  The Green Mile

  Miracles happen in unexpected places, even on death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. There John Coffey, a prisoner with supernatural powers, brings a sense of spirit and humanity to his guards and fellow inmates. Tom Hanks leads a stellar cast (including Michael Clarke Duncan as Coffey) in this emotional, uplifting story of guards and captives, husbands and wives, prisoners and a remarkable mouse named Mr. Jingles, and, on another level, of a moviemaker and his source. Frank Darabont returns after his 1994 directorial debut THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION to adapt another Stephen King tale into a crowd-pleasing entertainment nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

  Fanny Hill / The Phantom Gunslinger

  From acclaimed producer Albert Zugsmith (TOUCH OF EVIL, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN) crafted some of the strangest and most unlikely exploitation films of the 60s. Vinegar Syndrome presents the Blu-ray debut of two of his rarest works: Cult filmmaker Russ Meyer takes on directorial duties in Zugsmith's adaptation of the notorious erotic classic Fanny Hill. Set in pre-Victorian London, young Fanny finds herself taken in by a madame at one of the city's most elite brothels. A strange mix of Zugsmith's surreal slapstick and Meyer's trademark buxom beauties and thoughtful satire, FANNY HILL is an over-the-top saga of low-rent thrills in high-brow settings. Zugsmith's mind-numbing blend of surrealism and slapstick comedy done as a self-aware parody of westerns stars Troy Donohue as Phil P. Phillips, fresh out of divinity school and living in the frontier town of Yucca Flats. When a gang of seven criminals take the town hostage, it+-s up to Phil to save the village, or die trying, again and again... Both films have been restored from their original negatives and are being offered on Blu-ray & DVD fully uncut for the first time! Bonus Features: Interview with star Ulli Lomell, interview with film historian Eric Schaefer and reversible cover art.
