Shoulda known...

Ah well, I won't be double dipping, despite this being one of the greatest films ever. I'm just happy I own a copy of the DVD right now. But, for those buying it, let's hope the commentaries are good, and none of that select scene jazz.

Just thought Id put this here as well. They just announced New York, New York and now we got a big Scorsese box set from MGM. It definitely does look like Marty's year, doesnt it?

[Tayzlor]

Sure, I'll double dip it. I only paid twenty bucks for the MGM bare bones and it was brand new. Raging Bull is in my top twenty.

[Sigur509]

Never seen this. Might blind buy.

[brodeurnumber1]

Bought the other Scorcese box set that came out two weeks ago, and will definetly buy this one.

[Patrick Bateman]

Finally! Been waiting on this one for awhile now. Havent seen the film, but confident that it's worth a blind buy.

[Double Down]

I haven't been able to find Raging Bull on DVD so this is great news. Can't wait.

[Tayzlor]

Of all places, I found my copy at an unfinished mall in Dallas in the corner sandwiched between "Mother, Jugs, & Speed" and "Clean Slate".

[bankholdup]

I'm still waiting for this badboy:

But we're not that lucky.

I'll get the next box set one of these days but i'm still dissapointed they havent made a special edition for CASINO :(

Is Casino Scorsese's only Universal production?

[Katsumoto]

there been endless rumors about a casino double disk, but nothing ever is confirmed.

I'm so jacked about both the new Raging Bull and another box set... the more scorsese the better!

In short, Scorsese has worked with Universal not once, not twice, but thrice. But since Im bored, let's examine Scorsese's filmography as owned by the studios:

Who's That Knocking at My Door?- Warner
Boxcar Bertha- U/A (MGM)
Mean Streets- Warner
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore- Warner
Taxi Driver- Columbia
New York, New York- U/A (MGM)
The Last Waltz- U/A (MGM)
Raging Bull- U/A (MGM)
King of Comedy- 20th Century Fox
After Hours- Warner
Color of Money- Touchstone (Disney)
The Last Temptation of Christ- Universal
Goodfellas- Warner
Cape Fear- Universal
Age of Innocence- Columbia
Casino- Universal
Kundun- Touchstone (Disney)
Bringing out the Dead- Paramount
My Voyage to Italy- Miramax (Disney)
Gangs of New York- Miramax (Disney)

So:
Warner owns 5 of Scorsese's films; Alice Doesnt Live Here Anymore, After Hours, Goodfellas, Mean Streets and Who's That Knocking at My Door

Disney (Touchstone/Miramax) owns 4 Scorsese films; My Voyage to Italy, Kundun, Gangs of New York and Color of Money.

UA/MGM also owns 4 Scorsese films; New York, New York, Raging Bull, Boxcar Bertha and the Last Waltz.

Universal owns 3 Scorsese pictures; Last Temptation of Christ, Cape Fear and Casino.

Columbia owns 2 of his films, with Age of Innocence and Taxi Driver

And lastly, Fox and Paramount own 1 apiece with King of Comedy and Bringing out the Dead respectivly.

Scorsese does play around a lot, and has worked with every major studio. Good for him!

You have just made me the happiest man alive. I have waited and waited forever. PRAISE THE LORD !!!

[sharkstank]

jesus christ, i am so ashamed i have NEVER seen this movie
*hangs head*

so i guess its stupid of me to ask if its a good blind buy

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO

[bluesbrother965]

Damn it, I blind bought this movie about a month ago because Netflix didn't have it (why not, I have no idea...) and I'd been dying to see it. This seems to be happening a lot to me lately, I bought Dr. Strangelove, one of my favorite movies, a few months ago and all of a sudden BAM! special 2-disc edition coming out in November or December, can't remember which. It bugs me so much when I end up owning a stripped-down version of a movie when all of a sudden a big special edition comes out, this has also happened with Gone With The Wind and Life Of Brian.

[Troy Zuniga]

First time I rented Raging Bull I watched it THREE times in a row.

The only reason it doesn't make my Top 10 Favorites list is because I accidentally made myself sick of it, what with all that repeated viewing.

I'm thinking I want to buy the DVD thing, but I wonder if I'll ever watch it. I mean, I still remember the movie real well. I'd pretty much be paying for the special features.

What say you, folks? Worth it at least for that?

[optimusprime]

God fucking Dammit! That's good news...

[fevers]

Definitely some of the best news I've heard in a long time.

I haven't been able to find the DVD anywhere, I just keep taking it home from work every weekend or so to watch it.

One of the my favorite movies of all time, and now I will finally own it. Woo!

Delayed until February, according to DVDAnswers.com. :(

Every place I go says Dec. 14, I am not saying your wrong, but I pray to God that you are. Another 6 months will be hard to wait.

[William Munny]

He's right, cheif, and I hate to say it.

Watch out on the same day for an MGM Scorsese collection including Raging Bull, "New York, New York", The Last Waltz, and Boxcar Bertha.
