The lineup includes Indian Summer, Gross Anatomy, The War At Home, First Do No Harm, Prefontaine, Baby Secret of the Lost Legend, Aspen Extreme, Disorganized Crime, My Boyfriend's Back, Cabin Boy, Betsy's Wedding, Captain Ron, Puppet Masters, Swing Kids, the 1961 version of Babes in Toyland, Spaced Invaders, Heartbreak Hotel, Muppets Christmas Carol (full frame only), Washington Square, Celtic Pride, The Program, Mr. Destiny, and two real trilogies of terror, Ernest Saves Christmas, Ernest Goes to Camp and Ernest Scared Stupid, and Mighty Ducks 1, 2 and 3. Then on 10/8 comes even more fun, including Kazaam, the cannibal laugh-fest Alive, Billy Bathgate, Jungle 2 Jungle, Two Bits, Of Love and Shadows, and another trilogy, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Honey We Shruk Ourselves, and Honey I Blew Up the Kid.

I have nothing against releasing their old films on dvd, i just think it should be spread out over a longer time frame. Is song of the south on the list??????? (Oh i forgot,that classic isnt PC enough to release on dvd!)

And I was really looking forward to a Director’s commentary track on ‘Zazzam’.

By the way, anyone notice all those special “buy ‘Pearl Harbor’ and get ‘The Rock’ for free” packages in your local stores. Let’s just say that it wasn’t because of all those ‘Rock’ DVD’s that were left unsold…

I would much perfer " The Rock" over Pearl Harbor!!!. The movie was a waste save the action portions of the attack on Pearl harbor. The movie had so much potential but it was squandered IMHO.

Disney is the distributor for Hard Days Night. The site I buy DVD says the release date hasn't been determined. Any hear anything about it?

 

[Tannerman]

If they are Pan and Scam, I won't consider them... otherwise, bring them on...

Has anyone heard if there is a plan to release a wide-format DVD of the 50's Classic 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea. I am certain Disney would sell tons of these. Being a movie that had a big impact on me as a kid, and the poor quality of my Disney VHS issue (wearing out), I REALLY hope so!
