What kind of titles do you think Arrow should be releasing?

I like italian cinema or failing that i would like to see titles that have had no dvd release as of yet restored.

Arrow can only afford to do a very small handful of original restorations per year, as this is a far more expensive process than using off-the-shelf masters - which is why their original Italian restorations are of titles like Zombie Flesh Eaters and Cinema Paradiso, which are guaranteed to sell well. But of course the downside of using off-the-shelf masters is that it's overwhelmingly very likely that there'll be a DVD release elsewhere. Because unless rightsholders can sell the rights to multiple territories, there's usually little financial justification for shelling out a five-figure sum to create an HD master in the first place. It's not quite an either-or situation of having either consistently high presentational and QC standards or a catalogue primarily made up of obscure rarities, but that's the kind of balance that has to be struck. |

With Arrow releasing MGM films could we see Charles Bronson make an appearance down the line? If Arrow are releasing Chuck Norris then why not Bronson.

As for the quality issues and such forth i must confess to having a very poor eye for these things. Im used to the VHS and Beta era so all DVD and BD look fine to my eyes. With regards to Arrow films i understand there were issues with past releases but to my mind a few seconds of missing footage of a boat is nothing at all. I would not want to give off the impression of being a hater in that regard. |

The only two titles I can say I will purchase with any certainty are The Burbs and Sisters. That's not to say I'm not interested in the others but there's just too much to buy these days. I'm not complaining though.

I'm currently working on White of the Eye, a film that was last released in the UK on VHS! And out of the nineteen titles being included in the Walerian Borowczyk box that will be my next project after that, six are world video premieres, six more are getting English subtitles for the first time, and all but four are UK video premieres.

Michael can you possibly hint at what titles have been taken off the schedule due to inferior masters? Bava titles for instance or a certain Lenzi film that was announced last year?
