So, January is the month of the Hollywood Classic Romance on Steelbook? Really happy!

I'll pass on all of these....this is steelbook overdrive! 2013 will be the year everything will be released in steelbooks by the sound of things. Gotta start being very selective with what I'm going to buy especially with so many titles that will now be released in steelbooks.

Is this going to be the new print used on the recent US giftset release, or the print used on the original UK release?

I'm hoping that the March 2013 fully restored 1958 Dracula gets the full steelbook treatment. Now that would be amazing....

I don't know, I never liked Casablanca and never understood the hype for it. Maybe I'm not old enough.

 

[Jango]

this wave is so awesome

I'll just wait cover art first, then I'll decide to buy it or not

I already have pretty much every DVD release, and the Blu-ray coffin set but I say, dammit Universal, take my money.

Oh, and Frankenstein while you're at it.

Edited to add, sorry I read that as the 1931. Still, the Hammer version would be amazing too (assuming it's better than their Curse of Frankenstein release and not tinkered with like The Devil Rides Out).

Definitely a SB to buy... My favorite movie of all time.

Has that been confirmed for a March 2013 release then? If so, I'd get my fangs into that one too. XD

My thoughts exactly. Seems everything is getting the steelbook treatment. And unfortunately, not the films I would like....Dirty Harry, Get Carter, City of God, Usual Suspects, Taxi Driver, The Third Man......I could go on!

Will just be cherry-picking from now on......

You just can't please some. Most of these titles are what most people would define as 'classics' and only one has been released previously in Steelbook form and yet people are still moaning. I'm just happy that Warner aren't recycling some of their Canadian releases on us like they did with their USA wave. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion I just think that mine is the right one

Hahaha........so is mine

 

[spartan]

It is brilliant idea about these releases, expecially this one. Can't wait to see cover artworks

Yep fully restored with the famous missing japanese footage for March 2012. Confirmed.

Sweeeet. :3 Steel or not, I'll be getting that for sure.

As for Casablanca, funny enough enough I have the DVD in my "To Watch" pile. XD Think I'll give that one a watch soon before I consider the Steel.

 

[WKRP]

The box set just arrived today. Oh well, guess I'm "stuck" with that.

 

[grow]

I have Casablanca on DVD and although it's not my most favourite of movies it is a real classic piece of cinema. I had been thinking about one of the fancy blu ray box sets in the USA, but I will wait and if this is a good price I'll certainly buy it.

 

[cyberef]

Very nice, more classics!
