Description

Fun City Editions is a new boutique label focused on creating deluxe home video editions of maverick repertory cinema that can best be described as works that exist "outside of their time." Johnny (Vincent Spano, Baby It's You and Over the Edge) controls the drug trade in New York's rough Alphabet City neighborhood - as long as his mob bosses let him. But, when he refuses to follow orders to torch the tenement building he grew up in, Johnny puts himself and his loved ones in their unforgiving crosshairs. No Wave filmmaker Amos Poe's (The Blank Generation and Subway Riders) neo-noir cult favorite oozes '80s neon-lit, punk-tinged style. The innovative and vividly colorful visuals spring from the lens of cinematographer Oliver Wood (TV's Miami Vice, The Honeymoon Killers and Face/Off). Chic co-founder and dance music legend Nile Rodgers' supremely catchy synth-pop score propels the action. The cast of rising and veteran talents includes Kate Vernon (Pretty in Pink), Jami Gertz (Less Than Zero and The Lost Boys), Michael Winslow (the Police Academy series), Kenny Marino (Prince of the City and Death Wish 3) and Zohra Lampert (Let's Scare Jessica to Death and Splendor in the Grass). Restored and available on Blu-ray for the first time, Alphabet City is an evocative cinematic snapshot of a New York City that has long since vanished. Bonus Features: 1. Region A Blu-ray 2.

Product Description THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF DUDDY KRAVITZ IN EVERYONE. Richard Dreyfuss is an irresistible young Jewish man in 1948 Montreal. He's driven by an insatiable desire to be a "somebody" and he somehow works his way into our hearts even as he cheats and schemes and connives to buy a large parcel of land. He uses the girl who loves him, he forges checks, he lies... and he is enormously proud of himself because of it. Those around him are tremendously disgusted. We are torn. There's a little bit of Duddy Kravitz in everyone. SPECIAL FEATURES: Audio commentary by Adam Nayman Limited edition slipcover with rarely-seen vintage artwork Booklet with a new essay by Nathan Holmes Review The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz' is the funny, fantastic and often moving story of Duddy's adventures as he desperately tries to establish himself as a comer. An alternately sad and hilarious movie of dreams rampant. --Vincent Canby , The New York Times A movie that somehow manages to be breakneck and curiously touching at the same time. It's a story of ambition and greed, with a hero that will stop at almost nothing. And yet we like Duddy, with a kind of exasperation, because we get some notion of the hungers that drive him, and because nobody suffers at his hands more than he does himself. --Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Jill's headed for college. Sheik's a drop-out, headed for nowhere. They're as different as day and night, but share a powerful bond: first love. "There's the first one. There's the right one. And there's the one you never forget." Jill's a drama major, headed for college. Sheik's a drop-out, headed for nowhere. They're as different as day and night, but they share a powerful bond: first love. Rosanna Arquette (Desperately Seeking Susan), Vincent Spano (Over the Edge) and co-stars Tracy Pollan (Bright Lights, Big City), Matthew Modine (Birdy) and Robert Downey Jr. (Zodiac) team up in this memorable comedy-drama from filmmaker John Sayles (The Brother from Another Planet and The Return of the Secaucus Seven). Set against a '60s backdrop and an unbeatable soundtrack of classic rock and roll tunes, Baby It's You crafts a vivid portrait of young love in a complex era. But no matter when you went to school or first fell in love, Baby It's You is for you! Working from an autobiographical story by producer Amy Robinson (Chilly Scenes of Winter and After Hours), Sayles approaches the material with an eye towards documentary-like realism and detail, so that this universal tale comes across with rare truth, poignancy and relatability. Made almost entirely in the Garden State, the film's hit-filled soundtrack is given a major shot in the arm via several songs by New Jersey's pre-eminent rock poet Bruce Springsteen and Hoboken-born Frank Sinatra. Boasting cinematography by renowned DP Michael Ballhaus (Goodfellas and The Marriage of Maria Braun), Baby It's You has been remastered from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative for this Blu-ray.

Description

This tale of friendship and survival set during the days of the 1860s focuses on a roguish group of runaways living by their wits and natural instincts. Two of them in particular are complimentary opposites: Drew (Barry Brown, Daisy Miller) is a good boy from God-fearing stock in Ohio, out west to evade the draft. Jake (Jeff Bridges, Rancho Deluxe) is a scruffy scoundrel--a saddle tramp not above a little larceny here and there. Along the trail they encounter a variety of varmints and renegades. And eventually, they find themselves--older and wiser for the journey and friendship. Sensitively and realistically filmed. Years before their famous pairing as the two Jeff Lebowskis in The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges and David Huddleston were adversaries in Robert Benton's "acid western" Bad Company. Co-starring alongside Bridges, Huddleston and Brown are Jim Davis (TV's Dallas), John Savage (The Deer Hunter), Jerry Houser (Slap Shot), Geoffrey Lewis (Thunderbolt and Lightfoot) and Ed Lauter (The Last American Hero). The screenplay is by Benton and David Newman, who earlier collaborated on Bonnie and Clyde. Shot on location in Kansas by famed cinematographer Gordon Willis (the Godfather films), the film has been restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative and comes to Blu-ray for the first time/ SPECIAL FEATURES: Audio commentary by Walter Chaw English subtitles Radio spots Image gallery Theatrical trailer Double-sided wrap with legacy artwork

The barmaid, played by Berto, has been trying to take care of Bobby, a teenage drug pusher who is in over his head. Before she can put him back on track and get him out of the drug underworld, the young man is killed while being chased by a narcotics agent. Depressed by his death but not derailed, she finds herself trying to help out a gay user who depended on Bobby for his supply of drugs. She decides to procure some drugs for the desperate addict, and is trapped in the bathroom of a bar - with the drugs - when narcotics agents burst upon the scene. Her boyfriend rushes to help her but is killed by an agent who shoots first and thinks later. The barmaid does not face a very optimistic future as the narc arrests her - but releases a parish minister who had been helping her find a source for the drugs. THE BITCH (LA GARCE): One evening, Police Detective Lucien Sabatier (Richard Berry) picks up seventeen-year-old Aline (Isabelle Hupert) on the road and assaults her. The following day, the teenager reports the offence. Sabatier is arrested and sentenced to six years in prison.

SHE SAID NO… AND SHE MEANT IT! Kathleen Sullivan has been raped at gunpoint. Now she plans her revenge! Having left Boston to start a new job in Dallas, Kathleen Sullivan soon makes friends and begins to enjoy her new life. Larry Keeler is immediately attracted to Kathleen, but Kathleen makes it clear she would rather have a friend than a boyfriend. At the end of one date, Kathleen gives Larry a peck on the cheek and dashes into her apartment, leaving Larry confused and angry. On the next date, however, Larry is determined to get what he wants--at gunpoint. The tables start to turn when Kathleen joins a local gun club and buys her own gun. Now she becomes the hunter--on a vengeful mission. Producer, writer and director Tony Garnett (Prostitute) was fascinated and troubled by the proliferation and celebration of firearms in the United States. So, he traveled from his native England to Texas to make a dramatic film that would explore the widespread availability of guns there and the accompanying potential for deadly violence. The result was the hard-hitting Deep in the Heart (released in the U.K. as Handgun). Restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative for its worldwide Blu-ray premiere, the film boldly examines issues that continue to torment American society over forty years later.

Frank and Molly meet first by chance and later by choice. There's one thing standing between their intense, newfound love--both are already married. Sometimes magic is the only thing that's real. Falling in Love is a shining example of the magic that's created when two of Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars join forces in one special film. Academy Award Winners Robert De Niro (The King of Comedy) and Meryl Streep (Silkwood) are together again for the first time since The Deer Hunter. In Falling in Love, they play Frank Raftis and Molly Gilmore, two everyday people who meet first by chance, and later by choice. There's just one thing standing between Frank and Molly's intense, newfound love--both are already married. It's a genuine modern dilemma, and De Niro, Streep and a fine supporting cast bring the story to life with flair and sensitivity. Director Ulu Grosbard's (Straight Time) understated, star-driven romantic drama is as much a showcase for New York City during the holiday season, as it is for the undeniable chemistry between its two iconic, legendary leads. Originally titled The Rizzoli Affair by screenwriter and playwright Michael Cristofer (The Shadow Box), the film is set entirely in the New York metropolitan area and portrays the city's environs and people with care and authenticity. Locations range from the famed Rizzoli Bookstore to Grand Central Station to the Westchester suburbs served by the Metro-North Railroad. Harvey Keitel (Blue Collar), Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters), David Clennon (The Thing), Jane Kaczmarek (TV's Malcolm in the Middle) and George Martin (Crossing Delancey) co-star. Scored by New York film music maestro Dave Grusin (Three Days of the Condor), with production design by Santo Loquasto (Desperately Seeking Susan) and shot by Peter Suschitzky (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), Falling in Love has been remastered from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative for this worldwide Blu-ray premiere.

Description

Los Angeles painter Arthur Blue (Peter Coyote, E.T. and Bitter Moon) and businessman Eli Kahn (Nick Mancuso, Ticket to Heaven and Nightwing) are the best of friends, commiserating and competing always, whether on the racquetball court or in the singles bar. When Blue's long-term girlfriend Cyd (Kathryn Harrold, Modern Romance and The Sender) leaves him for a more successful artist (Barney Miller's Max Gail) and Eli's father (George Morfogen, They All Laughed and V) passes away, they each fall for a beguiling French art gallery manager (Carole Laure, Sweet Movie and Get Out Your Handkerchiefs), and their fragmented bromance enters crisis mode. The late Carol Wayne (The Tonight Show and Surf II) co-stars and leaves a lasting impression as Blue's sad artistic muse and sometime lover. Filmmaker Bobby Roth (The Boss' Son and Circle of Power/Brainwash) based his screenplay on his experiences growing up and working in Los Angeles, and the film reflects his insider's view of the city and deep personal connection to the characters. Although filmed in Hollywood, Heartbreakers refreshingly and effectively evokes the mood of European relationship dramas. To this end, the film employs two of Germany's most revered exports to world cinema: director of photography Michael Ballhaus (the longtime cinematographer for Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Martin Scorsese) and pioneering electronic musicians Tangerine Dream (Sorcerer, Thief and Risky Business), who contribute one of their most emotional and evocative scores. Out of print on home video since the tape era, this critically-acclaimed festival favorite has been restored in 2K from its original 35mm interpositive and is poised to wow and surprise audiences anew.

At first glance, it looks as if Rick Carlson (Sam Elliott, Tombstone and The Big Lebowski) has it made. He's bright and good-looking. He's also the lifeguard on a stretch of California beach that has more than its fair share of tanned bodies and beautiful girls. But Rick is at the crossroads of his life. His friends and family are pushing him to get a real job but, at this point, Rick's not so sure what real is. It's an agonizing decision compounded on one side by an adoring beach groupie (Kathleen Quinlan, Apollo 13) and on the other side by a former high school flame (Anne Archer, Fatal Attraction) who's game for rekindling, but only if he's serious about trading in his swimsuits for three-piecers. Elliott drew waves of accolades for his sensitive and sexy portrayal of the aging title character who's compelled to reassess his life and career. Director Daniel Petrie's (Buster and Billie) picture is an introspective character piece whose protagonist struggles against societal norms in order to hold onto his sense of self and find personal fulfillment. The script by first-time writer Ron Koslow (Firstborn), is based on his experiences as a California lifeguard. The musical voice of so many '70s dramas, Paul Williams (Phantom of the Paradise) contributes the aptly-titled Time and Tide to the film's soundtrack. Filmed in picturesque, all-American Southern California locales by DP Ralph Woolsey (Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins), Lifeguard has been remastered from a 4K scan of its original camera negative for this first-ever Blu-ray release.

Samantha Morton (Minority Report and TV's The Walking Dead) is mesmerizing and "gives the female performance of the year" (San Francisco Examiner) as the enigmatic Morvern Callar, in filmmaker Lynne Ramsay's (Ratcatcher and We Need to Talk About Kevin) highly acclaimed and remarkably assured second feature, based on Alan Warner's lauded debut novel. When Morvern Callar wakes up one Christmas morning to discover her boyfriend dead by suicide, it's the start of an unpredictable and unconventional process of self-transformation. Morvern's form of grieving will be bewildering and shocking to most. She keeps her boyfriend's death a secret. She passes off his just-finished novel as her own to publishers. She goes on holiday to Spain. Equal parts road movie and character study, Morvern Callar is as gripping and beautiful as it is dark and inscrutable. The ever-present and extraordinary soundtrack―stemming from a mixtape made for Morvern by her boyfriend, and including songs by Can, the Velvet Underground, Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Nancy & Lee and more―is masterfully and audaciously woven into the narrative, acting as a voice for a protagonist who often chooses to remain silent. The film's contrasting two main environments―cold, grey Scotland and arid, sunny southern Spain―are gorgeously captured by cinematographer Alwin Küchler (Ratcatcher and Steve Jobs).

Description

What causes a man who seemingly has everything ― a thriving business and family ― to snap and throw it all away? It's the question that this provocative and intelligent psychological drama investigates. Successful New York magazine publisher Paul Steward (Hal Holbrook, The Fog and All the President's Men) has reached his breaking point and today is the day he has decided to kill himself, his wife and their children. His marriage to Miriam (Louise Fletcher, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Strange Behavior) has grown cold and distant. On this final day, he seeks the answers that might relieve him of his despair, through encounters with a psychiatrist (Viveca Lindfors, Creepshow and Dark City), an astronaut, a friend who survived the Holocaust (Jose Ferrer, Dune and Lawrence of Arabia), five prostitutes in a brothel and a lonely woman on the train ride home... Writer, director and editor Jeff Kanew (Revenge of the Nerds and Troop Beverly Hills) established himself in Hollywood as one of the industry's most sought-after trailer editors of the 1960s and '70s. Having become a leader in that field, he adapted Julius Horwitz's controversial novel Natural Enemies for himself to direct. The result is a blistering and devastating work that recalls Taxi Driver, and which shocked audiences and critics when it was first released in 1979. Having been out of circulation for nearly four decades, this worldwide Blu-ray premiere has been sourced from the best-surviving element, a 35mm deposit print held by the Library of Congress.

Product Description SASSY, SAVVY, AND DEFINITELY CLUED-IN! What's a fast-talking, under-employed New York free spirit to do when she's jailed for throwing an illegal house party? Mary (Parker Posey, Dazed and Confused and The House of Yes) cajoles her librarian godmother (Sasha von Scherler, Network) into bailing her out and giving her a job as a clerk at the public library. What follows is Mary's screwball-like journey from a life of late nights and hangovers to romance with a falafel vendor (Omar Townsend) and a potential long-term career as a librarian. Daisy von Scherler Mayer's (Madeline) ‘Party Girl’ is a charming and energetic throwback to '30s and '40s comedies, set amidst the thriving and vibrant club culture of '90s Lower Manhattan. Parker Posey became "the new queen of the art house" (Michael Musto, Vanity Fair) with her hilarious and captivating lead performance in what has become one of the most iconic characters and films of the '90s indie filmmaking boom. Supporting her are Guillermo Diaz (Scandal), Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), Donna Mitchell (The Ice Storm) and Anthony DeSando (Kiss Me, Guido). In addition to its witty and quotable screenplay by von Scherler Mayer and Harry Birckmayer, ‘Party Girl’ is rightfully beloved for its stacked soundtrack, which includes Tom Tom Club, Run-DMC, Deee-lite, Carl Craig and Ultra-Naté, as well as Mary's stacked wardrobe, which includes pieces by Vivienne Westwood, Todd Oldham, Jean Paul Gaultier and Chanel. ’Party Girl’ had its finger on the pulse when released in 1995 and, decades later, it's revered as a loving and effervescent cinematic record of a very special time and place in New York City's history. Previously only available in aged standard definition masters, Party Girl has now been restored in 4K from its original 16mm camera negative.

It was 1943. And young men were counting the days before they went off to war... Artfully directed by Richard Benjamin (My Favorite Year), Racing with the Moon is a film so tender, so insightful, so full of heart that you'll never quite forget it. This is the story of Henry Hopper Nash (Sean Penn, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and his buddy Nicky (Nicolas Cage, Valley Girl) enjoying their last boyish exploits before they enter the Marines. Elizabeth McGovern (Ordinary People) portrays Penn's mysterious girlfriend. What ensues is a sensitive, bittersweet tale of lost innocence and the trauma of growing up too fast. The result is a magic moment, brilliantly captured within the emotional crosscurrent of America's most dramatic time. Critically-acclaimed upon its 1984 release and starring three of the brightest acting talents to emerge in that decade, Racing with the Moon, in spite of this, remains a hidden gem. Director Benjamin and his esteemed collaborators--cinematographer John Bailey (American Gigolo), ​costume designer Patricia Norris (Days of Heaven), production designer David L. Snyder (Blade Runner), set decorators Jerry Wunderlich (The Exorcist) and Jeannine Oppewall (L.A. Confidential) and composer Dave Grusin (My Bodyguard)--pooled their considerable skills to convincingly turn back the clock to the early 1940s in order to bring Steve Kloves's (The Fabulous Baker Boys) debut script to life. Set in gorgeous Northern California coastal environs, Racing with the Moon has been remastered from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative for this worldwide Blu-ray debut.

Bridges (Starman and The Big Lebowski) and Sam Waterston (The Killing Fields and TV’s Law & Order) are a pair of hippie cattle rustlers who draw the ire of a wealthy Montana ranch owner (Clifton James, Live and Let Die and Superman II) in this wild and unpredictable acid western penned by acclaimed novelist Tom McGuane (92 in the Shade and The Missouri Breaks). The main ensemble is rounded out by Elizabeth Ashley (Vampire’s Kiss) as the rancher’s bored wife, Harry Dean Stanton (Alien and Repo Man) and Richard Bright (the Godfather series) as their bumbling employees, and Slim Pickens (Dr. Strangelove and Blazing Saddles) as an ancient livestock detective tended to by his beautiful niece (Charlene Dallas, Cops and Robbers). In the supporting cast are cult icons Joe Spinell (Maniac) and Patti D’Arbanville (Bilitis).For Perry, this motley collection fits comfortably alongside the many oddballs and misfits who populate his diverse oeuvre, which includes films like The Swimmer, Last Summer, Play It as It Lays and Diary of a Mad Housewife. Legendary singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett provides the film’s rollicking song score and performs on camera in a nightclub sequence. The breathtaking Big Sky Country scenery, shot by cinematographer William A. Fraker (Bullitt and Rosemary’s Baby), looks more stunning than it has in decades in this world-premiere Blu-ray restoration of Rancho Deluxe. ACTORS: Jeff Bridges, Sam Waterston, Elizabeth Ashley, Clifton James, Harry Dean Stanton BONUS FEATURES: Region A Blu-ray New 2K restoration from its 35mm interpositive Video interview with Jeff Bridges Video interview with Tom McGuane Audio commentary Booklet essay Extra TV version scenes Trailer English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing"

Handsome, not very smart Spike hooks up with local mob boss Cacetti's daughter Angel and is banished from Bensonhurst. Can Spike rebound? He's a wild, irresponsible two-timing wiseguy from Brooklyn. But you gotta love him. Spike Fumo (Sasha Mitchell) aspires to boxing glory and doesn't want to end up a loser like his dad, who's taking a rap in Sing Sing for local mob boss Baldo Cacetti (Ernest Borgnine). When tough, handsome and not very smart Spike hooks up with the mobster's blonde princess daughter Angel (Maria Pitillo), he angers Cacetti and is banished from Italian Bensonhurst to Puerto Rican Red Hook. How will Spike rebound after being bounced from the only turf he's ever known? Legendary New York filmmaker Paul Morrissey's satiric comedy is a wise and very funny sendup of Brooklyn mafia community relations in the '80s. Newly-restored from it's original 35mm camera negative, Spike of Bensonhurst makes its worldwide debut on 4K UHD and Blu-ray.
