Does anyone know if TT will ever release another film noir? (or any present prospects?) The Big Heat is my only TT BD and I love the quality of their product. (Great A/V, beautiful artwork, small booklet)

Film Noir is the only genre that I would ever spend this kind of money on.

Everyone seems to have gotten the same email/code, so it should work even if you didn't get the email. I picked up Picnic, Bell, Book and Candle, Bye Bye Birdie and Cover Girl. The 10% off lessened the sting of the two $34.95 titles a bit. I'm hoping they give us Gilda and In a Lonely Place at some point.

Now your talking. Either of those films would be welcomed additions to my noir HD library. (especially In a Lonely Place)
Could they get their hands on Lady from Shanghai?

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I didn't get the email and when I try to use the code I get this message:

Not a huge discount, but 10% is 10%. So if you have some TT titles you've been waffling over, this might be a good time to jump...

Thanks Rock, I will look to use this code on the September pre-orders (assuming it still works then - if not, I will order anyway)...

I think that Human Desire is a strong candidate for TT release.Movie itself has been recently restored,and i think Criterion have zero interest in picking it up from Sony.So...Twilight?We shall see.
My second candidate would be Gilda.
I really think both of these movies have good chance of being acquired by TT.
Note:They don't have In a Lonely Place.They said another company had acquired it.*cough*Criterion*cough*

I have a different code in my email so it is probably a one time use code. Im thinking about picking up Picnic and Bye Bye Birdie.

Bye Bye Birdie should absolutely have gotten one imo.
shame on you TT.

(but thanks for the great titles)

Of course Twilight Time has nothing to do with magnets - those are made by Screen Archives.

How did yours arrive today already? I just got an email confirmation that it's been shipped and I pre-ordered.

Seems it is a radom email as I did not get a code. Is it a unique code?

MEB · 08-13-2012, 09:55 PM

I have learned that the 10% discount code is only for those people that had titles in their wish list (or, maybe in their carts too) for at least 30 days. If that's not your situation, the code won't work (yes, their system knows the difference).

I have now added 'Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines' to my wish list and I'll wait patiently. If I never get a discount code, so be it. It's not a title I want all that badly anyway.

Telstar · 08-13-2012, 10:17 PM

I received the code and I'm tempted to pull the trigger, even though I have major issues with how expensive these titles are (not to mention the adding-insult-to-injury shipping), and 10% won't take much of the sting out of that. On the other hand, not sure if it'll ever get any better. Something like that $10 off $50 amazon code certainly doesn't seem to be in the cards any time soon...

rafaelsalguero · 08-13-2012, 10:38 PM

Did anyone get magnets for The Big Heat?
you think this could be the next sold out title?

I hate marketing techniques like these. Best Buy is notorious for doing things like this (you havent spent any money here in the past year so let us give you $5 certificate.... Who cares about the loyal customers). I get why they do it but it's irritating.

There are movies I've been wanting to pick up (Pal Joey, Bye Bye Birdie, Bell Book Candle) but I can't get 10% off because I didn't place them in my cart? Kind of ridiculous of you ask me.... Oh well. Enjoy the discounts those of you who got one!

NoirFan · 08-13-2012, 11:02 PM

Those for whom the code didn't work - why not put a couple of discs in your wish list, wait a few days (the coupon doesn't expire until Sunday), and then try it then?

rafaelsalguero · 08-13-2012, 11:32 PM

I hope they can release "U-TURN" (1997) directed by Oliver Stone and starring by Sean Penn & Jennifer Lopez and a great cast like Nick Nolte, Jon Voight, Billy Bob Thornton, Joaquin Phoenix & Claire Danes.

I'm guessing that's what triggered the 10% offer filmmusic.

I'm notorious for putting soundtracks on my wish list and leaving them there for awhile.
