Every movie forum should have some kind of MIDNITE MOVIES list. These were great releases, with a great banner, and along with the requisite trailer, they gave us those cool factoids on the back of the DVD case. As of this posting the best place to still get some of these movies is at http://www.oldies.com/
So, here's what I got in my collection:
______________________________________________________________________
Wikipedia: Midnite Movies is a line of B movies released first on VHS then on DVD by MGM then later Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The line was begun by MGM in March 2001 following its acquisition of Orion Pictures, which bought out American International Pictures. AIP had a library of B movies from the 1950s and 1960s that were science fiction, horror, and exploitation films. The DVDs were first released as single films but most later releases would be double features. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment later became owners of the MGM library and continued the Midnite Movies line with distributor 20th Century Fox.
The collection is mostly made up of AIP films (including most of Roger Corman's and Vincent Price's horror movies) but also includes some Hammer Horror, Amicus, United Artists, and Empire Pictures movies as well.
