    Best Way To Store A Large DVD And Blu-Ray Collection

    Just curious, about how many disks can you fit into that space? Personally, I've found the most convenient combination of storing DVDs with all their original packaging to be heavy duty plastic five-tiered utility racks (ie - "gorilla racks") that can be found at Home Depot, etc. I keep all the...

    A&E Baseball dvd releases

    I'm with you guys. A big fan of these A&E releases (and other vintage sports broadcasts on DVD). I own all of the current releases from the 75 Reds set through 1988 Dodgers. I'm not really interested in too much of anything they've released post 1980s, but I own the Phillies 2008 set (as a Phils...

    Vivendi and RHI Press Release: Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection

    A bit late to thread, but absolutely excited about this news! As a long, long time fan of L&H, I have waited on pins and needles for literally the better part of the last ten years (since I've been building my DVD collection) for a comprehensive L&H release in R1. I have deliberately avoided the...

    Monsters (80s/90's syndicated horror anthology series)

    Count me in on both Monsters and Circle of Fear/Ghost Story. To me, those are really the last two memorable horror anthologies that have yet to get a DVD release, and I think they were both great. I would be on board for every season released of each. In general, I've been very pleased with...

    ALLIGATOR ('79) & ALIEN FROM THE DEEP Coming To DVD

    Shawn, I'm pretty sure this is what you are thinking of (THE WORLD BEYOND - 1978): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235068/ A great made-for-TV pilot that a lot of horror fans have been looking for for years. Granted, I also saw it as a kid when it first aired in '78, but my memories of it...

    MOD Programs: The Official HTF "Pros & Cons" Discussion Thread

    Well, there you go, the next logical progression in the new frontier of MOD - the "premium" DVD-R, with premium content at a premium price. It was only a matter of time until the studios with MOD programs did begin to include extras with these releases - for a steeper price. As for the MOD...

    More Sgt. Bilko?

    Is this another show that Paramount has abandoned after one season? I really want to get the remaining three seasons, and at that short of a run (only three more releases), you would think Paramount would be more inclined to finish it. It is one of the few genuine TV "classic" sitcoms that...

    THE NESTING (DVD Details & Artwork)

    Always glad to hear whenever more schlocky 80's horror is being released. I'm a huge fan of the sub-genre and less and less of it is making it out these days. The good side of that is that the vast majority of well and lesser known titles have made it to DVD by now, but there are still several...

    Sony Archive MOD

    Deep Discount has become essentially worthless to me. Part or all of my last several orders with them have taken weeks to months to ship... some of that due to items that were suddenly out-of-stock at DD just after I ordered them (but readily available everywhere else) being on back-order for...

    Taxi Season 4

    Quote: Well, that's a major bummer. But I can't say I'm surprised, given that I predicted as much. I guess we can at least be grateful to be getting the rest of the shows from this season (presumably) intact. One ruined episode vs. never getting the other shows is the trade-off, I guess. I now...

    Korda's THE JUNGLE BOOK (1942) - let's have a restoration!

    Amen, Dick... I've been waiting seemingly forever for even a decent release of this fine film on DVD. I bought one of the PD releases several years ago and was horrified at the condition of the print used for it. I had owned a PD VHS back in the 1980's that looked ten times better than the DVD...

    Midnite Movies

    Yep, I can also verify that the original TV airings had the quicksand death. I definitely remember it when I first saw FROGS in the late 1970's on the late show. Years later when I got the DVD and watched it, I immediately noticed the scene missing and wondered if somehow the DVD was edited. I...

    Taxi Season 4

    And season 4 had the episode that used substantial portions of Billy Joel's "Vienna." It is my personal belief that music rights costs to both of these songs are what have kept seasons 4 and 5 of Taxi from being released. I presume that the sales and profit margins on the first three seasons...

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (FEEDBACK)

    Perhaps I am the only one concerned about this particular issue, but while the less than great mastering is problematic, I have dozens if not hundreds of sub-par transfers in my collection. I find that I can live with those well-enough, if I regard them through the prism of how I often saw the...

    MGM; Please release the rest of your horror library

    I second everything you said, Alan... As a matter of fact, I was watching the recent Sony Icons of Horror/Hammer release last night and thinking what a nice package of four pretty good old-school horror films. And all of this from Sony, no less - not exactly the best studio typically when it...
