West Side Story: available

The Parent Trap (1961) : available (it's a UK import though, so you might want to check at Amazon.co.uk too)

EDIT: Forget it, just read the titles. Wished MediaType was somewhat hidden.

The discs at least with regards to GWTW and Oz are identical, well almost more on that in a second. For Oz they are the same but do not include the bells and whistles (non-disc material). The bells and whistles don't interest me, if I have a choice. In the case of GWTW, the transfer will be the same BUT instead of including Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War, they are including When the Lion Roars, which came with Oz, as well. So in that case I will say I am considering the UCE, I don't need two When the Lion Roars.

As to the transfers themselves, even Casablanca, two words, simply spectacular. The upcoming African Queen which I have been able to pre-screen and can't wait, I'm in love. The film looks better than it has in years and years, we came very close to losing this classic.

I don't have any word on WSS or PT for BD yet. Christmas looks like it's going to pretty packed this year, so I am not sure i am looking for either of them until next year at the earliest.

Absolutely you can order those.

The colors of Oz are more vibrant and the details sharper than i have ever seen them . In the case of GWTW you will see and hear a movie which the audiences in 1939 never witnessed...not even in the very best theater in the world. When they did the last restoration it was very interesting, it was discovered that the three technicolor negatives had always been out of registration by FIVE pixels, the computer made the correction resulting a level of detail that is simply incredible, the restoration also uncovered audio information which while it was always there, it was to subtle for the equipment of 1939 to pick up and be able to reproduce, like ructling crenolins in the women's dresses, even some of the moaning in the Atlanta sequence which opened after the intermission. It was just awesome. Casablanca just...WOW.

For the Queen go here it has some screenshots that while they don't do the Full HD justice will still knock your socks off. Especially if you are familiar with some of pathetic airings of the film in the last 20 years, we truly came close to losing it. But no more.

Not in Blu-Ray you didn't, Kathy. I hasn't been released and that's what he wants.

Kathy, that is correct, I did see them on DVD, but now I am concentrating on Blu-ray
Thanks for the info!
