So I let my son watch the original Nightmare on Elm Street

[LouCipherr]

Wait on Alcatraz, supposedly a nice transfer is in the works for the Blu-Gay edition. I always hear that, but am usually disappointed once they come out. Hell, I was excited to see the release of "The Man w/No Name" set, but once it was released all the talk of cropping and not-so-good of a transfer made me re-think that one. I hope they don't do the same for Alcatraz.

The Man with No Name set pissed me off too. I was looking forward to it for MONTHS, and then the reviews came out a few days before release saying that the transfer is pretty bad. I thought about getting it anyway, but in the end decided to stick with my regular dvd's until a proper blu ray release.

Supposedly the italian transfers are the best but they have no english subs, but do have an english soundtrack and they are not region locked.

Where would one pick those up? My interest is piqued. Google fucker!

[bassman]

Normally I would say google as well....but in Lou's defense I just tried, and if you use the word "Italian" along with Leoni, No Name, etc....it just takes you to articles that mention it's an italian film. No dice on the italian cut. Perhaps there's a dvd/br site outside of amazon that you could point me to?

[darth los]

Yeah but he didn't know that cause he didn't even try.

You must have caught him at JUST the right age. A year or two sooner and he may have hated them. Leoni's loooong shots and all. Kids these days would hate it. Interesting you mention that. I got into Clint Eastwood movies around about the 12-14 age range, and I think it was just the right time. They did the Dollars Trilogy on Channel 4 - although annoyingly I missed the 2nd one, but got it on video a little while after - I loved Fistful and that totally got me into westerns *period*, as well as Clint Eastwood flicks. The Good The Bad and The Ugly was fucking immense the first time I saw it and it's just gotten better and better with every viewing. After seeing Fistful for the first time around that age, I did indeed go on a big old Eastwood film viewing sesh for quite a while soaking up as many of his flicks as I could get my mits on - t'was awesome - stuff from all throughout his career. Speaking of Leone - I remember watching Once Upon A Time In The West around the age of 13 or 14 and I thought it was ... okay ... I thought it was too long with not enough happening, so I only saw it the one time. Until the other week when I got it on DVD (when Red Dead Redemption came out - to further the western vibe I was feeling at the time) - anyway, long story short, I really dig Once Upon A Time In The West now - I think it was one of those flicks that I just needed to wait on for a bit more. It's happened a couple of times in the past, actually. Oh hell-to-the-yes - Escape From Alcatraz. I saw that during my formative years in my Eastwood retrospective. It's a great movie, and really quite tense.

Ok, First I'd like to give a hearty "blow me" to Dj & Darth for the google thing. You guys can eat me! Second, Dj, you have no room to talk you mofo - EVERY time I mention something to you be it in IM, email, whatever that you should check something out I get "LINK?" - Do I even need to mention the amount of times I've had to repeatedly upload utilities for you on rapidshare when you reformat your machine and need them because you're too lazy to back them up?! Dj, you just won the prestigeous second-time "EAT ME" award. :finger: lmmfao MZ - I think I saw TG, TB & TU right around the same age. I believe it was my dad who made me sit down and watch it (he was a huge western/clint fan) and boy was I glad I did! Forever got me into Clint and his westerns like a mofo. Yeah, I think Escape from Alcatraz is next. If he liked Clint's western stuff, he'll love Alcatraz. Besides, it's an awesome story in and of itself.

I hope your boy appreciates the time and effort we at HPOTD are putting in in deciding what he should watch.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Il-Buo...-Blu-ray/9130/ I stand corrected, no english audio. My bad!

[bassman]

hrm....it seems to have no reviews or screenshots. Not sure about that. Someone wanna be the guinea pig and let us know how it is?

[LouCipherr]

I stand corrected, no english audio. My bad! You just won the second-time :finger: award for misleading us. hrm....it seems to have no reviews or screenshots. Not sure about that. Someone wanna be the guinea pig and let us know how it is? I vote Dj, since he's a smartass and mislead us in the first place. I hope your boy appreciates the time and effort we at HPOTD are putting in in deciding what he should watch. Believe it or not, he knows about this thread. I've been filling him in on what we've been talking about and he's enjoyed all the movies that have been suggested that we've actually sat down to watch, so even if it's unspoken, I think he does.

Did you show him Escape from NY? Also, you guys buy me the Blu-Ray and I will sit and watch it.

[LouCipherr]

Did you show him Escape from NY? No, actually, I haven't yet - that might be a good one too. A lil' Snake never hurt anyone.
