You found a new version of these released this year??? Subbed (not dubbed)??? Where? Link me up please!!! I've had a really shitty looking copy of The Tai-Chi Master for a few years that I got at some cheap Chinese store cause the only alternative was that horrible hacked up dub by Dimension...I'd love a proper DVD version of it...

The Weinstein Co., through their Dragon Dynasty label will be releasing a subbed 2-Disc version of "Tai Chi Master" this October and this December will release a subbed 2-Disc version of "Fist of Legend". :cool:

[MisterChristian]

anticipating the 10th Anniversary DVD of L.A. Confidential - hopefully it will get an HD-DVD release. Also, the Dirty Harry films :D

[m_burlock]

I knew everybody'd have their own list for this year. I know that taste in movies is very subjective. Provide your own list of movies (If you want to.) that have been or will be released on DVD in '07 that you are or were really looking forward to and maybe have been waiting for for years, the top releases. It just seemed to me that (based on my memory) that this year there'll be more coveted releases than in any recent year(s) IMHO. Also, I know that when it comes to some of the titles on my list that there are people out there (probably a minority here) who are now really looking forward to them and have wanted them on R1 DVD for years. I just thought I'd "share the" info. and "love". Just my 2 cents.

[powersauce]

As far as non 2007 theatricals go, even though no exact date is set yet and it may be next year, I'm thrilled that Warner is putting out SEs of Beetlejuice and LA Confidential. If Burton and/or Keaton do commentary on the former then I'll definitely double dip without hesitation.

[Cronos]

The Burning
From Beyond
The Films Of Alejandro Jodorowsky
Blade Runner
Lizard in a Woman's Skin

According to tarantino.info multiple websites that sell DVD's are taking pre-orders for and word of mouth says a 4-Disc and rated NC-17 Kill Bill will be released in Region 1 on Sept.18th 2007. That's all I know. Sorry.

Ahhhh 2007...

My Top 10 picks for last year!


10. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (And its Store Exclusives)

*during its release date.. it held the record for most store exclusive offers...

Im just happy for these:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/FF43.jpg


9. SpiderMan 3

Actually I was just MINDBLOWN with the size of the T.W.E.C. Exclusives (each limited to 5000).. the biggest boxset for an R1 Single Movie Release

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/SD_FYE5.jpg


8. Ghostrider

For such a mediocre comicbook movie, most stores pour in its superb exclusive offers! and it didnt end there, the last quarter of 2007, Sony even rerelease a big boxset for it!

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/GRIDER.jpg


7. Blade Runner Ultimate Collection (Briefcase)

I may not have the DVD set (and resulted in obtaining the Blu Ray Edition).. nevertheless, the craze for its #d piece became a major buzz to DVD collectors in closing the 2007 Year!

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/BR_BR2.jpg


6. SAW Series

Finally a Boxset to complement the most widely re-released DVD version (given that its on it 4th installment in home release for year 2008)

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/saws-1.jpg

[xage]

5. Evil Dead -

Being a Veteran for a decade now in DVD format.. Anchorbay and the Deadites still have the "IN" thing with their variants! Ultimate Evil Dead Rocks!

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/ED_UE00.jpg

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/ed_ALL3.jpg


4. Transformers

The heck with the Oscars.. the DVD release sure packed a bunch of awesome exclusive sets! Especially the amazing jampacked BESTBUY CANADA BOXSET! and the 1st ever Transforming DVD package (Thanks Target! & HMV Canada)

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/TF_1.jpg


3. Scanovo's Golden Touch to Steelbook Exclusives in North America!

Need I say more? Almost every Steelbook out there in R1 format (especially the exclusives) turned into a precious goldmine! Futureshop of Canada became an instant cult due to it! hehehe

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/STEELBOOK_Z.jpg


2. Halloween Unrated

Rob Zombie's remake.. Yeah Yeah its a remake and Rob Zombie directed it... We have the Lenticular Bestbuy Exclusive and the 3disc Circuit City Exclusive and thats it...

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/H27.jpg

Oh WAIT!... What the??? HotTopic stores snucked in a few "AUTHENTIC AUTOGRAPHED by Rob Zombie" releases which reportedly "limited to" or "less than" 2,000. And the demand in the market soared as high as $400 to get one?

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/H_AUTO2.jpg



And my #1


1. 300

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/300_all.jpg

It started with a ROAR back in Feb. 2007 with its Bestbuy Preview & Movie Ticket

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/300_01.jpg

And wage into major WAR back in July 31st (Where almost ALL Bestbuy stores went into a SOLD OUT Frenzy before noontime with its Spartan Helmet Giftset)

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/300_bestbuy.jpg

And it did not end there.. Probably one of the RAREST Giftset (#d out of 4,000) was unveiled at a $50 tagprice at Last Year's Comic Con (The very first Exclusive Set in an EVENT and not instore) * to this date.. auction bidders reach as high as $100+ to get one!
