More Hollywood classics being released! Nice!

Seems like everything in the uk seems to be getting a steelbook treatment atm....aint complaining the least

I'm suprised that a thread hadn't already been created for this, it's been up on HMV for a few days now (discussed over at one of the other popular sites).

 

[SaberTooth]

a movie about a fat dude?

Please explain. This film has nothing to do with Hollywood.

Please explain. This film has nothing to do with Hollywood.

I was speaking metaphorically. I generally consider films released from say the 30's's to 50's as the golden age of Hollywood

 

[Soundeath]

I want it.

Never heard of it.

Love seeing older films being released on steelbook, didn't know much about this but looked it up and seen it was directed by Michael Powell who also did The Red Shoes and Peeping Tom. Going to have to pick this up

Forgot to mention Emeric Pressburger was also director of those films, they worked on them together

 

[here2infirmary]

the name alone makes me want to watch this

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Love the artwork...Old poster stuff...It will fit nicely with the Eureka releases

 

[SilverlakePhil]

I love the Red Shoes & Black Narcissisis, so I'd probably like this one too.

 

[surfury]

All we need now is A Matter of Life & Death, imo one of the best films ever made. (These 2 films were actually issued as a Powell/Pressburger double bill on DVD )

That's a shame. Would have made a nice looking steel.
