Ivanhoe debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection receiving a new video restoration and stars Robert Taylor, Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Fontaine and is out December 14.
Reflections in a Golden Eye debuts on Blu-ray with both a colorized version and a “gold”-hued one as originally director John Huston intended.
Although X Y & Zee is a bit too outlandish for me, the trio cast of Taylor, Caine and York was fun to watch and some of the darker humor did work.
Hollywood’s Greatest Screen Legends set might be cool in theory but these are episodes of something called “Hollywood Remembers” from 2000 and these were not professionally produced though you can at least see the passion as I doubt this was some money ploy.

I give a brief breakdown on Mill Creek’s June 7th multi-movie pack releases, specifically Streets of Fear and Midnight Movie Madness.
