I think we all saw the writing on the wall, but I can't help feel a twinge of sadness reading this. Thank you, Twilight Time. You made this classic movie lover very happy and enhanced my film library immeasurably.
The end of an era, for sure. Thanks SO much for all of your efforts Twilight Time, and for your love of film. The world will be all the poorer for it once you're gone.
Anyway it appears to be a straight price change -- 4.95 now 3.95, 8.95 now 6.95, 14.95 now 11.95
I guess that pretty much kills SAE sales other than those 35-40 titles (and increasing) no longer at TTM
The 10/115 is either updating or they've changed the list again. I'm not sure what's up with it right now -- I'm now seeing 48 titles instead of 112 this morning but several that were excluded are now included. Maybe they are still updating the the New New Sale
EDIT: it appears they were still updating. ALL the 11.95 titles except Suddenly Last Summer are in the 10/115 sale. Makes no sense to leave that one title out for the extra 50 cents, but I suspect it will corrected sometime (or not just to be ornery)
I've been making use of the sales over the last few months. Sad to see the label go. I admire the "hands off" approach taken with most films - just use a high-quality encode of usually excellent studio-provided masters.
Just ordered my last batch:
Absolute Beginners
Anastasia
Julia
Peyton Place
The True Story of Jesse James
The Return of Frank James
Melvin and Howard
Items flying off the site right now. I can't even get through updating my low volume list before I have to re-do it. Either all the TT fans hit at once or there's some speculators and maybe Overstock or Indie MovieStore buyers that are scarfing up item 5-10 units at a time - esp the $4/7 titles..

It was only a matter of time and we all knew this was coming. I've already purchased all the TT discs I wanted. But I join with others here in expressing a film lover's gratitude for the time and hard work in releasing these films. Some films I never thought would see the light of day on blu ray like The Rains Of Ranchipur, Lost Horizon (1973), No Down Payment, Adventures Of Hajji Baba, My Sister Eileen (1955), The Sound And The Fury, Antony And Cleopatra, The President's Lady, The Wayward Bus, Alamo Bay and so much more. Gracias, Twilight Time.
Many I knew and never thought would hit Bluray, but honestly so many I'd never heard of much less seen and I thought I was a decent Film watcher before 2010. 90% of their choices I ended up liking so for a long time when they were doing 2-3/month I just blindly bought whatever they released every month or two without even checking and RARELY was disappointed. Once they got to the 5-6 film per month I had to stop that method, but ended buying their whole library anyway by the end of 2019.
I'd have saved a few hundred (or more) if I'd waited until now, but other than a few dollars I'm richer in the end and that's all the counts at the end of the line
An end to an era. I remember when TT announced new releases every 2 months. What great anticipation. Nick and Co loved what they were doing and it showed.
