oh, I do believe

I don’t need to write a letter to Santa Claus this year. I received my Christmas gift already. I could not ask for more.
On March 1, 2005, Warner is releasing the following movies on DVD in the US (aka Region 1): Bringing Up Baby (a two-disc special edition), Dinner at Eight, Libeled Lady, Stage Door, To Be or Not to Be (Lubitsch), and a new two-disc special edition of The Philadelphia Story.

I am all Natalie Wood and Tiny Tim right now. I am suddenly filled with the holiday spirit. I may put up the Barbie tree this weekend.
Next year we’re getting all these lovely movies on DVD plus Harold Lloyd movies plus more Sam Peckinpah and all kinds of other cinematic goodness. I am going to post an entry soon that updates my list of twenty gaps on DVD so you can see just how many of those movies have been released since I wrote it, or are being released soon, and the number of releases is truly gratifying.
Who knows, someday we might even see Holiday on DVD in the US. Not just the 1938 version, but the 1930 one too. “Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to.” Or so they say in the movies.

  1. Longtime reader, first-time writer. Have you ever posted a picture of your Barbie tree? If so, where? If not, how about this year?! Thanks for considering it.

  2. I was beyond excited by the recent DVD release of “That’s Entertainment” for only $39.99. I’m finally getting a DVD player just for watching that.
