This needs updating now with The Man With No Name trilogy out on blu-ray.

I've updated Drew Reiber's first post with the Blu-Ray trilogy. If you know of any further updates that need doing, post here or drop me a PM.

Cut scenes from The Good, the Bad & the Ugly have resurfaced!

Maybe those Criterion rumors will start up again.

Has anyone reviewed the new Kino boxset yet?

Interesting comment re: the Film Foundation restoration of Once Upon A Time In America:
"There is supposedly a longer workprint held by someone in the US but the issue is access, not rights. As it stands, LFG /Leone Film Group/ hold zero extra footage edited by Leone."

This is 10 bucks on Amazon right now, and I would say is quite a deal. Mine arrived yesterday and it looks rather magnanimous and worth much more.
