But they will still be available at SAE?

Used Cars
Wild at Heart

I'm still bummed out that I missed out on Twilight Time Blu-ray of The Egyptian.

I was still in the larval stage of my Blu-ray collecting when that disc sold out, and I was not aware of its limited availability.

Maybe Indicator or some other label will get cracking on a region free release, unless Twilight Time decides to re-release it on their own.

I emailed TT and they say they have no idea what SAE has. I said then why are they advertising these as last chance titles. They have not responded. Seems pretty lame to me.

There's a small part of me that wants Birdman of Alcatraz but not enough to jump on it right now or research overseas editions right this second. Hopefully it stays in stock.

[20th Century Boy]

When is Wilder's remake of The Front Page?

Three favorites:

Rapture
Leave Her to Heaven
Mysterious Island

[rkolinski]

All of my favorites take place in Africa:

The Egyptian
Khartoum
Zulu

Nothing against the film, but it's not one of the mid-2014 releases or later titles I would have guessed to sell out first.

There are a lot of Duke fans out there, and I don't mean the Blue Devils.

Based on earlier reports, TT said they would have no idea of current sales numbers/potential sell-outs until the 18th. Still, for a mass sale like this...cheaper titles should be expected to go faster than others.

The product page from SAE is archived here.

How can I access the product pages of other TT titles that are now OOP?

Why do you need to? I mean, it's not going to tell you anything you can't find elsewhere.

[Jobla]

My three TT faves (of the titles that I've watched):

HARDCORE
MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (redo)
INSERTS

Also considered: THE ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE, THE BOSTON STRANGLER.

I also have a few TT titles that I have yet to watch, including RAPTURE and THE EDDY DUCHIN STORY.

Select a date with a blue circle and browse the site as it appeared on that date. Unfortunately, you can't go back in time and order sold out titles

Have fun!

I have many TT favorites but my top 3 are:
1. The Blob 1988
2. At Close Range
3. Fright Night

Would've included Christine but Sony decided to release it unlimited so even though it's one of my top favorite horror films the rarity of it doesn't count anymore unlike the rest of TT's releases.

[Doc Moonlight]

Three favorites:

1. The Killer Elite, but not because of the film itself, because it includes the TV adaptation of "Noon Wine", kind of a holy grail for Peckinpah enthusiasts, and very difficult to see.
2. Bound for Glory, previous release was a non-anamorphic transfer.
3. Emperor of the North

[Reddington]

Mississippi Burning - My first TT. Astonishing ensemble cast. Gripping subject matter, even if a fictionalized account. And that barber shop scene.

Khartoum - Ultra Panavision 70.

Our Man In Havana - My newest and yet-to-be-delivered TT. A brilliant, low-key, film, with fantastic B&W CinemaScope cinematography.

[G. Costanz]

Instead of listing my favorites (because there's way too many!), I'll just list my favorite discoveries through Twilight Time:

The Wayward Bus
Rapture
Nicholas and Alexandra
Zardoz
The Train
