Warner Brothers UK has detailed its upcoming New Diamond Luxe Editions of Gone With the Wind (1939), Gremlins (1984), and Batman (1989).
Gone With the Wind
On Blu-ray from Monday 10th Nov. 2014
Period romance. War epic. Family saga. Popular fiction adapted with crowd-pleasing brilliance. Star acting aglow with charisma and passion. Moviemaking craft at its height. These are sublimely joined in the words Gone With The Wind.
This dynamic and durable screen entertainment of the Civil War-era South comes home with the renewed splendor of a New 75th-Anniversary Digital Transfer capturing a higher-resolution image from Restored Picture Elements than ever before possible. David O. Selznick's monumental production of Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer Prize-winning book can now enthrall new generations of home viewers with a majestic vibrance that befits one of Hollywood's greatest achievements.
Considered one of the greatest classic American movies, Gone With The Wind won 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, Hattie McDaniel, the first Oscar awarded to an African-American actor.

Gremlins
On Blu-ray from Monday 10th Nov. 2014
Gremlins is a classic 80's comedy horror written by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, The Goonies) and directed by Joe Dante (The 'burbs, Innerspace). When Randall Peltzer buys his son, Billy, a new pet for Christmas the shopkeeper gives him three simple rules that he must follow. When Billy breaks these three rules a horde of unidentified, mischievous monsters are unleashed and begin to terrorise the small town Billy lives in. Festive fun guaranteed to have you laughing and screaming at the same time!

Batman
On Blu-ray from Monday 10th Nov. 2014
In 1989, director Tim Burton breathed new life into one of the most complex and intriguing characters in popular culture. Burton cast off the 1960s camp depiction of the Dark Knight and launched for Warner Bros. one of the most popular comic book film series ever. Batman was the top-grossing movie that year and subsequently became a global phenomenon.
Tim Burton's vision and Michael Keaton's performance as the Caped Crusader combine perfectly to capture Gotham City's sinister atmosphere and Batman's brooding nature. Jack Nicholson stars in a memorable performance as the maniacal Joker and Kim Basinger is Vicki Vale, the beautiful and resourceful photojournalist desired by both men. Featuring songs by Prince and a score by Danny Elfman, Batman won the 1990 Oscar® for Best Art Direction/Set Decoration (Anton Furst and Peter Young).
