Classics ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and ‘Gone with the Wind’ Make it Home and Give a Damn, Respectively, on Blu-ray

In a mass email yesterday evening, Warner Brothers announced the release dates for the Victor Fleming cinema masterpieces The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind, in addition to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on Blu-ray.

It sounds like these technicolor wonders get the high-def treatment courtesy of IIRC, the guys that did the 4K scan for the DVD a few years back.

The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland, is set for release September 29th, 2009, in a Collectors Edition with the MSRP of $84.99.

Gone with the Wind, with Clark Gable at the helm, is set for release later this November 30th with a MSRP of the same price. With the release so close to Christmas, I’m going to call it now, this is going to be a hard Blu to find.

Finally, at the bottom of the email, the release of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy sits, completely out of place. The MSRP is $99.98. Not to knock The Lord of the Rings, but in comparison, the Golden Era Classics of Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz and then throwing The Lord of the Rings is almost depressing.

All of these gems are available at the official WBShop, or your favorite retailer.
