I wish the Film Foundation / Film Noir Foundation would hook up with ClassicFlix or some other boutique label. Any label but Flicker Alley.

I agree with this completely and even though I sometimes feel guilty knocking Flicker Alley because I know they are a small label struggling to survive, it often appears as if they are shooting themselves in the foot by being unable or unwilling to change their methods. I don't know what contracts they have in place or if some of their releases were originally passed on by larger labels, but I have no doubt that at least a few would have been much better served by companies like KINO or ClassicFlix.

Maybe someone here has more insider knowledge of FA and their operations and can elaborate a bit on the choices they make.
