Duke's Movies- Blu-Ray/DVD Releases

Well I don't really have much hope for this myself, but it can't hurt. If you enter TCM's website and go to John Wayne's biography found here:

http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/parti…sp?spid=202933&apid=87147

On the filmography at the far left press the more link you get all his movies listed. Click on any individual film and you can vote on it. This is to help show interest for having it released on DVD. Of course it would mean voting for those not released yet.

Well I voted on a couple and intend to vote on more the coming days. Maybe if we all went in and did this it could help their chances.

Hi Popul,

Thanks for the link and your post

PV, THANKS for the heads up on this opportunity.

They even tell us why we should vote on a title -

Quote

Because we'll routinely send your votes to major Home video distributors responsible for releasing classic movies on to DVD. So go ahead and vote and let your voice be heard!

I just went through and checked out every title I don't have. Quite a few are currently not available, so I voted for those. Some are available, so now I know I can get them if I want them.

Did anybody notice that The Shootist wasn't listed in that filmography? How weird is that?

And what's up with this listing in Duke's filmography?

30, Still Single: Contemplating Suicide (1998) as William--Cafe Patron

The only one on that list that I could think of really wanting that hadn't been "officially" released was Circus World. Not that its a great movie or anything but its another one of those that I remember watchign with my dad while growing up. Would be nice to throw it in once in awhile to reminisce.

Hi,

here in Italy we still wait for the releases on DVD of "The Quiet Man", "Rio Grande" and many more... I just can see it on VHS recorded from tv

I presume you are talking abou subtitled /dubbed versions. It is amazing that they didnt co-ordinate Region 2 version with other languages.

Just going over some of my movie website's that post info on upcoming DVD releases and I come across this that was posted by the guys over at The Digital Bits :

There are some rumors surfacing that MGM will release the complete director's cut of John Wayne's The Alamo (as previously available only on the special edition laserdisc) by mid-2009. This would be a delightful release for the film's devoted fans, so let's hope there's some truth to it, especially if a Blu-ray version is also in the works.

Let's keep our finger's crossed!!!!

Thanks for the update Todd

Hi Mike

I bought I Married A Woman on DVD last month. it was released by the John Wayne Film Society. I got it along with the Glenn campbell show and some of the 3 Mesquiteer series.

Quote from Hondo Duke Lane

That's great Todd. It would be great to see that movie released in its complete from.

Is there any other news of other Duke movies being released? These are the movies that have not been released prior to 1939.

Wheel Of Fortune
Lady From Louisiana
Lady For A Night
War Of The Wildcats
The Barbarian And The Geisha
Circus World
I Married A Woman (a cameo appearance)

I will have all of the movies when these are released.

Cheers Hondo

Hello Hondo
Happily,DVD of "Circus World" and "The Barbarian and The Geisha" has
been already released in Japan. ofcourse I bought them.
I guess these DVD(Region 1)also released in USA.
For me to hope most now is release of "the Wings of Eagles"DVD
(Region2)in Japan early.

Taka

I have merged Todd's thread here,
as to avoid fragmentation.
Not long ago Chester and myself merged all threads
relating to new Duke releases.

Thank's Keith, I tried finding this thread but for some reason I couldn't it. Must of been the time of night that I was looking for it!!!


Mike, there was no mention of any other movie's that I could find at this time.

I believe that region 2 is Japan Mike.

Quote from SXViper

I believe that region 2 is Japan Mike.

SxViper is right.
It explains the region code of DVD to make sure though it is thought what you know.
From Wikipedia, DVD discs may be encoded with a region code restricting the area of the world in which they can be played.
The commercial DVD player specification requires that a player to be sold in a given place not play discs encoded for a different region.
the purpose of this is to allow motion pictures studios to control aspects
of a release,including content,release date,and,especially,price,according to the region.
region code 1s area is U.S. territories,Canada ,Bermuda.
and code 2 's area is Western and central Europe and Japan,U.K. French.
But, about Blu-ray Disc is different.
In region for Blu-ray standard,area of region A is America and East Asia.
Happily Japan and U.S.A. has the same code. waoh,Idon't have Blu-ray disc.

regards.

This is probably old news to all you folks but I just discovered that Paramount is releasing these films as 2 disc editions to celebrate the studio's 100th anniversary. (*Since I am already committed to this, I just decided to post the info on both of them. I apologize for the trouble this may cause.)

I feel like such an idiot.... I checked the posts for each of the movies respective threads and saw nothing. then I checked the General threads and found nothing. But I failed to check the movie reviews board.
Thanks for moving it.

It's no problem.
A few months ago, Chester and I,
scoured all the threads, and found endless
ones, relating to new releases.
We set about merging them all into one 'super-thread'
and of course the best place to place it, was in the Movies
Forum.

Thanks for you post and your support.
