My favorite film:

ADVICE AND CONSENT.

[bruceames]

I hope they have a sale soon. But, if they are on a hiatus and have hopes of rebooting, then I don't see much motivation on their end, to be in a hurry to clear stock with deep discounts, since there are no new titles coming in.

I wonder if people should jump on the other Gene Tierney films Fox released themselves (Laura, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir) before they go OOP.

Anyone who wants Fox films should bite the bullet since who knows whether Disney will make them unavailable. I've been working over the last few months to prioritize Fox owned films and will be using the Holidays to pick some of them up from some of the overseas labels.

Off-topic, but, for region-locked folks that want to acquire some more Fox titles that are OOP in the US or not available in the US at all there are certain Eureka releases that will work on any US player with the "top menu" trick. This includes titles such as "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "No Way Out", and "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". The "Pickup on South Street" disc that included on the "Fuller at Fox" set might work as well but I'd need someone with that disc to confirm.

The motivation would be that less remaining stock = lower cost to store remaining stock.

Sorry for more off-topic posting, but since this came up ...

Is there a list of titles, or a way to know which Eureka titles will play in a Region A player?

I'm very interested in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn ... didn't even realize it was on blu-ray anywhere. I visited Eureka's website and saw that there is a "2 for £25" sale going on, with A Tree... being one of the eligible titles. Just trying to find out which other eligible titles I can consider to take advantage of the sale. (Maybe send me an answer in a Private Message so as not to keep going off-topic in here).

I maintain a list of the titles in my sig:
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...&postcount=456

The way to tell if they will play is if Luke Louca encoded the discs (able to check in the booklet). For reasons I’m not sure of, his discs will work in any player with the “top menu” trick (I’ve tested some releases on four non-Panasonic players and they worked every time). There might be more non-MoC releases that could work such as “Born Free”, “Inherit the Wind”, and “The Party” but I need people with discs to confirm as those don’t include booklets with disc credits.

Doh! ... sorry for not reading your signature.

I'll read up on your "trick". I still use an old Pioneer blu-ray player. It's a dinosaur, but it's solidly built and works great 98% of the time. I've been able to play Region B blu-rays on it before, but I shy away from making it a habit to buy them ... it's a real rarity for me. But A Tree Grows in Brooklyn holds a special place in my heart and isn't available in Region A (yet), so I'll give it a shot.

Thank you very much for your help. (Back on-topic again).

Still wanting $20 for The Hot Rock and Don't Bother to Knock. With how things seem to be going at TT at present I still feel like maybe I should jump on them now, but ugh.

[belcherman]

Just started adding things to my cart. It didn't take long before I had $400 worth of blu rays in my cart. Need to trim that down to about $100. Should I just focus on the lower priced items and hope that the higher priced items come down later, or should I just grab the few items that I really want now? Decisions, decisions.

Anyway, folks expecting a fire sale are going to be disappointed.

edit: On the other hand, an optimist might infer from these prices that Twilight Time plans on being in business for a while.

Same! I just went for my top wants (Kiss of Death, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, The Hot Rock) and maybe I'll come back for some of the lower wants in a second order. (Prioritizing based upon desire instead of discount/quantity for once, hey now!)

You can at least knock them down to $18 with a 2$ off coupon.

Yeah, I like Walter Hill, but can't quite justify $20 to myself for Geronimo or Wild Bill. (Same boat for Hot Rock.) A lot of the $20 titles I am gonna buy are kind of on the fence.

Just to point it out, "Kiss of Death" has been expected to sell out at every sale for at least the last year and a half. We should start a pool for when/if it ever actually does sell out.

[bruceames]

Awesome! Been a few years since I bought any titles from them, will prioritize the Fox titles and work through the list slowly.

I got Kiss of Death during the last sale because before that I had thought it had already sold out. When I saw it for 20 I though, well might as well get it before it actually does sell out and I'm never going to pay more than 20 for it anyway once it's OOP.

[koberulz]

I bought it years ago, but I don't remember if it seemed likely to sell out or not at the time. I was pretty new to US Blu-ray in general back then.
