I bought The Colossus Of Rhodes years ago in the Warner DVD set, Historical Epics (it also contained The Prodigal & Land Of The Pharaohs), & I don't think I made it past the half hour mark, so an easy pass (but an instant purchase if it had been Land Of The Pharaohs!).
I last saw Dark Of The Sun decades ago, & although I'd quite like to see it again, I don't particularly want to buy it or own it (I know I'd only look at it once). So far this year, the only WAC release I've bought is Harper. I think I've only bought two movies on Blu-ray so far this year, I'm trying not to buy films just for the sake if it, but I've have bought a few TV box sets (last week it was Penny Dreadful complete, I think I'm going to enjoy that one).

Warner Archive has dated and detailed four upcoming Blu-ray releases: The Sea Hawk (1940), Horror of Dracula (1958), The Blue Knight (1973), and Popeye: The Sailor: The 1940s, Volume One (1943-1945). The releases will arrive on the market this December.
The Sea Hawk
Synopsis: Cannons thunder, blades clatter and Erich Wolfgang Korngold's incomparable music swirls and flourishes in The Sea Hawk. In one of his best roles, Errol Flynn plays Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe, who commandeers a 40-gun galleon, endures captivity, then boldly escapes to warn England of Spain's armada. Working on his 10th of 12 movies with Flynn, Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) masterfully directs the film's blend of royal intrigue and derring-do heroics – made on a then-lavish $1.7-million scale that included construction of two full-sized ships. The film was stirringly topical in its day. When Queen Elizabeth (Flora Robson) exhorts her country to maintain fighting readiness against tyranny "now and forever," audiences knew forever had come: Hitler had launched his World War II air siege of England.

Horror of Dracula
Synopsis: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, Britain's premier masters of the macabre, bring the Horror of Dracula to vivid, full-color death in this retelling of Bram Stoker's spellbinding vampire tale. Dracula (Lee), a centuries-old Transylvanian nobleman damned to an eternal half-life, regularly finds new victims. He also finds Dr. Van Helsing (Cushing), a scientist who becomes the Count's implacable foe in a deadly game of bat-and-mouse. This is the UK version titled "DRACULA", and featuring footage previously restored by the British Film Institute and Hammer Films. Warner Archive's new release restores the original color palette of the film, using dye-transfer Technicolor prints as reference, and has been meticulously cleaned of film-related damage for a superior presentation.
The dread is here – as are the power and pathos of this genre landmark by which Hammer Studios ushered in a new era of screen chills from classic evildoers. Tremble through that era again. Unleash the horror. Special Features and Technical Specs:
