Niagara is another example

So what time do pre-orders start

[docc]

Haven't seen Leave Her To Heaven in many years, found it very disturbing and difficult to watch due to the subject matter. I remember the color photography was stunning though

When do we start hearing about the 2015 limited releases?

[Mansinthe]

i was searching for a review about Oliver Stones Salvador of the TT release. i wonder if it has a better transfer/encode as the German Koch media release (16mbit / s only)

If I remember correctly, I believe Julie Kirgo even said that Leave Her to Heaven is one of the most colorful film noirs, so Owl not alone in thinking this film qualifies.

I'll definitely be picking up the blob but out of curiosity can anyone list the title that have a low quantity or are moving fast? I went back to search for the list but couldn't seem to track the info. :/

Is Our Man Flint worth a blind buy? I've been putting it off, but it seems like now might the time to get it.

It's a comedy version of a James Bond film.

I like the movies enough that my ring tone is Flint's but not enough to buy the discs. Yet, anyway.

Every now and then someone recognizes the ring tone, but it's rare.

I had a lot of fun with both Our Man Flint and In Like Flint. They're good James Bond takeoff movies that transport me to mindset of the 1960s.

Could somebody recommend what they think would be the best blind buy decision between The Other, The Believers, and Audrey Rose. I want another TT horror title to go with The Blob and The Vanishing and cant decide which one.

[tcdrek]

FYI for anyone that prefers to buy Twilight Time bds from Screen Archives' Amazon.com store--I emailed them asking if Killer Elite was gonna show up in their Amazon store at some point, and here's their reply:

We will be listing this title and the others from the same release date at the end of this week. However, we have been notified from Amazon that they will no longer allow us to sell the movies from us directly starting in November. So at that time, unless they approve our seller application, we will only be selling them directly through our site.

I like going through their Amazon store because it allows me to use Discover cash back on purchases. Whatever.

I will say I found the The Other to be very boring. Part of the problem could be that I figured out what was going on within the first few minutes and saw the ending coming a mile away. Haven't seen The Believers or Audrey Rose, though.

Yea, I just got a notice from them that I won't be able to sell anything over $25 starting in a month or two unless I sign up and pay for all of their crap...something along those lines.

What's going on? I sell some movies on Amazon and I didn't receive any notice from them?

This is true, I used to sell as a third party seller and I got that notification from amazon recently wanting me to fill out an application etc but since I never do it any longer I just ignored it.

[Scooter1836]

So what is the time SAE usually updates the site with the new pre-orders

Whereas I, on the other hand, would definitely recommend THE OTHER out of those listed. I found it to be a fascinating and ultimately disturbing movie. Different strokes for different folks.
