Re: The OOP Heads-Up Thread
Thanks for the heads-up re Dressed to Kill - ordered my copy right away.
If anyone wants to get Cronenberg's Dead Zone (another title increasingly hard to get, let alone for cheap) for a decent price, AxelMusic is the place to go (£10 including delivery, $10.73 before delivery):

I'm just going to shoot myself now, after reading this and the Paramount thread.

Re: The OOP Heads-Up Thread
MGM isn't too much of a surprise considering their financial troubles, and Fox probably can't be bothered with most of the titles I'm sure. But Paramount has gone crazy. I honestly can't believe they think streaming is the way to go now. Other than a handful of Netflix subscribers I don't know anyone that stream movies. Also find it odd that they would decide to licence stuff out instead to Lionsgate. Of course Paramount has always been questionable with home viewing, first ignoring DVD and going with DivX their move to HD DVD exclusivity (even I, who owned an HD DVD player before a Blu-ray player, questioned that.)

Re: Pretty Much Every Paramount DVD is OOP
The individual release of Kazan's Baby Doll is OOP, but the Tennessee Williams box (which contains that dvd) is still available.

Re: Pretty Much Every Paramount DVD is OOP
I think you meant to post this in the catchall OOP thread, but it's worth noting that Warner Bros has discontinued A LOT of single titles while keeping the boxes in which they appear in-print. But Baby Doll belongs to a production company that's flirting with Criterion, I believe, so cross fingersMurdoch wrote:The individual release of Kazan's Baby Doll is OOP, but the Tennessee Williams box (which contains that dvd) is still available.

Boy am I glad I finally caught up with all my pre-21st century wish list purchases on DVD last year. Jeez, you'd think with how long VHS lasted, DVD would at least have had a somewhat longer lifespan.

Re: The OOP Heads-Up Thread
It's two very different situations. There's far more choice than ever. In the VHS era, video cassettes were often very expensive. Finding a quality movie for 6.99 was impossible. Blockbuster video was just about the only game in town. There were a few Netflix type mail rental companies for art films, but that's about it. And of course torrents didn't exist.MoonlitKnight wrote: Jeez, you'd think with how long VHS lasted, DVD would at least have had a somewhat longer lifespan.
One would hope that at the very least legal downloads would become as common as streaming in the near future.

Re: The OOP Heads-Up Thread
the Garden of Allah (Deitrch/Boyer) is only $4.99 at B&N.com....just snagged that as a member w/ the free shipping. not a bad get for $5.29 shipped. Deitrich is always good fun, and at least I can rest knowing I got SOMETHING out of this growing list of OOPs.

I think most retailers still have it available but Arthur Penn's The Miracle Worker was officially discontinued about a month back. It's an excellent film, IMO.

Sadly, every time I visit this page I can't help myself from calling it the "Oops-up-side-your-head-thread"!zedz wrote:Thanks for what's sure to be a very useful thread (put me down for A Song Is Born already) - though I can't believe you resisted the temptation to title it simply "OOPs!", which would also be appropriate to the way several of the majors have been handling their catalogue recently.

Noticed that the separately avaiable The Paradine Case seems to be out of print. The other two that were released separatedly from the "Premiere Collection" are still available though (those being The Lodger and Young And Innocent).

Re: The OOP Heads-Up Thread
I would guess so, considering the prices it's commanding ($50 for this? Really?)...it's a silly little movie, but hardly worth those prices. And it's on one of the movie networks pretty regularly.MyNameCriterionForum wrote:Is Race With the Devil OOP?
