Twilight Time Discussion Thread

I'm assuming the $2/title is $2 per review, not do one review and get $2ea item discount (10 item order, $20 discount). Can you use multiple codes in a single order?


It appears several items have now sold out at TT and now are only at SAE unless they eventually push some items back to TT
Strange Invaders
Count Yorga
The Bridge at Remagen
Exodus
How to Steal a Million



From my basket this appears to be low stock remaining at TT at around Noon ET today
Manhattan Murder Mystery 19
Doctor Doolittle 45
Long Hot Summer 36

I remember the PQ/Aq being very good for what I figured was a very low budget film. For $5 I think it's a steal.

I think this is the same Randy Miller III who reviews here

You get an email after your order (although, not every order), usually within a day or two, asking you to review a movie from the order. You will write the review directly in the body of the email sent and then click a submit link provided. The coupon typically arrives 10-15 mins later in your inbox. During your next checkout, you can apply the coupon code and the $2 discount is applied to every title in your cart. I have not tried multiple codes on a single order. Never even thought about it actually. I like your thinking, though!

Hari, once you ordered directly from Twilight Time, you will receive email from them asking you to review your purchase and they will email you the coupon code once you are done.

I purchased 3 titles from them at previous sale and I only made review of 1 item. I think you will get only 1 coupon code even though you review only 1 or all items from your purchase since you only receive a single email for your purchase.

When you input the code in the coupon code, it will automatically take $2 off each item.

My order:

[Professor Echo]

Ordered all the Fox titles that I wanted and didn’t already have. At the moment my level of confidence in Disney ever re-releasing most of these, or even streaming them, is very, very low. There are lots of vintage Disney produced titles that have been buried in their vaults for decades and at present I see no reason why their Fox acquisitions will be treated any differently. Time will tell, but I want to watch these movies NOW, not in some future never never land.

For what it’s worth, my advice: If you’re interested in any of the TT Fox titles, don’t wait too long to pick them up.

I've been doing the same thing since the merger happened.

If it's $2 on every item then it's not a problem and more than reasonable. If it was $2 for a single item then it would make more sense to allow mult codes per order like a gift Cert.

I guess I must have deleted the old email long ago - I've only ordered once last fall from TT.com in 4 years anyway since I sent all my orders for years to SAE. I ordered a couple time from TT the first couple months they opened that site and didn't like the site or the shipping/packaging as much at SAE. If you have to do through the email to get the coupon (makes sense they would), then I'm lost anyway

Does anyone have a list of all the Fox titles?

I think since the merger happened, a lot of people are doing the same, not just with Twilight Time, but with Eureka, Kino, and anyone else who's ever licensed any Fox titles.

And here are lists for the other studios TT has licensed from:

Nota bene: I haven't updated any of these lists with OOP statuses more recent than when these were first posted.

That’s what I’ve been doing.

Not so relevant on this site, but I’ve also been picking up many of the Fox MOD DVD-Rs that get decent reviews and are relatively affordable. DVDs look great on my 75 inch SONY 4K set through the OPPO. And I seriously doubt all those really obscure titles will ever see the light of day again. I have a real appreciation for little known films and can’t imagine my library having only “classics.”

Perhaps the thing I will miss most about TT are titles like THE ADVENTURES OF HAJJI BABA and THE REVOLT OF MAMIE STOVER in glorious Blu. My guess is that only vintage titles the current lawyers running Walt Disney know about are old cartoons they can remake in live action.

[exzachary]

Criterion releasing Leave Her to Heaven means some of the OOP Fox titles aren't necessarily going to be buried, no? I could see them wanting the Sam Fuller films.

[Aclea]

They've apparently been sitting on the rights for years: Fox stopped new licensing deals before the Disney sale was finalized.

[noirjunkie]

As loathe as I am to recommend doing any business with SAE right now, I will nonetheless point out that The Best of Everything is sold out at TTM, and only 50 copies remain at SAE. It's a Fox title (meaning another license is unlikely at best), and it's only $4.95, so if you've been holding off, now's the time to buy.

[Rzzzz]

Damn, I wasn't going to do it but I think a lot of titles are going to be gone by the end of the month. It kind of feels like a sinking ship where everyone is grabbing on to treasure before it goes down. I went back and grabbed some titles I think might disappear before they will ever get discounted further....

[SeanJoyce]

Not talked about enough is that TT almost always had beautiful artwork for their releases.

I hope so, but then again, it could be from a deal before the merger. Who knows.
