    How will the disastrous economy affect the release of new catalog titles?

    I also think that we'll need and turn to more movie escapism in these tough times, and if the studios want to take advantage of that and release more dvds, I'm all for it! Maybe rush releases with less money spent on restorations or bonus features, but I'm fine with that...The film is the...

    What's up with Warner DVD?

    I'm not noticing a decrease in Warner's releases, but I haven't really been counting...it just feels like I'm still buying a lot. Of course I want even more, and as always I agree with CinéKarine's taste in movies... I'd buy everything on her list, as well as (and I know these are covered by...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Warner Home Video Classic Holiday DVD Collection, Vol. 2

    I just love Holiday Affair (and I love the vintage poster art used for the dvd cover) so I had to buy it. I can't wait to see It Happened On 5th Avenue for the first time...if it's Capra-esque and stars Ann harding, I know I'll enjoy it! Marsha Hunt totally steals Blossoms In The Dust...this is...

    RKO Lost & Found: DVD Releases After TCM Airings?

    Hello! I thought I should resurrect this thread, although i was tempted to start a new one with no question mark at the end! I was just browsing TCM's schedule and noticed a couple of these RKO movies are airing again this morning...but this time they're listed in TCM's database as being...

    Walt Disney Treasures Wave 7 - 12/11/07

    I'd love an Annette set.... Of course I'd love the Complete Mickey Mouse Club even more! I guess there isn't much chance of our seeing any releases beyond "Week One", now that segments like Spin & Marty have been extracted for DVD release... but I sure would like to see all the episodes with all...

    Judy, Fred and Gene in CLASSIC MUSICALS FROM THE DREAM FACTORY V.2! July 24th, 2007!

    :P I bought doubles of all the other MGM Musicals Warner's released too. :) I like having more than one copy of my favorite movies, partly as a back-up in case something happens to one of 'em, and partly to show my support for the release of MORE MUSICALS! :D I wanna help boost sales a little...

    Judy, Fred and Gene in CLASSIC MUSICALS FROM THE DREAM FACTORY V.2! July 24th, 2007!

    Yes I was kind of expecting a Fred Astaire Signature Collection too... since George Feltenstein said he wanted to release all the remaining Astaire films... I wonder if this means Ginger Rogers won't be getting a solo boxset either? (hope not, but it seems strange to give Ginger one and not...

    RKO Lost & Found: DVD Releases After TCM Airings?

    Me me me! :D I can't express how much I'm looking forward to seeing these films (starring many favorites of mine - William Powell, Ginger Rogers, Ann Harding, Irene Dunne, Lionel Barrymore), and it goes without saying I immediately yearned for a DVD release. :) I'm sure they'd sell too - using...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Errol Flynn Signature Collection - Volume 2

    I don't really see a problem with including the early version of THE DAWN PATROL, as a bonus feature, even in an Errol Flynn Collection. I think Flynn fans might be curious to see a version of the story without Flynn - even if only to confirm to themselves how very essential he was in the role...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Errol Flynn Signature Collection - Volume 2

    I'm with you in wanting THAT FORSYTHE WOMAN, Charles. :) Such a great cast! I'm a fan of all of them. And I'm always for showcasing actors' versatility in their Signature Collections. I wish the earlier version of THE DAWN PATROL had been included too... as the Oscar Winning/Nominated Films...

    What Warner DVD sets would YOU like to see?

    I'd like that Mickey Rooney boxset... and the double feature for "Of Human Bondage" would be wonderful. :) But can't we make room in that Literary Classics collection for So Big!, The Secret Garden and Anne Of Green Gables, as well? ;) Aw, let's face it...with the MARK TWAIN titles that Eric...

    Speculation about films never released on home video from WB.

    I would LOVE that! I hope the votes over at the TCM website are making an impact...

    Speculation about films never released on home video from WB.

    I agree with you, Corey... a no-frills DVD line would be much better than Amazon downloads. I really wouldn't mind buying movies that are in rough shape... better than never having them at all 'cause the studios don't think they're important/commercial enough to spend money restoring or creating...

    Oscar Winning/Nominated Films Not On DVD

    Impressive list ted:r! :) I remembered another one... WHITE BANNERS (1938) [WB] - nominated Best Actress: Fay Bainter (the same year she won Best Supporting Actress for "Jezebel") Add this to the never-released-on-home-video list as well. A shame, 'cause it's well-written, emotionally...

    Speculation about films never released on home video from WB.

    CinéKarine - "Princess O'Rourke" -- good one! Has that never been on home video?! I actually prefer it to "Roman Holiday" (which was inspired by "O'Rourke", I believe) I'm hoping for an Olivia de Havilland collection. :) Well...some I've wanted for a long time, others I've only recently...
