Would you like to know which ten titles won and will be released later this year?
Title: Warner DVD Decision 2006
Starring: Various
SRP: $19.97
Further Details:
DVD Decision 2006 was a joint promotion from Warner Home Video and Amazon.com in which movie fans were able to vote online for 30 catalog candidates from the Warner Bros. Studios library of which 10 will be released on DVD. Voting occurred at Amazon.com during the month of June 2006, and film fans voted for their favorite action & adventure, comedy & musical, or drama films. We've listed the 10 winners below, which will be released in two waves. The first half of the discs will be available on the 19th of December while the second half will be released on the 30th of January next year, and all with a retail price of right around $19.97 each. While 10 of the 30 titles will be released to all retailers, there will in fact be 12 released in total with two discs exclusive to Amazon.com. Details are very early on this one, but we do know that each film will be remastered for its DVD release and that some of the discs will contain extras. We have an early look at the artwork for each title below (with the exception of There Was A Crooked Man...) along with its date of release and any announced extras. Stay tuned for details on additional extras as they comes in and the high resolution artwork.

What a bunch of yawn material, except angels in the outfeild.
I'm underwhelmed to say the least.
Yes, Gymkata made it!! The skill of gymnasitcs, the kill of karate!
I'm glad the long overdue "Looker" is finally coming out, but I'm disappointed Oliver Stone's "The Hand" (1981) with Michael Caine isn't.
Now where are those Kubrick DVDs Warner promised?
I have waited and hoped for Gymkata for sometime.
Yakmala!
Yakmala!
There Was A Crooked Man..., starring Kirk Douglas, is the 12th film that will be released. We should have a look at the artwork shortly.
I was kind of hoping for The Hand myself, Chaz, but I'm thrilled that both Looker and The Illustrated Man will be released.

Hopefully Looker will be the extended cut TV ran or at least have the deleted scenes as extras, are you listening Warner?
Wow, I'm disappointed. I've only headrs of three of these title; being Angels in the outfield, Looker, and the arrangement. I won't get any.
Where is The Prize (1963)??
Who owns Four Flies on Grey Velvet? Is that Warner or MGM?
Illustrated Man was my favorite book as a kid. Never have seen the flick.

I think that Paramount actually does, Gabe, though I'm not 100% sure of that.

They all look pretty boring to me. Won't be getting any of these.
I'm still waiting for a dvd release of Twilight Zone: The Movie...I really need to replace my vhs edition! It may be insensitive but they should include a making of and have some documentation of production troubles with vic morrow's death on set. Its only wishful thinking for now! I would just be happy to have the movie!
If MGM/Sony did something like that, maybe we would finally get some Sergio Leone Special Edition releases in the US.

All bets are off since Fox took over distributing MGM titles from Sony. There have been a number of announced or rumored releases that have either been cancelled or postponed and not re-announced as of yet.

Good lookin' classics, and just import the Leone releases, I did 
I finally imported them. They are worth every penny.
You've got to be kidding me. Still no Straight Time? It's only one of the most underrated films of the 1970s and one of Dustin Hoffman's greatest roles. These films are underwhelming to say the least.

It is rumoured to finally be in actual production for release; it was announced on Spielberg's site.

I have been patiently waiting for "Looker" for years. I too hope it is the extended version that was shown during the late 80's and early 90's. Or at least the DVD is of the 'special edition' variety. Also, what happened to "The Prize"??? Paul Newman is our most cherished living actor - you would think they would get ALL of his classic titles out on DVD. The man is an american icon.
I really wanted MIKE'S MURDER. :-(
GYMKATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Specs added for select discs...
Gym-freakin-kata!
I cannot believe this.....
Variety is reporting that a studio is in the process of doing a reported $200 MILLION dollar sequel to 'Gymkata'. The working title is "Welcome Back, Gym Kata".
John Travolta has already signed to star in the lead as Binny Varbarino, a ninja and ex-gymnastics superstar who infiltrates James Buchanan High School, which is taken over by a cult called the "Sweat Hogs". Gabe Kaplan will be the supporting actor.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin earlier this year in Brooklyn, NY.
Took that from IMDB. But it's a joke...funny though.
