I seriously doubt it. Just another indication that physical media is one step closer to the graveyard.

Really? Last I checked physical media is still selling in the Multi Billions.. Maybe less than before but hardly chump change that will be ignored by the $tudio$.

I searched but I didn't find any thread about this:


http://screencrush.com/paramount-youtube-free-vault/

Unfortunately this is available only to US and I can't see them.

Are they HD?

Does that mean that all those movies will come to Bluray?

I caught sight of a couple that would interest me

(Elephant Walk, King Solomon's Mines)

Thanks for that link. I hadn't heard about this. Lots of good stuff there. I'm esp. intrigued by BRIDE OF VENGEANCE (1949), starring Paulette Goddard as Lucrezia Borgia!


And let me recommend another period picture on the site. If you want to see Bob Hope's funniest picture, check out CASANOVA'S BIG NIGHT (1954). It's the Hope movie that represents, for me, the most direct influence on Woody Allen I can find among Hope's work. And it's got a funny cameo by Vincent Price as Casanova. (Hope is Casanova's tailor, who impersonates him for most of the movie.)

Never get tired of seeing "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" Amazing the censors allowed the film to be shown in the 1940's. Paramount still owns the film because in the 1950's they didn't think it could be shown on TV and so it wasn't included in the sale of pictures to MCA. It's too bad the films on youtube are interrupted by commercials but they are brief.

But the remake was a Cannon production, which should make it MGM now.
But it's on this Paramount service and has a new Paramount logo in front of it - is it possible something changed?

I predict you will still be able to buy physical media 10 years from now.

Are these films that havent been released on any other digital medium (DVD BD Download) ? I looked at the list and wonder if there are others also never released before. Hmmm.

If a disc is made for a movie that maybe 5 people in the world will buy, then it IS chump change, and that may even be overstating it.

You may be able to buy DVDs and BDs 10 years from now, but the SELECTIONS will definitely be a lot fewer, and you may be buying from the digital market a lot more often instead. As more and more consumers forgo physical media, studios will make fewer and fewer of them; that's just a mathematical certainty.

The licensing market will probably be the larger, if not the only, source. If you are referring to catalog titles, they are already diminishing, so I have already imagined that would be the case, even more so, in 10 years. I say all this barring a resurgence of course.
I would also like to say that I am satisfied with a great deal of the 1080p transfers, and will not be buying them again in UHD. The only exceptions would be any catalog 4K transfers of large format films.
