I'll be picking this up. I've always heard such great things about this but I never got around to watching it.

I'm a sucker for Oscar winners.

captainjoe · 02-01-2013, 05:35 PM

This movie deserves a wide release

filmmusic · 02-01-2013, 05:43 PM

WOW! I thought that that was released already!
How come it gets a limited edition? i thought so too that it needs a wide release.

Anyway, I'll buy this for sure too!
I cry my eyes out every time I see it..

This is the one with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington? I'll get it if the price isn't ridiculous.

+1 Would be a blind buy for me

It's going to be $29.95 because it's a Twilight Time Exclusive.

I'll say it right now. This is such a great outstanding film and deserves so much more then to be pimped out to TT for an obscure limited release mantel. What a crock of BS.

MifuneFan · 02-01-2013, 06:06 PM

Yet another movie that should have had a wide release. Sony really has no clue at all how to manage their catalog.

Isn't it $35 with shipping?

Ok. $30, but it'll be worth ten times as much after it sells out.

HD Goofnut · 02-01-2013, 07:13 PM

I'll be getting this one for sure.

MiracleandWonder · 02-01-2013, 07:34 PM

I can't believe a movie containing an Oscar winning performance and starring two still-bankable Hollywood leading men is viewed as a niche title.

captainjoe · 02-01-2013, 07:44 PM

It's just not right no matter how you look at it. Creating an artificial demand by limiting it to 3000 and charging a high price. Sorry to take another TT thread in this direction but I just hate seeing great popular films going through these guys because more people can't enjoy these films in high definition.

42041 · 02-01-2013, 07:48 PM

Ugh. Sony

Blame Sony. Obviously they don't place much value on their back catalog. Luckily there are at least some people working there that are at least getting some of their titles out, even if it's for 30 bucks a pop on-line. Kind of makes you wonder about the current state of the blu ray format when it's founder doesn't seem to fully embrace it.

Like Steel Magnolias, I'll just have to bit the bullet because I LOVE this movie. It does deserve a wide release, though.

Extremis · 02-01-2013, 07:56 PM

F$@# commerce!

I did the same with NOTLD and Enemy Mine and I will be doing the same with Philadelphia. I wouldn't normally pay $35 for a title, but when it's one I really like I just have to grin and bear it.

Since there's only going to be 3,000 of them, how am I supposed to watch it? Anyone that buys this, would be a fool to open it. This is just genius.
