Films such as Cop Land, Spy Kids, Sin City, From Dusk Til Dawn and City Of God are all getting fresh disc releases in the UK. Now owned by a group that includes Paramount Pictures, the Miramax label is long free of the claws of the Weinstein brothers. There’s not much in the way of film output coming from the company anymore, but there’s an enviable catalogue of films that are being made freshly available. That’s down to a deal that was struck back at the end of 2019 for Paramount to distribute those films again on home formats around the world. Now, on February 1st 2021, a whole host of them arrive on a mix of DVD and Blu-ray in the UK. The pricing for these are £5.99 for DVDs and £7.99 for Blu-rays, and many of them have been unavailable on disc for a little while. They include films by the likes of Kevin Smith, Robert Rodriguez, Anthony Minghella and – well, perhaps it’s best we just show you the list. This is everything that’s now available for preorder. We suspect you’re not getting much in the way of extra features, and can’t confirm if the old supplements are being ported over from previous releases. Still, when you have the chance to – checks list – buy Highlander IV on disc again, who’s complaining? 1st February: The Faculty 1st February: From Dusk Til Dawn trilogy 1st February: Scary Movie boxset (the first three films) 1st February: The Aviator 1st February: Cop Land 1st February: City Of God 1st February: Little Voice 1st February: Hero 1st February: Sin City 1st February: The Talented Mr Ripley 1st February: Halloween three movie collection 1st February: Clerks 1st February: Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back 1st February: Serendipity 1st February: Cold Mountain 1st February: The Others 1st February: Ella Enchanted 1st February: Spy Kids trilogy 1st February: Highlander IV 1st February: Finding Neverland 1st February: Starsky & Hutch More as we hear it. — Thank you for visiting! If you’d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
