Some Like It Hot – 3-disc 4K Limited Collector’s Edition

Altitude and Capelight Pictures are thrilled to bring Billy Wilder‘s classic crime comedy, Some Like it Hot, to the UK for the first time in 4K on UHD Blu-ray. To celebrate the release a 3-disc Limited Collector’s Edition Mediabook will be available from 18th May. 

From writer and director Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard, The Apartment) Some Like it Hot stars Marilyn Monroe (All About Eve), Tony Curtis (Spartacus) and Jack Lemmon(The Apartment). In 1960, the film won the Oscar® for Best Costume Design and three Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture – Comedy, Best Actor – Musical/Comedy (Jack Lemmon) and Best Actress – Musical/Comedy (Marilyn Monroe).

In Some Like It Hot, two Chicago musicians, Joe and Jerry, witness the Valentine’s Day Massacre. Fearing the gangster Spats Colombo, the two flee. On their journey to another state, they meet Sugar Kane Kowalczyk and her all-female band and spontaneously join the group – with new identities. Disguised as women, they now perform as Josephine and Daphne. But it doesn’t take long for the next trouble to arise…

This parody of gangster films and melodramas is one of Billy Wilder’s best-known and most popular works, and is also Marilyn Monroe’s most successful film. In 2000, the American Film Institute named the film the funniest American film of all time.

The 3-disc Limited Collector’s Edition Mediabook contains the movie on UHD-Blu-ray (in 4K with Dolby Vision and HDR10) and Blu-ray, a Bonus-Blu-ray and a 24-page booklet.

Some Like it Hot will be releasing on Limited Collector’s Edition 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from 18th May

Let’s Go To The Movies – 50 Favourite Films!

This is something I have been putting together for quite a long time now and I have held off posting it or even attempting to start the blog post in fear that I have forgotten and somehow missed a favourite film from the list. Barring in mind I got up to 72 films and then had to cut it down to the 50. I would like to make clear these are my favourite films, some might have happened to win Oscars as well and some certainly have not at all. The way I have decided on my favourites is the sheer joy they bring and the number of rewatches I have had over the years. While I have listed 1-50 a lot of them can be shifted around and changed with each other. It is going to highlight my love for musicals and for certain actors and actresses! I doubt it will contain many surprises though!

The Apartment

I feel as though this film is very underrated and has such impressive performances from Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon. The characters feel real and I just love this scene/moment!

Blogathon: 7 Things I Learned from the Movies

banners

You’re invited to get deep, personal or have some fun with the lessons films have taught you, for the THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE MOVIES BLOGATHON.

Your hosts are Ruth of Silver Screenings and Kristina of Speakeasy, and this blogathon happens October 14-17, 2016.

You can do anything: a list, essay, video, or podcast, to discuss the valuable or ridiculous life lesson(s) you learned from a film, whether it was about love, war, greed, kindness, activism, bravery, sacrifice, or prejudice. Tell which movie taught you a universal truth, a new concept, the way a system works, how to craft the perfect comeback, deal with a bully, kill a vampire, behave on a date, solve a murder or mix a cocktail with style. Did a film guide your career choice, help you overcome an obstacle, better understand a friend, era, art form or culture, or change your life?

7 Films for New Year’s Eve

As 2015 is coming to a close and we are about to start 2016 I thought the perfect way to do that was to take a look back in the film world at films which have fantastic New Year’s Eve scenes or moments. Might be a little bit strange considering I am not really a very big fan of New Year in all honesty and don’t have any plans myself for tonight. It probably doesn’t help that 2015 has been a truly awful year for me, but the less said about that the better. So what better way than to disappear into the world of film and see characters have some great and maybe interesting New Year’s Eve moments?

I do enjoy a good rendition of Auld Lang Syne though in all honesty and you will see that by some of the choices below!
