WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

What island is this, where I have electricity and a television set? I imagine this would be the "island" of your mind per se. More of a hypothetical. If you had to choose 3 movies of Welles that you could see over and over again, and not want to kill yourself, what would they be? Perhaps I should h...

...you can take only 3, THAT'S THREE DVD'S (Only Orson Welles films, of course), which would they be? By the way, these can be films that he has directed or acted in. It's a cliche' question, but an interesting one to ponder none the less. My first choice would be taking a movie about actually bein...

I just received my Region 2 (UK) DVD of Treasure Island and after reading that some of the Direction in the movie could be/is by Welles, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the case. In fact, not withstanding the denials of whomever was involved with this film in saying that Welles didn't dir...

Just got finished watching The Rockford Files Season 1. Starting Miami Vice Season 2. I'm in a TV series on DVD mode right now for some reason. ...And then I will be watching in the coming weeks, DVD's that I've ordered for my new all region DVD player. This list would include: The Trial (Studio Ca...

Being that I just ordered an all region DVD player and also ordered the Studio Canal Trial DVD from Amazon France, I am greatly looking forward to seeing this film again. This is actually my top Orson Welles film and one I could watch over and over again. It's not exactly Mary Poppins, as far as up...

I wish I was back in L.A. I would love to go and see that. My guess as to the "rare and unseen" clips would be what is on the F For Fake Criterion 2nd disc. If anyone has this, you'll know what I'm talking about. I could be wrong, but on that release they had Orson in his last years living with his...

Okay, I've been talking about what great quality the overseas Welles' DVD films are and it's come to this. I've decided to give away as a gift, my recently bought region 1 home theater (call it the Christmas spirit) to a fairly surprised family member, and splurge on a nice, fat region free ( with ...

I'm quite, well not happy about this, considering all the best quality Welles movies seem to be overseas, meaning not region 1. I just recently bought a Panasonic HT-680 home theater system and it is quite excellent, but, you guessed it, only plays Region 1 dvd's. There is no way around it on this ...

Thanks for the reply. The Focus Films one is Citizen Welles. Unfortunately, the quality is just not there. Check out Film comparison on this site (Click films-The Trial-Video availability-side by side comparison) and you'll see what I mean. It compares Milestone, Focus Films and the amazing French ...

I keep up with the news on this site, hoping to catch a glimpse of future Orson releases. Aside from the now $80.00 (Amazon) price tag on the Image (milestone) version of The Trial, does anyone see this coming out in the near future in a region 1 or All Region format (French-Studio Canal like quali...

I've seen many of these, but not all. From the movie selection that I have seen, I chose The Third Man. Though the role was not large for Welles here, it was very effective in the film, bringing across the point well. The speech on the Ferris Wheel and continued at the end of the ride by Welles (Wh...
