Unless you wait and order from amazon (through a second party seller) or ebay, which will then cost you more. The prices are high, but look at some ebay prices of their out of print releases and pre-ordering doesn't sound so bad. Of course this won't sell out as quick as Fright Night or any horror flick, so you could maybe wait for them to offer another film you want and save a bit on shipping. If I wanted it bad, I wouldn't risk waiting too long. You just never know what will happen with any title.

When Christine goes up for pre-order, jump if you want it. Night of the living Dead 90 sold out in like 3 days of pre-order, Christine is way more popular and loved so everyone expects it to sell out within a day or 2.

Thanks for the information.

I can see why it didn't take off, or did it?

The Flint films (Our Man Flint and In Like Flint; '66-'67) were fun, campy efforts of the spy genre. Personally, I enjoy the Matt Helm movies ('66-'68) more. The Silencers and The Wrecking Crew are the best of them. If you can settle for DVD quality, which is enough for these films, because they're really not that great, you can get the 4-film Matt Helm set with the 2-film Flint set for right around $30 on Amazon. That's 6 movies for the price of Our Man Like Flint on blu. Think about it.

I already have Our Man Flint on DVD.
Satisfied with the picture quality, so no need to get the BD, especially since it has mono 1.0 audio.

Our Man Flint Blu-ray Review

[PRO-630HD]

I will be curious to see if the film is using the dated dvd master as the source? As Good as it Gets and Journey to the Center of the earth were clear offenders in this category. These prices are way too expensive unless a new master has been used as the source.

Just FYI: Journey was from a 2009 - 2010 Fox rescan and remaster. Any perceived problems with it are from the source elements, recombined from YCMs...the original negative has been unusable for many many years. This was covered in considerable detail in the dedicated Journey thread, so I won't go into it again here, but for many of these Fox 'Scope pictures there is no longer anything better to go back to.

For me the two Flint films are welcome releases. For a starters they are region free (I am a UK based purchaser). The are not available here and the bonus for me is that they include an isolated score (which I would normally buy separately).

I have already taken delivery of Our Man Flint and have In Like Flint on pre-order. I've always enjoyed these films from being a boy and love to stick them on every so often. They are light, have a enjoyable soundtrack and James Coburn (love the guy's voice).

So I'm quite a happy individual.
