I just ordered Rapid Fire recently. Figured I better get it since it's a Fox title. I really wish I would've waited. Mine cost me almost $40 through SA!

I hope Jamieson and Redwind are still planning to release Elvis' LOVING YOU, which was talked about a little more than a year ago.

I like Rapid Fire but it’s not a movie I was willing to pay almost $40 at SA. At $15 though I couldn’t pass it up.

Yeah it's a fun flick but definitely not worth $40. I hadn't seen it in years.

Placed my first order with TT directly. Picked up:

Bullet Train
Rapid Fire
The Doll of Satan
The New Centurions

Me neither. Looking forward to seeing it again.

Decided to go for these:



While the shipping was indeed pretty steep, it ultimately came down to about 15 euro a disc, which isn't that bad. Adding to the issues with the websites someone else already mentioned, SAE's search function is still screwed up. I couldn't find most titles by searching the specific item and wound up typing "twilight time" and searching the whole catalog. Just in case someone was having the same issue I've had since last sale.

Sadly it really looks like TT is just trying to offload it's stock so they can eventually close up shop. I may not have as much of a history with them as others here, having only started buying from them in 2017, but I've enjoyed each title I got from them, and they're probably one of my favorite boutique labels. Mainly because they almost never region locked, and were one of the only ones interested mostly in classical Hollywood titles rather than obscure genre flicks, mainly horror, which I largely couldn't be bothered with. They seemed to be trying to let us down easy, and most people seem to have just accepted this is likely the end.

It really sucks that so many things went wrong so close together, particularly the whole Fox-Disney brouhaha. I really hoped to buy so many of their classic films, especially Star! if they got it looking as jaw-dropping as Doctor Dolittle. Oh well...

Got an email from TT during the early hours this morning confirming the "March Madness Sale" - running the whole month or "until supplies last." Not quite a "Going Out Of Business" event, but sadly maybe a precursor to see what sells and what stock may be left.

I have quite a few TT on my list, so will likely pick some up.

Went for 8 titles and caught up with all the Fox ones I want.

[HINDIBLUERAY]

Just ordered 24 titles, to complete my TT collection. I now have their entire catalog.

I cancelled my SAE order, reordered through TT's site (thank you 2$ off coupon), and added a few more titles:


I might place one last order before the month is over. I'm pretty much tapped out on in-stock TT titles. It's a bittersweet feeling. I started collecting TT titles around 2018 and they grew to be one of my favorite labels with the catalog they offered.

Bullet Train is excellent. Wish they released more Japanese films.

[DukeTogo84]

I'm going to miss Twilight Time. They were great. I haven't ordered anything from this sale, but I did order Night of the Generals from Ebay. So many great releases.

[Gunsnroses092789]

Anybody interested in my used, but good condition copy of The Big Heat (first edition) in exchange for Behold A Pale Horse & Members of the Wedding?

[Egbert Souse]

Probably my last TT order since the handful of remaining titles of theirs I'm interested in have better editions from Indicator or Arrow, but here's what I picked up:

Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (love early CinemaScope)
Born Free (haven't seen since I was a kid)
Gloria (with Husbands coming from Criterion in May, don't want to miss any Cassavettes)
How to Steal a Million (been on a Wyler kick)
Our Man in Havana (can't turn down Reed/Greene/Guinness)
The Panic in Needle Park (want to see more 70s Pacino)
Talk Radio (just realized I haven't seen a single Oliver Stone movie)
Whirlpool (always up for noir)

[lilboyblu]

Whirlpool
Talk Radio
Zelig
Husbands and Wives
Interiors
Another Woman

Aside from possibly grabbing a couple second tier wishlist titles in the future, this could be my very last Twilight Time order too.

[Jobla]

Hate to say it, but this feels like the beginning of the end, to me. Hope I'm wrong!

[TominMN]

March Madness hit me to this extent:
