Unreleased Warner Bros Titles

#1 Post by Person » Mon Jun 27, 2005 10:45 am

Jeff's Forthcoming Warner Classics List (No Speculation!) thread should be consulted in relation to this thread. Corrections and additions are most-welcome.

The red titles are generally regarded to be Film Noir, though not all are likely to show up on any future boxed sets, but they could quite easily be released on their own terms.

Such a great idea for a thread!! We should add some more contemporary Warner Classics that haven't seen the light of day. The one that comes to mind is Cronenberg's M. Butterfly. I don't think it's Warner produced but I know they own it now.

The 1941 John Huston version is out, but the above post refers to the 1931 version.

Don't know why the Warner list includes (by my quick count) three cartoon shorts on it, Deduce, You Say, the Scarlet Pumpernickel, and Speedy Gonzales, especially since all three are included in the Golden Collection Vol. 1.

A list of all Warner-owned cartoons not yet on DVD might be useful too, but it would be over a thousand titles.

It looks like maybe the list doesn't include titles produced by First National, which was purchased by Warner in 1929 but continued making pictures using that name, such as Edward G. Robinson pics Two Seconds and Five Star Final.

Monogram Pictures film Dillinger is about to be released by Warner in Film Noir Boxset # 2. IMDB lists Taekwood Video as DVD distributor in U.S. for this title. Who the hell are they? Some of the titles are owned by by Universal (Black Angel), Fox (Fallen Angel), Sony or some PD compay (Enemy of Women).

Let us not forget the Sam Peckinpah classics not out:

Ride the High Country, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (MGM pre-1986)

The Ballad of Cable Hogue (Warner Brothers)

Also, the Wild Bunch needs a major do-over.

These lists were compiled using the IMDb Power Search, searching only for films rated 6.5 - 10 with at least 100 votes, from the sound era to 1995 and films which have no "DVD Details" listed. However, not all films that are available on DVD have their details on the database, which is why a few anomalies appeared on my list. Hopefully, over the coming weeks, months, the lists can be refined and perhaps some 'inconsequntial' titles could be removed for the sake of digestibility.

Which other First National films are missing from the list?

Is Sidney Lumet's, Prince of the City owned by Warner? It was produced by Orion and distributed by Warner on VHS and Laserdisc.

You definitely must add Lindsay Anderson's O Lucky Man! (1973), the second entry in the so-called Mick Travis trilogy with Malcolm McDowell and one of the best British films of its decade. (For that matter, we need to keep annoying Paramount until they release the even better if... -- but that's another thread altogether.)

I definitely think there is a need/demand for another Errol Flynn box with:

Gentleman Jim
Charge of the Light Brigade
Uncertain Glory
Northern Pursuit
Virginia City
Four's a Crowd

Others could be sublimented, but definitely Gentleman Jim and Charge of the Light Brigade!

I'm hoping that if The Outsiders sells well that Warner will at last deside to put out Over the Edge on dvd. It's on of the best and realistic portrayals of teen life in the mid to late 70's that has ever been put on film and needs to be added to the list if you guys feel it should be.

Warner is working on a Peckinpah boxed set, a boxed set of the remaining Tarzan films and "four Humphrey Bogart classics," according to a recent HTF chat.

My Myrna Loy obsession requires that I mention Whipsaw, an MGM production in which Ms. Loy plays a jewel thief (with Spencer Tracy as the detective). This title and Manhattan Melodrama (another William Powell pairing) are probably my most eagerly anticipated of her unannounced work.

To replace my video copies:

Robert Clouse's "Black Belt Jones", and the sequel "Hot Potato". Richard Rush's "Freebie and the Bean". And for curiousity, "Get To Know Your Rabbit".

Of course, the one that really demands it's own thread to be (re?)started is Clouse's former Criterion candidate "Gymkata". How is it that "Forced Vengeance" is available yet this masterpiece sits on the shelf?

Ah, so you didn't forget to include Greed as I first feared! Informative list by the way - so many little curios I'd love to see the light of day!

Hi, Cineslob. Yes, as many of you have probably noticed, there are almost no silent films as the films I searched Warner, MGM and RKO films from 1927-1995. I plan to do a Warner Silent Films thread in the near future, but I'd like to refine the three main sections on this thread first.

I have the same type of lists for Universal (which has some very interesting obscure titles), Paramount, Fox, Columbia.

I also have lists for unreleased-on-DVD films from all major countries in the world (Iceland, Peru, Africa, etc!) and chronilogical lists, genre lists for unreleased horror, sci-fi and Film Noir. But I don't know where to post them here and they need a fair bit of refing, anyway. The Czech list is my favourite, as there are so many interesting Czech films not on DVD; it is staggering.

Thanks for the interest.

Gordon, you might want to cross-reference your thread with this one at HTF. It may have some titles that IMDb didn't come up with.

Thanks, Jeff! I have added quite a few more titles now from the 60s, 70s and 80s now, which is something I wanted to do. A lot of Warner titles are listed solely as "Warner/Seven Arts" on the IMDb, so it didn't pick those up.

Bye Bye Braverman (1968)
Firecreek (1967)
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1968)
Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967)

Stuff like that. I'm amazed that The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter hasn't been released on DVD yet. Great film, awesome performances and a very, very hard film to see these days. I wonder why that is.
