Forbidden Planet
Lost in Space
Mars Attacks!
Rush Hour

and one week later:

THX 1138 and
Timecop

To clarify, the Timecop Blu-Ray will only be available by Warner in the UK as Timecop was released/owned by Universal in the US.

That's why recent updates of films and shows such as Star Wars and Star Trek (and to a lesser extent The Exorcist "version you've never seen" and Blade Runner "Final Cut") make me feel ill. It's tantamount to historical revisionism.
I'll take this even further. Once art goes out to the masses, it belongs to the people. If the Friedkins and Lucases of the world weren't such arrogant asses they'd remember that their careers were built on the original cuts of these films--and that they owe a debt to the public that supported them.

They're obviously entitled to tinker around if they want. And I don't begrudge them for trying to milk a few extra bucks out of their fans by releasing alternate cuts. But regardless of how enamored they might be about their revisions, they don't have the right to pull back the original versions of beloved films for selfish reasons.

Forbidden Planet and Mars Attacks! on the same day? My prayers truly have been answered. Exorcist I will have to wait and see on.

KamuiX,

I've just seen your post on this rather ancient thread and visited your site... it's fantastic, congratulations!! Currently working my way through the reviews and already ordered 3 DVDs of films I'd almost forgotten.

Maintaining a site like that must take a lot of hard work which I really appreciate.

Cheers
