It'll probably be similar to last year's sale, just with 48 titles now instead of 36 titles.

Yeah if anyone has a link to last years list, it's probably going to be almost identical to last years, just with a few more titles.

uh, wow.
does that seem smart? maybe, maybe not.
depends on the server I guess.

That's what they did last year, and it wasn't an issue. The only difference this time around is that it looks like the sale will be running almost twice as long. Last year it ran five days, this year nine.

There's one thing I'm not clear on. Their Facebook announcement, posted on Monday, said "Please check back in with us tomorrow at the usual time, 4pm EST, for the title list and pricing details." Which seems to say that they will be announcing the list of titles today, a day ahead of when the sale starts. I suppose that will make it easier for people to pick out what they want to order from the sale so that they can order quickly when the sale actually begins.

The only April title I'll be ordering right away is Zardoz, so I figure that I'll order that along with two of the sale titles that I won't mind waiting a few weeks for. And then order the bulk of my sale wants as a separate order that'll ship sooner.

Well they do say it will be 'bigger and better' this year. I'm hoping for Drums Along the Mohawk, Two Rode Together, Dogs of War, Under Fire, Salvador and maybe Brannigan. Wishful thinking perhaps for some of these, but I expect 2 or 3 to be in there.

This is the list of last year's sale titles:

Alamo Bay
Beloved Infidel
Bite the Bullet
The Blue Lagoon
Bonjour Tristesse
Cover Girl
Demetrius and the Gladiators
Désirée
The Disappearance
Experiment in Terror
High Time
In Like Flint
Jane Eyre
Lost Horizon
Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing
Mindwarp
Nicholas and Alexandra
The Only Game in Town
The Other
Our Man Flint
Pal Joey
Philadelphia
Picnic
Pony Soldier
The Rains of Ranchipur
Rapture
The Roots of Heaven
Royal Flash
Sexy Beast
Sleepless in Seattle
The Song of Bernadette
The Sound and the Fury
Steel Magnolias
Swamp Water
The Wayward Bus
Titus

The two in red won't be in this year's sale because they've sold out since. The ones in blue➊ most likely won't be in this year's sale because they're on the low-quantity list.

As for a perspective regarding "recent" titles go, the following titles were the only ones in last year's list that were released within six months of the March 2014 sale date:

Titus (Jan 2014)
Royal Flash (Dec 2013)
Jane Eyre (Nov 2013)
The Other (Oct 2013)
Mindwarp (Oct 2013)
Alamo Bay (Sep 2013)

➊ Tip of the hat to oildude for catching Picnic, but even he missed In Like Flint.

This movie SHOULD sellout...no disrespect to the horror stuff, but come on! A blue, messed up NOTLD sells out in hours?!

The Man From Laramie is just about a perfect release .

I agree, I got it a couple of months ago and it's one of my favorites from last years releases.

Drums Along the Mohawk, is one I've had on my wish list for a while, I keep putting it off for something else, but I would definitely jump on it now.

I've been waiting for this sale for a while. Some titles from the last sale I want to buy this time if available are:

Wayward Bus
Swamp Water
Rapture
Pal Joey
The Other
Experiment In Terror

and also hoping that some newer titles from last year are available like Violent Saturday, Man from Laramie, Two Rode Together, and Born Yesterday.

The Other is worth picking up if it's on sale.

[filmmusic]

Oh, I didn't know about the sale!
I don't remember last time: Were the pre-order titles of that time in the sale too?
(I see the list, but i don't know if some of those were pre-order titles)

No, the preorders weren't on sale last year. Just certain titles were listed for the sale

[filmmusic]

By the way, it would be great if the discount titles we 50% off, but i doubt it.

If they were, I guess that TT's income would be larger.
For example, if they are $20, someone could get 5 for $100.
But if they were $15, someone could give $5 more and buy 7!

I can definitely recommend Rapture, Swamp Water, and Experiment in Terror (incidentally, the latter two were titles I picked up in last year's sale, along with The Roots of Heaven, which I also recommend).

No, pre-orders are not part of the sale. As has been pointed out already, the sale titles are almost assuredly chosen because they are slow sellers, and it's a way for TT/SAE to move older stock. There would be no upside for them to offer pre-orders at the sale price.

I see.
Well I hope some titles I'd be interested in are in the sale:
The Way We Were
Oliver
Funny Lady
Yentl

Although at this specific time I'm most interested in The Bounty and the pre-order titles (Remains of the Day, Zardoz, April Love) which won't be.

I'm also eyeing Under Fire, but haven't seen it and don't know if it be worth a blind buy.

The first two of those are possibilities; the last two are probably too recent (they were released in December).

Leave Her to Heaven is on the low-quantity list, so it's not likely to be on the sale list. It's worth ordering anyway.
