Thank you for all your efforts, it's appreciated. Have a safe trip.

Oh thank god. I can swing the one in each month I want (Bride and Valentines).

[oildude]

That looks like three 20th Century Fox films for February.

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre
Stormy Weather
Zardoz

[HorrorBlu]

So happy that Fright Night and Breaking Away are being released on the same day! Means I get to save on the shipping costs.

[onetet]

THE BRIDE WORE BLACK (1968) BLU-RAY - Jan 20th
BREAKING AWAY (1979) BLU-RAY - Jan 20th
FRIGHT NIGHT: 30th Anniversary Special Edition (1985) BLU-RAY - Jan 20th

THE ST VALENTINE’S DAY MASSACRE (1967)

One out of eleven saves me $$$ !

SVDM has been a favorite since I saw it in the theater, 1967, 8 years old.

Another DVD for the BuyBacks pile.

[wormraper]

I hate to say it, but I HAVE to get Zardoz!! that red speedo with suspenders is worth the price of admission alone

[anthonyls]

Has anyone seen BANDIT QUEEN?

[belcherman]

Yikes. I'm in for 4, maybe 6 of these titles. The two Woody Allens for sure, Breaking Away, TSVDM, and possibly To Sir With Love and Stormy Weather. TSVDM is the real surprise. Truly under-rated in my opinion. George Segal plays such a wonderful SOB, and the faux-documentary lead-in "today, on the last day of his life ..." always gets to me.

[Scottie]

In for the Woody Allen and François Truffaut films.

[Aclea]

My two favorite Woody Allens - and both the laserdisc and DVD of Love and death were so poor it'll be great to finally have a decent transfer.

Hooray for Breaking Away, and hoping that The Bride Wore Black will be the first of many Truffauts.

Nobody disputes they put out a great product, but it's the same old argument with their business model. The 3000 limit thing means either stress for people hoping to get all the popular titles they want before they sell out and/or before the scalpers snap them all up, OR having to pay a premium price for some of the crappier titles that would otherwise be found in a Wal-Mart discount bin for $5 if released by their parent studios. I'm really curious about the movie Che! and will likely snap it up eventually but, man, $30 for a film that is by all accounts terrible sure stings a bit.

However, if the option is Twilight Time or someone else, then someone else is preferable. I mean The Great Train Robbery which I bought for $15 from Kino Lorber could so easily have been a TT sellout at twice the price.

Yes, pretty much. The point is I'd rather Kino or Shout release a title because it will be cheaper, available longer and will probably contain more features. I'll still go with Twilight if they're the only option, but would prefer someone else.

In any rational human discussion this wouldn't be a point of contention, but hey, it's the internet.
