Posts from Hondo Duke Lane in thread „Duke's Movies- Blu-Ray/DVD Releases“

Just saw The Quiet Man will be released on Blu-ray on January 22, 2013. Here is the Info on this movie and yes I am excited for the finally release date for this movie. And there is more on the process that will maybe excite you on this release of this movie.

Quote

Newly re-mastered in HD from a 4K SCAN of the ORIGINAL NEGATIVE. John Ford's The Quiet Man celebrates one of Hollywood's most romantic and enduring epics. The first American feature to be filmed in Ireland's picturesque countryside. Ford richly imbued this masterpiece with his love of Ireland and its people. Sean Thornton (John Wayne) in an American boxer who swears off fighting after he accidentally kills an opponent in the ring. Returning to the Irish town of his youth, he purchases the home of his birth and finds happiness when he falls in love with the fiery Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara). But her insistence that Sean conduct his courtship in a proper Irish manner with matchmaker Barry Fitzgerald along for the ride as "chaperone" is but one obstacle to their future happiness: the other is her brother (Victor McLaglen), who spitefully refuses to give his consent to their marriage, or to honor the tradition of paying a dowry to the husband. Sean could care less about dowries, he would've punched out the bullying McLaglen long ago if he hadn't sworn off fighting. But when Mary Kate accuses him of being a coward and walks out on him, Sean is finally ready to take matters into his own hands, the resulting fistfight erupts into the longest brawl ever filmed, followed by one of the most memorable reconciliations in movie history! The Quiet Man won a total of two Academy Awardsr including Best Director (Ford) and Best Cinematography and received five more nomination including Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (McLaglen).

Is this a good thing? Very excited. It is also coming out on DVD.

Don't forget that Rio Grande (1950) is coming out on Blu-Ray on August 7, 2012. That is in 9 days. The second of the three Calvary trilogy on Blu-Ray. A must for the collection that features Maureen O'Hara.

Cheers Hondo

Three movies are coming out on Blu-Ray October 2, 2012. Pretty exciting to see Duke's movies from his "B" movies making it to the Blu-Ray scene. These are the ones coming out.

The Night Riders (1939)

Three Texas Steers (1939)

Red River Range (1938)

Can somebody exsplain to me what they mean by Combo? Does this mean there is a blue ray disc and a regular format disc inside? Or do you bottom line have to have a blue ray machine? ( i'm referring to the Barbarian and the Geisha DVD at Walmarts.)
thanks.

In reference to The Barbarian and the Geisha the combo is two discs, one blu-ray, the other disc is the DVD. As for the format, it really depends on what they include on the discs.

I think it's really cool of them to have both. I have a sister in-law who loves movies and does not have or want a blu-ray player. And I can have that version to watch myself.

Quote from Dooley

Thanks for sharing Hondo,

I've ordered The Big Trail also, had to pay through the nose as Walmart doesn't ship internationally. One of the downsides of being on the other side of the pond!
Hondo is the release I'm really looking forward to.

Dooley

Agreed with that. Looking forward to the release of my namesake.

Cheers Hondo

This film is released on DVD/Blu-Ray. I've seen it at Wal-mart for $12.99. So I included it in my collection. Not a great movie, but it is Duke, so I now have it. I didn't have to buy the box set.

Cheers Hondo

I have been enjoying the BluRay movies out and have expecially enjoyed the ones that have Duke in it. So far we can see John Wayne in The Searchers, Rio Bravo, True Grit, The Commancheros, The Green Berets, Rio Lobo, Big Jake, The Horse Soldiers, How the West was Won, The Longest Day, and Stagecoach (movies released in the US).

Here is my question; If you could pick one movie that you would like to see on BluRay starring John Wayne, what would it be?

And what five movies would you like to see out on BluRay with the Duke in it?

I'll start out by saying that the one movie I'd like to see on BluRay with Duke would be The Quiet Man. And the other four movies would be (no particular order), Red River, The Man who Shot Liberty Valance, McLintock!, and The High & The Mighty.

What are yours?

Cheers Hondo Duke Lane

I purchased The Horse Soldiers on Blu-Ray, and it is great. I can't believe the difference. And I paid only $11.99 for the movie at the local video store. May get some others soon.

Cheers Hondo

Great movies! Can't wait for the blu-ray release of The Quiet Man. Now that will be really fantastic. But I'd like to see as well To Kill A Mockingbird, and It's a Wonderful Life. These are my three favorite movies.

Cheers Hondo

There is also The Green Berets and How the West was Won on Blu-Ray.

Not sure what Paramount is issuing. They seem to hold back. They did that with DVD at the beginning.

Cheers Hondo

Thanks Elly, that was a big help. I think it is confirmed that I am right except to add Cancel My Reservations, another cameo appearance.

Cheers Hondo

According to my list of movies that John Wayne made from 1939 and on that are not out on DVD/Blu-Ray in the Region 1 are:
(Theatrical Release Date)
1. Wheel of Fortune (3/14/1941)
2. Lady from Louisiana (4/22/1941)
3. Lady for a Night (12/29/1941)
4. War of the Wildcats (10/25/1943)
5. I Married a Woman (5/23/1958) cameo appearance
6. The Barbarian and the Geisha (9/30/1958)
7. Circus World (6/24/1964)

Can anyone confirm that these titles are not released yet? I actually have all the others.

Cheers Hondo

Cheers Hondo

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

Got my movies yesterday, and they are great. Haven't seen all of them, but what I have seen will be a great set. Sorry that a lot of you didn't get on the $29.95 special value. Let's keep in touch on the special deals and not miss out again.

Cheers B)

Chester,

I made the order on March 31 and received a discount of $29.95 for the 5 disc set. If you do the figures, that's $5.99 a piece. I guess it was a pre order special. So, like my good buddy Viper said, if you snooze, you loose.

Cheers B)

What are you talking about, Chester? I ordered my DVD from DeepDiscountDVD and payed $29.95 for the box set and not pay any shipping. The only problem is that I haven't gotton the movies yet. I recieved an e-mail confirmation on Tuesday that the movie has been shipped, so I should get it by the weekend if not before.

I haven't seen anything beat that price.

Cheers B)

Are There Any Duke Sites of Any DVD, etc. releases?

There are announcements of two Duke movies on April 28th on DVD. "Big Jake", and "Rio Lobo". It would be great if there was a site for Duke movie releases for our information.
