For the one or two people on this board who might be interested:) the Martin Scorsese Collection hit store shelves today. The collection includes two films heretofore unavailable on DVD and two previously available titles updated to Special Editions. All titles are in Anamorphic Widescreen for the first time, including:

Goodfellas 2 Disc Special Edition: All-New Digital Transfer - Commentary by director Martin Scorsese with cast and crew, Commentary by ex-gangster Henry Hill and ex-FBI agent Edward McDonald, and three documentaries: Getting Made, Made Men: The Goodfellas Legacy, The Workaday Gangster, and more.

Mean Streets Special Edition: All-New Digital Transfer, Commentary by Martin Scorsese, Vintage Featurette: Martin Scorsese Back on the Block, and more.

After Hours: Commentary by Martin Scorsese, Griffin Dunne, Amy Robinson, Michael Ballhaus, and Thelma Shoonmaker, Making -of Documentary: Filming For Your Life: Making After Hours, Deleted Scenes, and more.

Who's That Knocking At My Door: Commentary by Martin Scorsese and Mardik Martin, From The Classroom To The Streets: The Making of Who's That Knocking At My Door.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore: Commentary by Martin Scorsese, Ellen Burstyn, and Kris Kristofferson, Making -of Documentary: Second Chances, and more.

This package retails on-line for around $42.00, a little more in stores, but for any true Scorsese fan, Goodfellas, Mean Streets, and After Hours are must haves and bought individually would run you more than the cost of the box set alone, so this set is quite a deal. Got mine already!

He did Alice..? It's so un - Scorsese. It's not in new york at night.

Yep! He did a damned good job on it too, even if it might tecnically qualify as a "chick flick". Scorsese has moved back and forth over the years between having full control over highly personal projects (Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas) and being a "director for hire" (Boxcar Bertha, The Color of Money, Cape Fear). "Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More" was his first big budget job as a director for hire for a major studio after putting himself on the map with the highly personal "Mean Streets".

I saw "Alice" recently on Sundance, it actually holds up pretty well. Most peoples memories of it were eclipsed by the vastly inferior kiss-my-grits "Alice" TV series.

... plus, any movie with Billy Green Bush in it gets extra points in my book. No, actually, it's a good, compelling story. The young actor who portrays Bursteyn's son is especially good. Don't know if I ever saw him in anything else.

^Are you kidding? You must be younger than me, that's Alfred Lutter. When I was a kid he was in every other TV show, afterschool special or movie, most notably "The Bad News Bears".

It's been years since I saw "The Bad News Bears" so I didn't remember him in that. He was a talented little actor.

He specialized in the nerdy-kid-with-glasses roles on seventies TV and movies. He was in a lot of stuff!
