    Private Benjamin and other Goldie Hawn titles

    I'm wondering when Private Benjamin will be released on blu-ray. The film was a hit when released in theatres, but all that exists is a pan & scan DVD. There are a number of other Goldie Hawn titles that have not been released as well: Seems Like Old Times, Swing Shift, Foul Play, Wildcats...

    Growing Pains Sixth Season DVD Question

    I received my order of Growing Pains seasons 4-6 which I ordered off Amazon and I noticed the sixth season set was DVD-Rs as opposed to the pressed DVDs like seasons 4 and 5. Also the sixth season set had "manufactured by Amazon" printed on the barcode. I'm wondering if anyone else who may have...

    The Midnight Special DVD Set - CE vs 6-Disc

    I've noticed a Midnight Special 6-Disc DVD box set will be released this Tuesday (and will be on sale at Best Buy). Does anyone know the difference in content for this package from the 11-Disc collector's edition available directly from Time/Life? There is a listing of everything included in the...

    Godfather Coppola Restoration DVD vs. Restoration Blu-ray

    I've been looking online for comparisons of both the SD and HD of the Coppola Restorations of the Godfather series, but only finding the Blu-ray vs. the original SD (not the Coppola Restoration). I'm wondering if anyone who has both DVD and Blu-ray of the Coppola Restorations could tell me if...

    Rodgers & Hammerstein 12-Disc DVD Collection Questions

    Does anyone know why some copies of the Rogers and Hammerstein Collection have the old cover designs for Oklahoma and The King and I and the rest of the films all have new covers? I noticed that some copies of the sets have all new covers, but all the ones I see for sale at Best Buy all have the...

    Playing Non-anamorphic DVDs on Blu-Ray

    Is there a way I can play my Non-Anamorphic DVDs on my Sony BDP-S1100 Blu-Ray player so that they can fill the screen on my widescreen TV? What I'm getting is the picture in a box in the middle of my screen and not zooming in like I was able to do on my older Sony DVD player. Any help would be...

    Blu-ray on LCD TV

    I'm considering picking up a Blu-ray player and am wondering if my standard DVDs will look any better on my LCD TV display than they would coming from my standard DVD player. I'm not considering an HDTV at the moment, but I do want to get the player so I can watch "Rolling Thunder" on Blu-ray.

    Movies exclusive to Blu-ray

    Does anyone know if there is a master list of films that are exclusive to Blu-ray and unavailable on DVD? I noticed that Shout! Factory has released 'Rolling Thunder" on Blu-ray, but there is no DVD release except for the MGM MOD.

    Public Domain Cult Classics Collection - Mill Creek vs PopFlix

    There are two 20-title sets available for Cult Cassics. One was released by Mill Creek and is now OOP and the other is release by PopFlix and comes in a tin. I've been happy with the PD releases I've bought released by Mill Creek, but the Cult Classic collection is OOP. There is also a cult...

    COONSKIN (1975) hits legit DVD at last, courtesy of Xenon!

    Does anyone else think the film looks like it was cropped? It seems that some of the animation is cut off at the top and bottom as if this was originally full screen and it was cropped to look widescreen. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Eight is Enough cover design look awful.

    It's a shame they couldn't come up with something better than this: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Eight-Enough-Season-1/16410 . It looks more like an ad for Target than a DVD cover. I hope they redo it.

    Watching a movie that turns out bad

    In watching a DVD movie that turns out to be a dud do you continue watching it or turn it off and watch something else? I've accumulated many DVDs over the past few years and I'm now to the point of watching some of those films that I've never seen before. Dvds that have been sitting in my...

    Defective Disc in Large Box Set

    How does one go about exchanging a damaged/defective disc from a large box set that was purchased a year ago. I recently watched one of the later episodes from the I Love Lucy box set which I purchased a year ago and the disc is defective. Obviously it's too late to return the box to the...

    Woman Tied To Train Track Question

    Does anyone know which film the woman tied to a train track originated. I believe it is a silent movie, though the situation's been parodied in numerous films. I'm just curious to know where this scene came from originally. All I can remember is some woman being tied up by a guy with a Snidely...

    Warner's Cheap Recycled Paper Inserts

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed that Warner is now manufacturing their DVD cover inserts from "30% post consumer recycled content." Really a shame that a consumer paying full-price for a DVD has to be given a partially recycled product...and it makes no sense why they would "recycle"...

    "I Love Lucy" Complete Series

    Does anyone know how this is going to be packaged? I noticed a picture of it in a heart shaped box, but am curious to see the inside. I also read that the first season has been remastered. Was the 1st season set not remastered?

    Problems with Warner double feature DVDs

    I purchased what I was duped into believing was a widescreen release of the Warner Bros horror double feature of "Ghost Ship/Dreamcatcher". It was listed on both the back of the case and on the disc itself as widescreen. However upon putting this into my DVD player both films were full-screen. I...

    Head of the Class on DVD?

    I'd love to see a release of this show on DVD. Howard Hesseman was a riot! There was that geeky guy Arvid (who was played by an actor who looked to be in his 30's) and his overweight buddy, Dennis, Brian Robbins (who went on to direct a bunch of films like "Good Burger") played Eric the rebel...

    I don't understand the appeal of Harry Potter

    I picked up the first DVD in this series after hearing rave reviews. I hadn't read the books, but I figured I'd give the movie a go just to see what all the hoopala was about. I tried, but about halfway into the film I lost interest. I don't think this was due too much to the story itself as...

    "What's Up Doc?" SE release?

    I can't seem to find the Warner snapper DVD available any more and was wondering if there may be a re-release in the works. I recall plans for this to be included in a Streisand box set (along with Star is born) but that never materialized. Anyone know if there are any plans for this?

    Warner's Triple Feature DVDs

    While I picked up the Lethal Weapon and Eastwood trilogies (all films are widescreen), I passed up on the Shaft trilogy after noticing all the films were full screen transfers. I don't understand why Warner would choose to include the full screen transfers on the new trilogy release when the...

    Question about Defective DVDs

    I'm wondering if there's any way a manufacturer/studio will replace a defective DVD? I had just opened the 'Bob Newhart Show 1st season' which I purchased 2 years ago and one of the DVD is scuffed and unplayable. Obviously it's too late to return it to the store. With everyone buying DVDs and...

    Lord of the Rings Extended vs. Theatrical

    I'm wondering if there is anyone who prefers the theatrical versions to the extended version DVDs of LOTR. I had purchased all 3 extended sets with the hopes of maybe watching them with all the extended footage and extras and stuff, but now I'm thinking of selling them (they haven't yet been...
