    Any of these LD's rare?

    Indeed. About a year ago I sold a sealed LD copy of the old trucking B-movie White Line Fever for $80 on eBay -- much to my surprise.

    Public Domain Titles/Quality on DVD

    I've had a couple of PD DVD Jodie Foster flicks in my collection. One is Five Corners by United American Video (there are at least 2 different editions of this on DVD). This one is utterly atrocious; P&S, it's so soft and shaky it looks to have been duped right from an EP mode VHS tape. And to...

    Up for trade or sale: Family Business--The Complete First Season. This is the Showtime "reality" series that follows Adam Glasser - aka porn kingpin Seymore Butts - as he goes about his daily biz: directing & producing porno, auditioning new "talent", inventing new sex toys, going on blind...

    Top Rare DVD's?

    This past year I really pared down my collection (from 1130+). Here's a partial list of legitimate o.o.p. discs that I've sold on eBay and Half.com during 2003 (mostly early in the year), along with the approximate prices they sold for: Arizona Dream (Region 2 Japanese import / Pioneer...

    Any good non-fiction paranormal/occult/ghost DVDs?

    There's a 2-disc A&E set called The Unexplained. It focuses on four phenomena: Vampirism, Spontaneous Human Combustion, Poltergeists, and Heroism (under the title 'Extreme Sacrifice'). DDD has it for a little over $11 shipped, but here's a link to its listing on Amazon, so you can read the...

    "Up From Zero" Documentary

    So, has anyone actually received a copy of this DVD? I ordered mine two months ago (the DOL site says to allow "up to 6 weeks") and have yet to receive it, nor have I gotten any reply to email inquiries about it. I figure it either hasn't actually been released yet or there was a glitch when...

    70s Gems

    Amazon has a listing for a possible future Vanishing Point DVD here. I have a special fondness for White Line Fever. Unfortunately, the likelihood of a DVD of this movie is pretty slim: The VHS edition went out-of-print a year or so ago, and Columbia/TriStar, who owns it, does not...

    Stay away from Half.com for dvd's!

    I wouldn't neccesarily give up on buying DVDs from Half.com after one or two bad experiences. You just have to be cautious: check out the seller's feedback--I mean actually read through a page or two of their feedback profile. Also, this is just my practice but I never, ever buy anything from a...

    Stay away from Half.com for dvd's!

    Actually, Half.com invites reportage of listing policy violations: after you pull up a title, and you're on the main product listing page, pick any item on the page (for example, the seller who may still be selling boots of Road To Perdition) and click "More info..." to the right of the listing...

    Deep Discount DVD

    I've placed dozens of orders from DDD over the years, and have been overall pleased with their performance. The free-shipping times vary quite a bit; I'm in Houston and I've had some DDD shipments reach me within one week, and others take over three weeks (I'm still waiting for Paper Moon, for...

    Would you buy one of your Fav. Movies if it was ONLY on P&S DVD?.... I Did :(

    Sure, if the only alternative is to simply never see the movie again because it will never be released in OAR, then I will buy/watch a Pan & Scan DVD. Of course, I have to really like the movie, for starters. And also, this is in cases where 1) the movie does not exist in its original aspect...

    My Bodyguard

    I totally agree. This remains one of my favorites--it's so evocative of the whole adolescent/Junior High experience. It was also the first film or nearly the first film for a number of actors: Chris Makepeace, Adam Baldwin, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Beals, Joan Cusack. I've heard it said that the...

    What do YOU do with DVDs you no longer want?

    I've sold many hundreds of my DVDs. Most of them I've sold on Half.com and a bunch on Amazon.com. As several people have mentioned, eBay is good especially for more valuable stuff. Basically, here are the pros and cons of each selling venue: Half.com Pros: a) No listing fees b)...

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Haunting (1963)

    Nice review, Jack. This has been one of my most eagerly awaited DVDs, and I'm especially gratified to see that one of the techniques referred to in the review is the use of voice-over. Whenever I hear people criticize the use of voice-over in general (and there are many instances of its misuse)...
