Well I've always said I'd pay a ridiculous amount of money for a Lawrence UHD, so I guess I might actually have to do that! Is there any indication these will get individual releases down the line?

Not that I wouldn't mind owning the six films, but I'm fine with my existing Mr. Smith and Dr. Strangelove discs. And really, nothing is quite as beautiful as the big box for Lawrence that came out in 2012.

Yeah, I’m not sure I care about anything else there other than Lawrence. I already have a pretty good copy of Strangelove and I’m not sure League is a movie that absolutely has to be seen in 4K. I don’t care to ever watch Jerry Maguire again. Just give me Lawrence in 4K by itself!

I have the Dr. Strangelove Criterion, so I really don't feel much of a need to upgrade that. The other films in the set would be nice to have but really I'd be buying it just for Lawrence.

Target has a pre-order up: https://www.target.com/p/columbia-c...gt_adv_xasd0002 Only $112, which comes out to $18 a film! FilthyImp posted:HDR, though? The 2011 restoration was done at 4K, but WB would probably re-do it with a newer scan by now. Would actually be a good UHD candidate since it was from an original nitrate fine-grain.

I'm not paying $18 for Jerry Maguire when there are still so many VHS copies to be had at every goodwill and underpass in north america.

If this is the only physical release of Lawrence I’ll be furious. Although since UHD is all region free, any standalone release anywhere would work...

There’s no way it doesn’t get a solo release. But I’m also waiting on The Prestige stand-alone UHD to come back so.... EDIT: also what a weird mishmash of titles. Boywhiz88 fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Apr 3, 2020 |

Yea the odd mix of mostly unrelated films is what I try to stay away from. If it were a David Lean UHD set with Bridge on the River Kwai, Dr. Zhivago and Passage to India, then ok yea it'd be a no-brainer purchase. If we don't get specific info on a standalone release before this drops I'll have no choice but to buy it though. I don't want it going out of print and then all the sudden the only way to get a Lawrence UHD is to buy it used for like triple the price.

I went ahead and pre-ordered it since it's still only about $20 each for six films from Sony 4K restorations/remasters, which is a steal. I doubt even the individual releases would be that cheap. The big box is going right into my closet, though. Seriously, had they announced just Lawrence of Arabia for $112, I would pre-order it because it's my most-wanted 4K title after 2001. Warner Bros. owns Dr. Zhivago (35mm Panavision) and Ryan's Daughter (65mm Super Panavision). Dr. Zhivago had a full 4K restoration from 8K scans, but Ryan's Daughter hasn't even been upgraded from DVD yet.

There are moments in Lawrence that still make me tear up like... 6 viewings in. I’ve said it before but it’s a shame, at some level, that productions like that no longer exist. It’s just so much more visceral knowing that they are using hundreds of people at once, or wrangling tons of camels or horses. Some of those shots are just awe-inspiring, even ones that are just emphasizing the environment.

It's just so big. No CGI can ever reproduce that feeling of real expansiveness and scope. I feel the same way when I watch Aguirre, The Wrath of God.

They don't even do card tricks in the movie, which is what I assume that background is going for. It's just an insult. If you elect me president I will force companies to use original key art for home releases thank you for your time.

All the marketing about The Prestige really should have revolved around the fact that it's a movie about two assholes pulling sick pranks on each other, which is really why it's the only Nolan film that I fully enjoy.

The high school library had a copy on VHS (the letterboxed restoration). Even on my tiny 20" CRT TV in my bedroom, it was an incredible experience. Not just the scale of the film, but Lawrence is introduced as this queer dweeb who goes on to greatness. It really spoke to someone who was a misfit. Add on top all the fantastic performances and dialogue, it's a perfect film to me.

More details out on the Columbia Classics 4K box... All six films have HDR10 except for Lawrence of Arabia, which is in Dolby Vision (!) New Dolby Atmos remixes for Lawrence of Arabia (!), Gandhi, A League of Their Own, and Jerry Maguire Dr. Strangelove includes all the extras from the Criterion and Sony Blu-rays. Lawrence of Arabia has all the limited gift set extras, plus one new one (the international prologue). Looks like the other four films keep all the Blu-ray extras, plus adding a few new featurettes and original trailers. Lawrence of Arabia and Gandhi are split across two UHD discs each for maximum quality.

I really want that UHD tho, goddamn that price. as for that boxset, I can't wait to buy some of those discs separately. Either through official channels or buying them individually, printing out covers and purchasing empty UHD boxes. I did that with that god awful TMNT boxset from awhile back with the chintzy carboard pizza box that was torn upon arrival and the awful hard plastic disc holders. dorium fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Apr 3, 2020 |

Can't really agree with that but I see where you're coming from. Memento is great, Inception is still a ton of fun (though I admit that I skip over most of the Mal stuff on casual rewatch), and yeah, Prestige is an all-timer. Outside of that I can take or leave his films, but I'll always show up to his new ones because it's a better track record than most.

Consensus seems to be that each film is in its individual case and can be slid out of the box. Maybe they're digipaks, but even in Sony's big gift set for Lawrence of Arabia, they used a standard plastic case (though, for four discs). I'm putting the big box in my closet and the individual films on the shelf.

Is the UK X the full uncut version or just the least cut? And do you think that Criterion is planning on releasing it as a disc? Apparently it's on Shudder but it is missing around seven or eight minutes.

The X-Rated print of The Devils went through the states on a tour back in 2016, I assumed at the time it was hype for an eventual home video release.

People have been waiting for a home release of the director's cut of The Devils for as long as it's existed, but Warner Bros. won't allow it. Mark Kermode, who helped find the footage for Ken Russell to use for the director's cut, explained some of it a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAY6TFTAmQg

Only way i know is to go to blu-ray.com and change the search region to UK, search for the movie title and click the Arrow release. On the title's page there will be a tab for region coding where user's can submit playback results. Sometimes the information will be wrong and there may even be multiple conflicting submissions. Fun! It's made me skip out on the last few Arrow sales because i just cant be bothered. Arrow, add this information to your damned site!
