I read just this morning that Wal-Mart is getting into the movie-by-mail rental business. I think they actually started a pilot program back in October and are planning to go after Netflix customers by offering a similar plan for less -- 3 movies out for $18.76 and a 2-out plan for $15.54. I...

I've also seen this information at www.davisdvd.com but I'm not familiar with this site. Is the info posted here reliable, i.e. is it coming directly from the studio? Columbia Tristar hinted at a possible video release of Forever Knight back in 1998, but that never materialized and they've...

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I tried unsuccessfully to find it online and had also checked several local retailers, including a Borders near my office; however, following your posts I checked out another Borders in the area and this store had one copy left!

I would really like to add Le dîner de cons a.k.a The Dinner Game to my collection, however it seems to be OOP. Does anyone have any information on this title and whether or not it's still available on DVD or, if not, whether it will be released again?

Living on a Prayer is featured in Rock Star, but not in Young Guns. I'm not, however, familiar with any 80s movies that it may have been in, but it would have to be a film after 1986 which is when the song was released. Maybe that will help narrow it down a bit for you.

Thanks for the advice! I was able to try out a DVD-R last night and my player had no trouble playing it.

I have a Sony DVP-C670D that I purchased several years ago, and I'm trying to determine if this machine is compatible with DVD-R. I know that it doesn't play CD-R or CD-RW. Does anyone who has this machine have any experience with its capability (or not) to handle DVD-R format?

Roger, If Blockbuster is your only local alternative, you might try renting online. You said that you didn't rent often enough to use Netflix, however there are other online rental stores that allow you to rent on-demand. One that comes to mind is DVD Overnight, although I've never used them...

Add my voice to that request. This is one of a small number of TV shows that I'm interested in purchasing. There were rumors back in 1998 that Columbia Tristar was considering releasing Forever Knight on video. Alas, whether those rumors were founded or not, that release never materialized. All...

Steve, I've seen Central Station...it's a wonderful film! Fernanda Montenegro's oscar nomination for this movie was well-deserved.

I have becoming increasingly frustrated with the increased turnaround time at RentMyDVD of late. I have been with them since May 2001 and, until recently, have been relatively happy. I live in the DC area and, with an occasional exception, it has consistently taken 2 days to receive and 2 days...

A few more titles that I don't recall seeing mentioned: OSL: Italian Title: Il Postino I love this film because: it has a trememdous amount of heart. A simple guy who learns to express himself through poetry with the help of Pablo Neruda who is in exile on the island. The audience actually...

OK, I think I've got one nobody else has mentioned... Wild Orchid :b Yeah, I know...Oscar material it ain't, but I find the underlying theme and symbolism in the movie fascinating. Not exactly a movie that I advertise as having in my collection. As for future guilty pleasures, I have...

Shawn, Did Bestbuy take the disc back without any problem? I also purchased mine from them?

I'd also like to know if Universal is still replacing discs. I just purchased the DTS version last weekend and it's the old version. :frowning: Unbelievable...the old version is still on the shelf for sale all this time after the reissue!

Deborah, I've had recurring problems with rental discs rented from Rentmydvd.com. I had three consecutive shipments with at least one problem disc. Most recently, a copy of Traffic locked up two-thirds of the way through the movie--very frustrating when you consider that it took 3 months to...

Grip of death? Hmm...this seems to be an accurate description of these cases. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a problem getting the disc out of these cases, with the exception of Star Trek: TOS Vol. 30 which arrived with the mechanism broken, the disc having already liberated...

Thanks for the feedback. As for recurring problems with discs, I rented from Blockbuster before signing up with RentmyDVD. I'm no fan of Blockbuster, but I only recall one or two discs that had problems. As to the problem being with the DVD player, my Sony player is less than a year old and I...

I signed up for a monthly rental program at RentmyDVD two months ago. In the last three shipments, there have been problems with one of the discs (I have the 2-disc rental plan so that's 50% of my rentals!). In one case, the last 5-6 chapters wouldn't play. In another shipment, there was a...
