    "The Alamo"s Status?

    Waited for years for this to reappear on TCM. A terrible pan and scan was on a premium movie station a while back. The print was acceptable and I transferred it onto dvd-r. I can imagine what a restoration would look like but until that becomes a project or even just remastered for Blu ray...

    "The Alamo"s Status?

    Hi Matt, So many beautiful movie themes that year but GLOS certainly is one that is forgotten. The Brothers Four did a beautiful rendition of it and I was able to find it on karaoke to record with my less than stellar singing voice myself.

    I got it too but most if not all of the titles I either purchased already or recorded onto DVD-R from TCM-HD.Saw "Crisis" starring Cary Grant for the first time. Great film not really known by many and would recommend it as being one of the five for anybody's order.

    Good to see that WB will releasing both versions of "The Squaw Man". What I assume is a poor quality release of the silent 1914 has been available from Alpha Video for some time so it is my guess the original version has been public domain. I know the print quality of it that was aired on...

    I felt the same way about some titles I wouldn't mind having but waited for them to drop in price. I also always check TCM's schedule to see if any are going to be aired within the next two months since I also dub them onto DVD-R (except for the really good technicolor remastered ones which I...

    Hi, Know they hold the competition each year for those new scores. Lots of times TCM also airs silents released in Europe on DVD (region 2) that are not available in the U.S.

    Was finally able to get "Safe In Hell" at a good discount price (5/50) which is the one I really wanted. With the five I was also able to add "The Bad Seed" which WB sells for just $4.95. As a silent film buff, wish more of the pre-talkies would be released - have every single title already...

    Unfortunately, "Safe In Hell" wasn't one of the over 900 titles that was part of the buy 2/get 1 free sale this past week.

    When we applied the wacsur code $2.98 came off each disc, just a 15% savings.

    WB Archive having a sale on many (but not all titles) buy two and get one free. Free shipping still applies.

    Thanks Bob, Can now understand why I missed it. Instead of the details simply following the description, there instead appears recommendations for other films. Didn't bother to scroll down further. Joe

    Hi Bob, I looked for a timing on the archive site - couldn't find any so that's why I went to TCM. Where did I miss it? Just want to confirm that film is the complete and restored edition before purchasing it. Joe

    "Safe In Hell" is listed at 72 minutes at IMDB but on TCM website the length is just 65 minutes. Also saw the clip on the WB Archives and it opened with the title and then immediately went to that scene with the girl being escorted into the hotel. No timing provided in the information. Short...

    Thanks for the clarification. A loony tunes fan myself, I never realized the censored cartoons always being referred to were eleven that have haven't been seen - always thought they were ones that were edited like the one I referred to. Have the Bosco collection and can understand why those...

    I believe those censored Loony Tunes appear on the DVD collections issued by WB. I have a few of of the boxed sets and each has a video introduction by Whoppie Goldberg warning that the cartoons were complete, uncensored and reflected the racial attitudes and stereotypes of the time. One I know...

    WB Archives recently added "Queen of Outer Space" which was originally issued on the Warner Brothers label as a DVD. I note the archive release has not been remastered (the original DVD was only enhanced for widescreen TVs) and didn't notice the inclusion of the audio commentary and theatrical...

    I too would like to see Employee's Entrance issued. TCM had it on a few days ago but there were break ups which made even watching the film un-enjoyable.

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service - my most favorite James Bond film. Had five different versions of it - first was a recording made of the edited version aired by ABC, followed by the pan and scan VHS version, then a letterbox version, followed by the original DVD release and finally the...

    I am hoping that WB Archives does release some of those secret agent films from Italy produced in the mid-sixties. One title that comes to mind is "The Spy Strikes Silently" with Lang Jeffries - that did have a few karate scenes in it.

    Watching "The Karate Killers" (originally a two-part episode entitled the "The Five Daughters Affair") in zoom mode to view it in 16x9. Nothing of real importance cut off from the top or bottom (i.e., heads, etc.) so my guess is that the films were simply cropped from the 4x3 TV versions with...

    I have all the UNCLE films, having dubbed them off of TCM when last aired. If you're a fan of the series, you'll love these expanded film versions that were released in the United Kingdom. The first film is an expanded version of the pilot/first episode which contains as much added footage as...

    Yes, most all the WB archives are available at Oldies.com for $14.99 each and with no tax. Shipping is flat $4.99 or 5.99 (forgot which) and for a limited time a free DVD comes with the purchase. The selection isn't great but I got an NBC news report about looking back at the Watergate scandal...

    Aren't there others out there who dub these titles onto their own DVD-Rs off of TCM-HD instead of buying them? I've recorded hundreds of titles and the picture quality is fine. And with two films per disc at a cost of 36 cents per disc, at eighteen cents a movie it is much more affordable...

    Agree about the sales. There are a few new titles I want to get (like many, "The Letter" is one of them) but even some of the ten dollars knocked off is offset by the shipping charges.

    Count me in as well. Having also been a customer from the start, those specials helped me to amass a nice collection on titles TCM hadn't aired in years and a Just glad they released some that I badly wanted (i.e. "Madam Satan", "Alias The Doctor". etc.) before doing away with the coupons...

    Yes, that was some big difference and maybe the remastered print will be aired on TCM-HD the next time around. A while back I didn't dub it onto DVD-R specifically due to the washed out and overall poor picture quality. Regarding those coupon codes sent by email, yes, they are specific to...
