I don’t know if there was ever a race to give A Rage to Live its first Blu-ray release but Imprint Films has beaten other labels to the punch, as they have numerous times in the past, with a debut that will no doubt inspire forthcoming editions.

Before the equally appetising title, Hamburger Hill, there was Pork Chop Hill; a major studio feature that strayed from the tradition of glorifying America’s heroism in World War II in favour of a brief chapter on the Korean War. Imprint Films brought this lesser-known classic to Blu-ray this past December, which details the literal uphill

With the studio vaults wide open to boutique labels, Imprint Films have been taking full advantage by giving an HD home to overlooked back catalogue titles, such as Distant Thunder, a movie that’ “so far down it’s not even on the map”, to quote The Warriors.

Imprint’s October batch of releases was subject to a lot of buzz online, but little mention was made of The Molly Maguires, much like when it hit theatres over fifty years ago, but hopefully, I can steer some viewers towards the moralistic drama of deadly industrial action. Set in Pennsylvania, 1876, a Pinkerton detective, James

Contrary to what the title suggests, Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead, is not a morbid advertisement for the ‘Mile-High City’, but rather a slick crime/drama made in post-Pulp Fiction Hollywood that’s currently available on Blu-ray from the boutique label, Imprint Films, title number 144. Andy Garcia stars as Jimmy the Saint, an
