In addition to a majority of its own post-1948 film and television library, WB owns (both through its own in-house unit and its Turner Entertainment subsidiary combined):
•Most of Lorimar's television and film holdings (including most of the Allied Artists/ Monogram library, as well as several films made by Lorimar themselves which were released originally by Paramount Pictures, among other studios);
•Most of the post-1974 Rankin/Bass library
•The National General Pictures library, except those produced with Cinema Center Films, which are owned by CBS (for all distribution other than theatrical) and Paramount Pictures (for theatrical only, with Hollywood Classics representing)
•Most ancillary rights to Castle Hill Productions' library (which includes early UA material)
•The 1956 version of Around the World in 80 Days (originally from United Artists).
•Most of the pre-1991 Morgan Creek Productions library (except Major League, which is still held by co-producer Paramount)
•Most of the pre-1990 Saul Zaentz film library
•The 1978-1982 Orion Pictures library

•The 1931 version of Waterloo Bridge and the 1936 version of Show Boat, originally from Universal.
•The 1978 film Watership Down, originally released by Avco Embassy Pictures
Now the list of films owned by Lionsgate really gets confusing.
Haha Good One!
I can't believe for the second year in a row that we can expect nothing from MGM. How is this possible? Does this company read this forum and how about a chat with them, or are they that much in the crapper.
