I've been hunting for:
Dark Eyes (Oci ciornie) from 1987 with Marcello Mastroianni
and
A Sunday In the Country from 1984 by Bertrand Travernier
If anyone has any leads.

Really happy about that release and can't wait to see it. I usually wait until they have at least 3 films I want before I place an order with them so here's hoping some other titles become available real soon.Big Magilla wrote:Movie Detective has a superb new DVD release of Compartiment tuers AKA The Sleeping Car Murder from a 2016 restoration with new easy-to-read large English subtitles. At first, I thought the film had no subtitles, but then I hit Subtitles on my remote and voila!
If anything I enjoyed it more now than I did when I first saw it fifty years ago. Costa-Gavras' first film is a great action-filled murder mystery with plenty of comedy to spare. Catherine Allégret gets top billing as the woman in danger, and she's fine, but there are even better performances from her mother Simone Signoret as a fading actress, her stepfather Yves Montand as the lead detective on the case, Jean-Louis Trignant as Signoret's young lover and Jacques Perrin as Allégret's goofy but resourceful boyfriend.
For what it's worth, I recently found The Dark at the Top of the Stairs on-line:Big Magilla wrote:Also still missing:

The Last Summer copy is not amazing (image quality wise) but it's very much watchable.
These are part of my challenge to have the 1150+ films nominated for best picture and acting categories since the first ceremony.
I have around 1050 of them in file format. All of them since 1956 and from the 50's I'm only missing The Bold and the Brave, Trial and Come Fill the Cup.
Chances are it's the US cut version. I'm something of a 'Ken Russell's The Devils' fanatic and have just finally got around to reading Richard Crouse's book on the making of The Devils and all the problems it has faced since titled 'Raising Hell Ken Russell and the Unmaking of The Devils, published in 2012. The books didn't actually tell me anything I didn't already know but lays out it all out in a systematic and concise manner.The Original BJ wrote:The Devils is now available to watch on a horror movie streaming site called Shudder.

That is correct. There have been instances of films being released on DVD with different music than appeared in the theatrical release because they couldn't secure the proper releases. I read somewhere years ago that the holdup on Goodbar had something to do with Boz Scaggs' "Lowdown".Precious Doll wrote: I was reading something about music rights and screenings a couple of months ago which stated that the music rights would have for the most part been negotiated at the same time as the cinema rights. However, as DVD/Blu Ray are newer media formats, that is preventing a number of films from being released though some of them screen regularly on TV networks.
