ME, ELSEWHERE

My name is Kate Gabrielle & this is my classic movie blog. Despite the title, you won't really find many silents here. You will find a lot of posts about films from the 1930's through the 1960's (with an occasional modern movie thrown in for good measure.) Oh and if you like pastel colors and pretty clothing you might want to check out my personal blog, Scathingly Brilliant.

Oh. My. Goodness. SIGN ME UP!
There are so many classics I want released on DVD! But, one that is especially on my mind most of the time is Hide Out! Seriously, it's one of the most stupendously amazingly cool films ever! And it has Robert Montgomery! Things just don't come ANY cooler!!!
There are so many, and the one that comes to mind has been out on DVD, but is currently out of print in the States and Canada. That would be Quadrophenia, one of my favourite movies of all time!
VIVACIOUS LADY
I don't always keep up with what's yet to be released on DVD, but it seems I've searched for films like The African Queen, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and The Magnificent Ambersons and have been shocked not to find them!
I had a classiflix account but had to be thrifty and cancel. Would love to start it up again!
I second "Vivacious Lady"!
There are so many movies I'd love to see on DVD, but "Red Dust" (1932) is at the top of the list. Jean and Clark are so snappy together. Love those pre-codes.

King Vidor's "Wild Oranges" from 1924--one of the best films I've ever seen! You're the best to have a contest like this!
Oh please enter me! I would love to see Bachelor Mother (1939) released on DVD. I would several copies!
Okay, I finally figured out there's a difference between jus leaving a comment and actually following the blog...DUH!
I don't think this will count because this movie is out on DVD but it really, really needs to be restored and then re-released: "Life with Father". Please I so hope they restore it soon! I know it doesn't count but I just had to say it. :)
So I checked on Amazon after leaving that comment and I think it has been restored and released in October! Never mind... :)
First and foremost: THANK. YOU. I had NO idea this was even available and I am tingling all over to check it out!!!
Uh, my moviee would be...oh this is hard! I am going to go with The Great Adventure (1921) with Lionel Barrymore and Doris Rankin. More importantly- there is an uncredited extra who later went by the name Fredric March.
What a fabulous giveaway!!
I still have yet to hook up my dvd player - think I will do that this weekend - LOL!
XOXO
The Enchanted Cottage starring Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire. I love this film.
Cory helped me and we have one, "One way passage". Love William Powell!
You probably don't have an English arm of operations (though we seriously need it over here as our choice of classics on DVD is really limited) however I'd still like to make a suggestion for a film to be released on DVD. Night Must Fall the Robert Montgomery version. Honestly though, I could keep you going for weeks with suggestions.
As many have said before, there are so many movies I'd love to see on DVD, but I think the one that's been on the top of my list for a while is "The Merry Widow" (1952). I stumbled upon it on TCM one night and have been yearning to rewatch it ever since!
Wow this is such a thrilling giveaway!! I could easily second every nomination here. I'm really shocked that Night Must Fall isn't on DVD. That is unbelievable!
Though I shall try to be original, even if predictable with my choice...Sinbad the Sailor (1947)! Luckily for me, lots of DFJ's films have made it to DVD (wow I'd love to see a complete set: "The DFJ Collection"). But Sinbad the Sailor has been left out.
Thank you so much for the amazing giveaway Kate! :D
I would love to be entered!
A film I would like to see on DVD would be any of Gloria Swanson's that arn't yet. I'll go with Manhandled.
ENTER ME! :D
I wish some of Tony Perkins' foreign films were on dvd :( I love him!
