Twilight Time Discussion Thread

Well, in for:

The Other
Salvador
Equus

I want most of the Woody Allen titles, too, but I'm going to get the Arrow sets (II and III).

It's a mystery to me, the lack of attention that Zulu gets. ... Just sayin'.

There's a region-free release from the UK. Many people may already have that. Great film, though.

"Bite the Bullet" is a good one. There are a lot of underseen, little-talked-about classics in TT's catalog that are going for good prices now. I'd add...

All the Woody Allen titles on sale
"Bunny Lake is Missing"
"Cutter's Way"
"Emperor of the North"
"Fat City"
"House of Bamboo"
"Inserts", which I wrote a little bit about earlier
"The Man From Laramie"
"The Night of the Generals"
"Rapture"
"Richard III" (absolutely awesome performance by Ian McKellen)
"Salvador"
"The St. Valentine's Day Massacre"
"Two Rode Together"
"Under Fire"
"Violent Saturday"
"The Young Lions"
"Zulu", as mentioned above

Still waiting for my order to be 'sent' to me that has quite a few sold out titles. Just breathe...breathe...

Also, actually really shocked Mississippi Burning sold out on the site. Literally cancelled this one last minute in order to stay under budget. Hopefully TT will have a sale of their own between now and March so I can pick this up. Also I believe there is a fantastic region B release as well.

I ordered:

Package 1 (shipped):

Judgment at Nuremberg
Birdman of Alcatraz
Scorpio

Package 2 (not shipped yet):

When the Wind Blows
Emperor of the North
Khartoum

And Royal Flash.

[jayembee]

Cart trick shows Khartoum is down to 11. Probably won't last more than an hour.

[spargs]

I was pretty much caught up on TT titles... well, at least through the July-August releases, so the handful of titles I want aren't included in the sale. However, I finally bit the bullet on purchasing Bite the Bullet.

Four left now

Went ahead and got 4 of the 7.95 titles. One of them is Rapture a film that I've heard nothing but good things about on here, and couldn't pass up at that price.

Glad to see it sell out....even if it needed some discounting to get it there.

I highly recommend picking up Man In The Dark during the Twilight Time sale if you like vintage 3D. The 3D is really good in it and I also enjoyed the gangster storyline. It is currently $14.95.

That's good to hear. I included it in my order from a few days ago and it's a blind buy for me. It just sounded like something I'd enjoy, so I figured "why not?" now that it's on sale.

[Page14]

I'm happy that I bought most of what is selling out ahead of time. Otherwise I think I'd be a bundle of nerves trying to keep track of everything that I don't have but would want ... watching them sell out 1 by 1 during this sale. (Even with that, I still have a couple of titles that I'm keeping an eye on. 'Tis the season).

EDIT: Make that ... "I'm happy that I bought most of the titles I *wanted* which are selling out..." Makes a little difference.

Wow titles are selling fast and furious now thanks to this sale. A good way to clean out the warehouse I guess. It makes me wonder if they're desperate to get rid of all the stock at SAE because they want to transition everything over to their own site and only keep a token amount of product at SAE. Of the titles that have sold out so far, there's nothing I missed out on that I wanted but there's always that worry now that if one of my copies craps out I'm SOL in getting a replacement.

That's an awfully large number of discs to still be "hoarding." They'd be fools to not send over more stock to SAE at the sale price. They should at least get it down to 500 if not less.
