It turns out Screen Archives has a few items not in their main Twilight Time list. Why aren't they listed? Not a clue. They each seem to have only one or a few copies remaining.

Prices aren't all that much less than current eBay prices. Hopefully that means the margins are too small for a speculator to care and a few people can pick up items they've been looking for.

Here's what's available. Remember, SAE search kind of stinks, so type the title and then click search; ignore the dropdowns as they'll only confuse you.





Is it possible there are others I missed? Sure. But I don't think so, as the method I used was pretty thorough.

If someone does luck into something else, let us know about your treasure!

I imagine someone will wonder, so I'll note that the one I grabbed for myself was The Roots of Heaven. I saw Pony Soldier there as well, but it's gone now.

Good luck!

Picked up Experiment In Terror. Surprised I didn't already have it. Thanks for the heads up.

Probably.

Assuming most of the wanted OOP titles are priced either 29.95 or 19.95 -- I can filter by Bluray, High to low, 100 per page

About 1.5 pages at 34.95
Around 800 items to skim through at the 29.95 level. Still tedious since you sort of have to know the catalog by heart.
Around 250-300 19.95 items

There are 200 +/- OOP titles so searching 1 by 1 even cut/paste seems to be even harder, but possible

I've tried various search terms without any success -- even based on the SAE catalog ooptwilightxx-BR internal label didn't seem to help

I did see Experiment in Terror had around 12 copies and a couple had quite a few more so seems like some are certainly more than a Collector selling back a random group of items. I didn't find any others just by scanning the price list though


From the above list: Copies left either 19.95 or 29.95 prices. Bite the Bullet was one of the few 34.95 titles so it's still a premium
1 BELOVED INFIDEL (1959) 19.95
1 DISAPPEARANCE (1977), THE 29.95
1 MR. HOBBS TAKES A VACATION (1962) 29.95
1 OLIVER! (1968) 29.95
2 BITE THE BULLET (1975) 34.95
3 REMAINS OF THE DAY (1993), THE 19.95
8 SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE (1993) 29.95
12 EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (1962) 29.95
28 WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT (1964), THE 19.95
50 BELIEVERS (1987), THE 19.95
50 VANISHING (1993), THE 19.95

[UnionJackMix]

Thank you, I shall try some of the above, and maybe create my own wanted list. Except that as time goes on I want more and more blind titles so there's not much I'd want to own.

I didn't take Experiment In Terror and I have the Indicator version, although not the LE version.

I'm surprised that Sleepless in Seattle is still asking full price now that Sony has released their own copy. For completists and film score lovers*, I guess.

* Honestly, I don't remember the music from this movie.

[HaroldnMaude]

World of Henry Orient is totally worth getting if you don't have it. The two girls give great performances, and for both this was pretty much the only major film they did.
Edit: Well I thought I had all the TT titles I needed, but I don't have Mr Hobbs, so glad that someone who knew it was hidden on the site spoke up. (Many thanks TheHistorian).
The only other inexpensive option right now for that film seems to be a likely bootleg Spanish edition offered on ebay.
Also just finally got around to watching the Kino set of French OSS 117 films and wanted to see more from Seattle's own Kerwin Mathews, so ordered the couple of his films left, even though they're not super my thing (Gulliver & Pirates of Blood River). Not a lot of info on him online since his death. Seems he spent his last years selling antiques in San Fran with his husband.
Also, I don't remember seeing Stagecoach (1966) on the lists in the previous months, or if I just glossed over it? Anyways it is on its way now.

Have you actually watched the movie? The score of Sleepless In Seattle is what makes half of the movie, and with the stellar performances of that legendary cast it's saying something!
And it's the only reason why I chose to get the TT release.

I admit it has been a while. An ex-gf was a big fan so I saw it several times back in the day, but I don’t remember the music. Maybe I should spin up my TT disc again and refresh my memory.

Just a heads-up,

Hamilton Books just listed a bunch of TT titles, here's the list of everything that dropped tonight. TT's are in the $7-$12 brackets but some have sold out already:

Guess we now know where that left over stock went.

[UnionJackMix]

So once I again I miss out on Tony Rome / Lady In Cement.

Thanks for the tip. I thought I was totally done with Twilight Time, but I picked up The L-Shaped Room and Take a Girl Like You. I also picked up two Anthony Mann / Robert Ryan films, Men in War and God's Little Acre.

[TheHistorian]

Kiss of Death was surprising to see there. I thought I got the last one on the July 1 sale.

Lots of surprises.

I see virtually everything I ordered on the first day of the Closing Sale.

Could have saved even more by waiting it out apparenlty.

I saw your post, which prompted me to check out the Hamilton Books link. I didn't see any Twilight Time titles that I felt a need for (that I didn't already own), but I did spring for a few Olive releases. The low cost was too hard to pass up.

I ordered the 2 Olive releases you mentioned, plus The Big Combo.

Don't know where the info came from, but someone started a thread that says Sony is putting out a new edition of Picnic on Oct 20, 2020.
Hopefully this means that some of the other OOP Sony owned titles from TT will get new editions as well. The Sony titles were some of the best looking remasters in the line.

That's good to hear. I still have to get around to buying Bell, Book, and Candle.

[AdmiralNoodles]

Managed to get what I wanted during the closing sale. Both through Twilight Time and SAE.com. Was fun while it lasted and I understood, mildly, about the delays in shipping peoples orders.

Thanks for the tip, it was about time I purchased Dragonwyck and my last interest title from TT.

Anyone know how "low quantity" Garden of Evil is?
