Hello, film buffs! I've noticed quite a few movie posters from the 1930s that feature the same or a similar colour scheme: https://i.imgur.com/GEZmmLE.png I am constantly in awe of your collective knowledge about film history and was wondering if any of you knew why this might be. A lot of the films...

Thank you for the reply, even if it was to confirm my suspicions :(. Based on that recommendation, I'll have to pick up The Wizard of Oz at some point. I'm also looking forward to silent films in UHD. Don't know about others, but when I watch those old films in nice, colour-graded UHD, it's a bit of...

The Wizard of Oz (1939) and It's a Wonderful Life (1946) both just got 4K releases on Blu-ray. I believe there's a 4K version of It Happened One Night (1934) available digitally through Amazon, or at least that's what the website suggests. Does anyone know of any other old (pre-1950s?) films availa...

Unless you request otherwise, I won't include features that survive only in B&W or whose colour scenes don't survive at all. Titles/years bolded to stand out from release information. Thank you, Harold! This is very valuable information. I'm not interested in features that survive only in B&W, so I...

Thank you! Looks like there were some pretty big (obvious) titles I was misisng. I'll have to hunt down those two British titles as well. I've added the titles mentioned so far to the initial list, and I'll keep expanding on it as more titles are suggested. Many, many shorts are available, too, that...

Hello! You folks are always really helpful. I'm on the lookout for colour feature films from the 1930s available on DVD and Blu-ray. I have this list so far: Full Colour King of Jazz (1930) [Criterion Blu-ray 2018] Follow Thru (1930) [??? DVD-R ???] Whoopee! (1930) [WHV DVD 2013] Doctor X (1932) [WH...

Well, as an update, I've had no luck with any of the subtitle websites (hard of hearing or otherwise). I might let it rest for a while. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I was also thinking I might rip the audio from the films, and try to translate it via speech recognition and a machine translatio...

Does anyone know what is said in Hungarian in Dracula (1931)? I've heard there's a line from the Lord's prayer, but I'd like to know what else. What about the Spanish spoken in In Old Arizona (1928)? Or the Japanese spoken in Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)? I know that these are all examples of for...

Thank you very much for the suggestions. I knew you guys would have some great advice. It's really tough trying to search for this kind of thing. I will look into these titles, particularly The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ which seems pretty lengthy. Thank you!

Hi, From what I have read, feature-length films earlier than 1911's L'inferno are generally thought to be lost. Among these lost films are features like "The Story of the Ned Kelly Gang (1906)", of which ~20 minutes survives and is available on DVD. Do any of you know of other features (pre-1911) th...
