Well, the 10 winners have been announced, and they are:

The Illustrated Man
Operation Crossbow
Presenting Lily Mars
There Was a Crooked Man
Up Periscope
The Arrangement
Band of Angels
Gymkata
Looker
Madame Curie

Five of these titles will be released in December, the other five in January. In addition, Warner & Amazon are partnering together to release Angels in the Outfield and Best Foot Forward exclusively through Amazon, so hopefully that will be a precursor to a widespread national release for those two films as well. You can check out all the details at:

Once again I'm going to say the "Off Topic Discussions" forum is too cluttered, this thing was already shoved way down on page 3.

Anyways, Friday is the last day to vote, so if you haven't done so yet I'd recommend heading over there and voting right away.

If you go to:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/brows...9619002-9490357

you can vote for future DVD releases from Warner Bros. Out of the 30 titles listed, the top 10 vote-getters will be released to DVD. No Duke titles, but some of these films are pretty good. I've always liked the 1951 version of Angels in the Outfield with Janet Leigh and Paul Douglas - it's much better then the Disney re-make from the 90's. The 1957 film Band of Angels (starring Clark Gable and Sidney Poitier in their only film together) is pretty good. So is Bhowani Junction (1956), starring Ava Gardner and Stewart Granger. Glenn Ford's 1960 Cimarron re-make is also quite good.

Happy voting,

E.J.
