Let's play with a thought here...

You've just recieved a healthy amount of money from a deceased uncle/aunt/grandfather (whatever floats your goat) and through a special deal, you've been given the opportunity of releasing a feature, a 2x400 digest, and a 200' digest of your choice, one of each. You can release whatever you want, one of each size, three different titles. What would you choose?

Personally, it would be (at the moment that is):

200' - Dinner for One (1963)
2x400' - The Princess and the Frog (2009) or Up (2009)
Feature - Up (2009) or The Boondock Saints (1999)

--------------------
Well who’s on first? Yeah. Go ahead and tell me. Who. The guy on first. Who. The guy playin’ first base. Who. The guy on first. Who is on first! What are you askin’ me for? I’m askin’ you!

OOh fun..mine would be

200' - Sorrows of the Unfaithful (1910) one of the very few early Griffith/Pickford films where she is very much an adult character. I believe this was released on 16mm prior..

2 x 400' - De Luxe Annie (1918) - The LOC recently restored this Roland West film with Norma Talmadge and it looks gorgeous.

Feature - WINGS (1927)..yeah, yeah it has been released, but with all of my money I would finally finish the restoration, by adding the tints and hand colored sections and have it beautifully scored along with the original sound effects..PLUS I would have it released in a scope format so that it could include the proper magnavision extensions for the aerial fight scenes...It would be glorious and would finally give that film the treatment it deserves, and it would blow peoples minds who are on the fence in terms of silent films....AND maybe then someone might decide to release something, anything new in the way of silent film releases. I wonder when the last one was released?

Dino,
Have you seen the Brownlow/Photoplay restoration of WINGS?
Beautiful. To have that on 16mm would be gorgeous.

About me...

A FANTASTIC scope edition of REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, to start.

And then, as already stated in other posts, RATATOUILLE, Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA and Tornatore's NUOVO CINEMA PARADISO. All full features. It would be great.
Dreaming is good, anyway... [Wink]

If my imaginary super 8 company could release anything, it would probably be these:

200ft - RONIN (a nice spectacular car chase sequence)
2x400ft - TIM BURTON'S NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Full Feature - IRON MAN or BARRY LYNDON (if I wasn't too bothered about selling many copies).

Problem is I'll have completely changed my mind by tomorrow!

200ft : "Take Off With Us" extract from Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz"

Instead of releasing a two parter, I'd rather get two different titles out, namely:
- Michael Jackon's "Thriller"
- "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" (opening reel from "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life")

Feature :
- The Nightmare Before Christmas

2 X 400'- The Shining (Kubrick)
Feature- Eraserhead (Lynch)

Dreams can come true!

Nice one Oscar, I'd forgotten about Batman, or even Batman Returns. While we're still dreaming about features what about Ghostbusters or the new Star Trek? The list could go on and on...

Come on, Jeroen...

Remember this:
-

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true...

Want me to add a song for you too, Keith [Big Grin] ???
Oh well, take this:

Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life (larger than life...)

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there is someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

Just try to tell me what movie I'm thinking about... Well, I could say 'movies' (but we all know SHREK - 1/2/3 - is far away to come true, I'm afraid [Wink] ).

But, ops, this is your whised movies post, not mine. Sorry!
