Orion Pictures had a good run that is nicely framed within the laserdisc era. What are some of your favorites? |

ORION makes me instantly think of: - Silence of the Lambs, The (1991) [ID7434OR] - Robocop (1987) [ID5168] - Dances with Wolves (1990) [ID8322OR] There was probably a lot more... Julien |

I see that "THE TERMINATOR" isn't listed must be something to do with studio? As the opening of the film has the Orion intro then Pacific. I see though the database it has many distributor -publihser releases. HBO / Gaumont Columbia Tri-Star / Pioneer LDC / Multigram / TF1 Video and on and on... What was the simple reason for this not that I'm bothered. I'm sure of the top of my head, only pressing of "Robocop 2" I have is the P/S That is fine crisp transfer with no issues. Robocop 2 (1990) [ID8014OR] |

Robocop 3 (1993) [ID2671OR] Robocop 3 went grossly over budget and made no money, which helped to ruin the studio. It also soured Frank Miller on Hollywood for over almost a decade, until the went back and worked on Sin City. It also ruined the career of Director Fred Dekker, who has not directed a movie since. The whole situation bums me out, because Robocop is my favourite movie, and I loved Orion Pictures, and to think that a sequel to one of my favourite movies helped ruin the studio is such a downer. On a side note, other than the movies already mentioned, I have to go for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure as one of my favourite Orion films. |

I enjoy the Abominable Dr. Phibes, The/Dr. Phibes Rises Again [ID3077OR] Disc, I also have Last Man On Earth, The/Panic in Year Zero [ID6113OR] I'd like to spin up Dances with Wolves one day to listen to the great John Barry's score. |

The Purple Rose of Cairo is really great. Probably the best film by Woody Allen and the only one of his I've seen where he ain't got a role. |

My pick is: Platoon No Man's Land Two Charlie Sheen films - everyone remembers Platoon but hardly anyone remembers No Man's Land from the same year 1987. It's one of his best movies too with a fantastic Basil Poledouris synthesized soundtrack. |
