DVD & BLU-RAY PICKS
All Quiet On the Western Front (Universal Pictures): Lewis Milestone’s classic anti-war film won the Oscar for Best Picture just 9 years before the World War II. Based on Erich Maria Remarque’s novel, it is still one of the most powerful films about the horrors of World War I. Digitally restored as part of Universal’s 100th anniversary. [Buy it on Blu-ray]
To Kill a Mockingbird (Universal Pictures): Another Universal release to get the restoration treatment, is the 1962 film adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel. Directed by Robert Mulligan and produced by Alan J Pakula, it stars Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, Mary Badham as Scout and Robert Duvall as Boo Radley. Although not technically groundbreaking, it is probably one of the most influential films of the 20th century. [Buy it on Blu-ray]
