Checked out Amazon, 2&3 discs versions of CASABLANCA & THE MALTESE FALCON go for about $25 each title. These are remastered discs, pressed and lots of extras. Now we have a "remastered" disc of BACKGROUND TO DANGER, a good 3-star George Raft film, selling for the same price. However there's no...
Is this the best that the Warner Archives can do (April 20th)? How about releasing some of the old series from the 40's,e.g. the Saint, The Lone Wolf or series from the 50's like 77 SUNSET STRIP,MAVERICK, LAWMAN and how about finally releasing the FBI,which was under consideration a few years...
I have a book called THE PICTORAL HISTORY OF THE TALKIES by Daniel Blum. Looking through it I found some titles I thought would be good for Universal's Vault series. Some are early Paramounts that Universal may have the rights to. Assuming none of these end up preferably on pressed disc. The...
This is a strange way for UNIVERSAL to do business. Releasing just 20 titles in their VAULT SERIES and then silence. Will there be more and if so--when. Are these titles to be released on a monthly basis? If you want to compete with WARNERS, your going to have to do better the next time.
Does anybody know if there's a release schedule for the UNIVERSAL VAULT SERIES? I'd like to see FLESH & FANTASY released and some of the PARAMOUNTS they own the rights to.
Does anybody have an idea as to the release scheduling for the UNIVERSAL VAULT SERIES. Maybe they'll release SAMSON & DELILAH, as it's probably part of the Paramount package.
First I want to thank everybody for their suggestions on playing MOD'S on my computer. I tried downloading some files , but that didn't work. Then Simon mentioned the fact that maybe my DVD drive was worn out. I have used it a lot for burning CD's of old radio shows. So it occured to me maybe...
Thanks Simon for the advice. I tried the VLC MEDIA PLAYER, but it didn'i work for me. Maybe my WINDVD5 is outdated for this particular playback. Maybe I should get a newer version. My operating system is WINDOWSXP by the way, if that helps. But thanks again,it was appreciated.
In my case it took Warner's 2 days to reply to an e-mail, much to my satisfaction. The titles I picked up the other day were very good, but the problem is they won't play on my computer, and I'm not able to get screen captures. My computer is about 6 yrs. old. It suits me fine . Im using...
Boy am I confused, After posting that I was having a little trouble with my order from the Warner Archives, I get a UPS delivery of my 5 titles, at no extra cost to me. Not bad at all. Spot checking the films I found THE IRON MISTRESS to have the best color and an actual trailer. I have to...
well as i stated in a previous post,I decided to order some Warner Archives that were on sale. I ordered 5 titles from their Western and War sales at a total cost of $51. I was told that they would be shipped 2/4-a week after I ordered them. Then they released more war movies today, one of...
Now that I picked up a couple of Universal titles, I thought I'd give Warners a shot. Using the reward25 code I was able to pick 5 titles for $51.. the titles were WICHITA,JACK THE RIPPER, THE IRON MISTRESS,THE FIRST TEXAN and TASK FORCE. Not bad for $9.72 apiece and free shipping to boot.
Well I just finished eating crow, because I took the dvd-r plunge. I stated I wasn't happy with the way the dvd market was going in my past postings. Well when Death Takes A Holiday was available as only a MOD I had to have it, especially at $18. I also picked up List of Adrian Messenger...
You know with over 200 titles in this Archive, you'd think that they could make up a couple of decent , pressed and fairly priced boxed sets. Release all the titles you want in this Archive (hopefully fairly decent prints). But major stars deserve major releases. GABLE, CRAWFORD, COOPER...
Sorry but as far as MASK OF DIMITRIOS is concerned, i'd rather see it as part of a Peter Lorre boxed set. I'd also would want it pressed not burnt to a disc, This is one of my all time favorites and would like to see it done properly. It also follows closely to the book COFFIN FOR DIMITRIOUS...
After reading Splendid2's post today (the 29th), went into the Warner Archive myself and checked the children's section. Up popped the OUR GANG collection for 19.95, but when you hit the title up comes the real price of 34.95. This is changing horses in midstream, listing one price and then...
I agree with BORISFW. We should be able to create our own bundles from all existing titles. For starters my first bundle would be ABE LINCOLN AT ILLINOIS, MARK TWAIN, SUNRISE AT CAMPABELLO, WICHITA and COLORADO TERRITORY. Nevermind all these titles that disappear and then reappear. If Warner...
when I last read this forum, which was sunday 8/23, we were on page 88. now all i can get is up to page 87. has the warner archive discuuion ended? page 88 had a lot of negative comments about the archive is this why it's no longer there?
HOW SWEET IT IS, KISSES FOR MY PRESIDENT, and THE PATSY, were 3 of 4 titles we were asked to vote for. What happened to WATCH THE BIRDIE, which the last time I looked had the most votes. Is there a Red Skelton collection on the way?
5 titles for $49.95. Not bad at all .Now all they have to do to make it better is leave the choice of titles to us. That means their complete list. Another thing I'm not happy with the Amazon exclusives, especially at $30. These are WA titles for crying out loud, they should be included on...
How about a review of these archive titles. I know there's another section for reviews but nobody's using it. I like to know if titles like ABE LINCOLN,MARK TWAIN,SUNRISE AT CAMPABELLO,etc.,are as good as we see on TCM, or better.. I know earlier in this forum somebody mentions the BIG HOUSE...
clicked on the biography titles at the warner archive and these were included: Crescendo,Crisis,My blood runs cold, Terminal man and Don't be afraid of the dark.
I'm sorry if I give the impression that I hate the warner archive--I don't, I want it to succeed but I think it's a bit much to pay for a dvd-r that according to some posts I've read are not properly scanned. Perhaps warner should go with somebody who can do a better job. Some time ago TCM ran...
I thought that after my first post, people would see the error of their ways but their still going with these warner archive titles. Yes the titles are desireable, the Gable's, the jolson's, the Garfields and many others . But they all deserve to be better than vhs quality and definitely not...
I'm new at this so you'll have to excuse me if i seem a little nervous. I've been collecting films since 1961, it started with 8mm and went through every format since then. I've always insisted that the quality of these films were worth what i was paying for. Now warner's has released some...
