It at least has let me start catching up. I'm down to under 40 classic movies from Kino on my wish list. It hasn't been that low in years. Edit: I take that back. I forgot about several UHD 4K releases on my list (I list those separately). So make that under 45 classic movies, lol.

That one isn't a blind buy. I fell in love with it when it made its Turner Classic Movies premiere 5 years or so ago. It sure made me think quite a bit about a certain subject we can't venture into here, even though I've long been a believer in the deterrent value of said subject. One of the...

These were waiting for me when I got home. Looks like I have some Kino Lorber watching to do the next few evenings. :)

Of course. But if we're supporting them adequately now and the golden age content is declining simply because they're running short with their current licensing deals, that's a heck of a lot more palatable than what you're suggesting and hopefully changes again for the better as they arrange...

We've seen their output of Golden Age content ebb and flow before in the past. So I think like has already been said, that it's all about what titles they have available to them from various licensing deals rather than a deliberate shift away from this era. I hope that's proven to again be the...

I noticed this trend at least once before, but they rebounded for a time. Hopefully it's again just a consequence of what they currently have licensed rather than an indicator of where they're focusing on in the future.

I was going through my wishlist and saw Man's Favorite Sport on it from Kino Lorber. Thinking that I already owned it, I checked my shelves and mine is the 2018 release from Universal. Is there any reason to double dip on the 2022 release? I see that it has a commentary track which is...

I see that Kino Lorber has announced a Hayley Mills movie that I was unaware of called 'The Truth About Spring'. I wonder if it's for me. I love The Parent Trap, Pollyanna, The Trouble With Angels, and That Darn Cat. And I enjoy her other Disney roles, although they're not up there with The...

He doesn't appear to even argue that point. He's talking about what's best from our perspective.

I actually removed that part of my post about The Emperor Waltz. I slipped up and was thinking that it wasn't available on Blu-Ray when I composed my post. Yet after I hit reply, I started second guessing myself about it not being available. And sure enough when I checked out my Blu-Ray shelf...

I was never able to locate those posts. While Astairefan around here has repeatedly claimed that Kino Lorber has said that Bing doesn't sell, the following quote from the Blu-Ray.com forum appears to be the only thing that they've ever said about the marketability of Bing Crosby films at this...

A lot better than Shout Factory, lol. I tried the same route when I had a damaged case (From their own online store, even), and got told I'm on my own.

That's the post I made reference to. But it's a far cry from what has been said in this thread about Kino Lorber's thoughts on the viability of Bing Crosby films in today's Blu-Ray market. I suspect Bob Hope's films sell better than the majority of their golden age releases, yet thankfully...

It's been said in this thread that Kino Lorber Insider has said many times that Bing Crosby's films don't sell. Curious about just what has been said, I did a search. Going through every instance of Bing or Crosby that he's ever posted at this forum shows no such statements that I could find...

I think you've gotten the wrong impressions from my posts, Anthony. I'm not out to tell anyone their business or act like I know all the answers. I've simply been expressing my disappointment along with a fair bit of confusion on why Bing Crosby is a name that they want to avoid while releasing...

If we're looking at high profile visibility for most of the stars in the average 1930's-1950's Kino Lorber release, only a handful have had much in recent decades. Most remain known in declining numbers due solely to what they accomplished back in the day. And during the 1940's, one of the...

As a 38 year old classic movie fan, that's news to me that we're not supposed to like Bing Crosby. And considering that all they've released for Bing movies until last summer have been the Road movies and if Kino Lorber is avoiding licensing more Crosby movies due to low sales in the past, it...

I wonder why they think Bing doesn't sell. All they've released that feature him to the best of my knowledge are the Road movies and the recent release of The Emperor Waltz. And if the Road movies were such sales duds, I wonder why they've not been shy at trying a lot more Bob Hope. While I...

Cleared out anything remaining of interest on their discontinuance list recently and my package arrived today. :) A Bill of Divorcement aka Never to Love (1940) Driftwood Foreign Intrigue Intermezzo aka Intermezzo: A Love Story Nothing Sacred (Special Restored Edition) Suppose They Gave a War...

What's the issue been with getting The Good, the Bad and the Ugly correct? I think it looks great now, but I also never saw it in theaters (Not that my memory is good enough to know years later if what I'm watching at home is fully accurate or not). Yet the review at that "other site" as I see...
