Sleepless In Seattle was a very popular and successful movie in 1993. Okay, maybe not Jurassic Park big but still the #5 box office hit of that year when all was said and done.

And no, sorry I am not going to mark for a company that sells movies you can get next to nothing on DVD for Criterion prices.

I understand movies like Christine and Fright Night that have a loyal cult fanbase who will pay $35 for a limited edition.... movies like Steel Magnolias, As Good As It Gets, Philadelphia and Sleepless In Seattle are not "cult" movies with uber-geek fans... they were all very successful mainstream movies that don't belong to a certain niche, but belong to pretty much everyone. Its a mistake to limit these sorts of movies that don't necessarily appeal to "fanboys" who will pay top dollar to 3000 copies when those movies all have the appeal and success to merit a widespread release. These are movies you buy at Wal-Mart and Target on the spur of the moment because you have some excess money, they are not cult geek titles that only have a few thousand fans who will pay top dollar to own. These are movies you buy for your girlfriend/wife/mother as a gift, not movies that normally draw in the uber-fanboys.

I am just thankful that Sony released A League Of Their Own and are going to release Funny Girl themselves instead of wasting them off to Twilight Time.

Sorry, I refuse to be a mark. Criterion and Shout/Scream Factory do a far better and adequate service of the same thing that TT does.
