Those are the 2 I want as well.

I like Twilight Time
The price is fine, or I'd never pay it.
I don't care about extras, if they're there, great. If not, I'll live.
I don't care about availability, once I've got my copy, otherwise, I'll find one on eBay, or the like.
This is entertainment.
It ceases to be entertaining, if I have to argue about it for more than 24 hours on a message board.

[AJHakari]

I'm in for the Allens and "Fright Night," no question.

I asked TT about the Hammer title that was supposed to have been revealed for January/February, and they said it'd been pushed back a little bit. Still dying to know what it is (I've heard it could be "Baskervilles"), but at least it's still in the works.

[StingingVelvet]

Excited for Zardoz. Not the best movie but I'm a sci-fi collector and it's an important sci-fi film for numerous (infamous?) reasons.

Don't think I want any of the others but haven't really researched them yet.

Good news, you don't have to!

[NoirFan]

I'm still holding out hope for UK discs of the MGM Allen films, and perhaps an Arrow Academy disc of Bride Wore Black, but I might upgrade St. Valentine's Day Massacre if some extras are included to tempt me.

[The Great Owl]

Nice!

I'm thinking...

The Bride Wore Black
Fright Night
Breaking Away
Zardoz
Lenny

Maybe The St. Valentine's Day Massacre and To Sir, with Love.

Haven't purchased a TT title since last year, at this rate I probably will never purchase another one. They sure have abandoned their original customers - the ones who help get them started.

Really Two Woody Allen films, Two?

If it makes you feel any better, the two Allens are spread out over two months. I'm late to the party, who were their original customers?

Which I understand once in a while to make that quick cash to keep the lights on but come on were those Woody Allen movies really NEVER getting released? A bunch of his movies were already getting released. I understand the obscure stuff, I even support it but they are getting into more broad releases here.

I've no doubt these are great films and pieces of cinema, but they're all an easy pass for me. Good news for my wallet

Really Two Woody Allen films, Two?

How so? What sort of titles do you think they should be releasing?

[Kristian Idol]

I should know this from 5 years here but do the January releases really go online within days of Christmas? ("I know, Mom, sorry to leave the dinner table but I've got to get to my laptop right now!")

Probably on 24 Dec, given that's 4 weeks before release, unless they decide to do it earlier on the 17 Dec.

[schlock]

Breaking Away, Lenny, Fright Night upgrade (even though I have the earlier release), To Sir With Love, and Zardoz for me! Keep 'em coming, Twilight Time! Excellent choices, and I hope some of these have a Redman/Kirgo commentary. I'd love a TT release of Bless the Beasts & Children some day as well. It's pretty much forgotten these days and it really deserves some TT love.

[silverlakephil]

2015 is starting out great! TT really loves Woody Allen. Maybe Zelig will be a future release?
