these films then buy it now!
