[MovieExchange]

Just bought 18 and got 9 free. So much for me curbing spending after last month's big sale on season sets!

[ernestrp]

Dead End, an early H. Bogart title is quite good to.

[bboisvert]

Wow, I didn't even know that Teen Witch was out on DVD... that must have slipped under my radar. Great "guilty pleasure" flick! :thumbsup:

[TimeandTide]

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN
ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DES
THE TERMINATOR (SPECIAL EDITION)
THE PRINCESS BRIDE SE
PLATOON (SPECIAL EDITION)

All on my wish list, except Night of the Hunter which is a blind buy. (Hope you guys are right!) Couldn't pass up movies I was going to buy anyway for only $6+ apiece.

[Al Padrino]

Does anyone have an idea why only a couple of the MGM Midnite Movies are part of the deal? I'm interested in a couple not listed, and since they're the same price, it didn't really make sense to me why they wouldn't be included.

[jdpatri]

I had the same question about the Woody Allens. Why only Sleeper and Manhattan? If Love and Death were on the list, they would've had me in for six. Instead I managed to walk away with just Manhattan, Night of the Hunter and the Fisher King (I'm finally throwing in the towel on an SE).

[smackattack]

hmmm, i wonder if/whern bring me the head of alfredo garcia is ever going to get a new release. Dangit, i hate sales like this, i have 4 titles, cant find another 2 im even mildly interested.
Ill probably drop night of the hunter since its a blind buy, but checking it out, it looked good. Grrrrr

[Cameron]

bring me the head of alfredo garcia has not been released for more than a year....you should have a long wait for a re-release....your going to kick yourself if you drop night of the hunter...its awesome

[kenbuzz]

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG
HOOK
TWELVE ANGRY MEN (1957)
THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
OUTER LIMITS - SEX & SF COLLECTION
THE GREAT ESCAPE
CASINO ROYALE
DANCES WITH WOLVES
ANNIE HALL

All for $54.... sweet. And I recommend HUDSON HAWK.

[uhftv]

after adding to the cart, some titles come up as fullscreen versions. dont know how accurate those descriptions are, so i'll have to check up on them more before I place the order. So watch out.

[jdpatri]

And I recommend HUDSON HAWK.

I would too, but nobody should listen to me.

[flee]

How you going to recommend hudson hawk?

[jdpatri]

As one of the Top 5 Dumbest Movies I Really Like. Also on this list is:

Oscar
Weekend at Bernie's
Police Academy III
UHF

[Cornelius1047]

Some in my cart say: "* This item is currently not in stock and will ship as soon as it is available."

Others say: "* This item is not currently in stock and will be placed on backorder."

What the heck is the difference?

[Al Padrino]

Bumping this, so no one thinks this hasn't been posted.

[kornboy]

Made an order, DDD is great as always!

Donnie Brasco was a blind buy though. I like mobster/crime movie's, so am I going to like this one? By the looks of the reviews it sounds like I will, and all the bonus features, and being it is only $6.08 shipped, I took a chance on it! :D

Quick question.

It says I am going to get the SE version of Terminator, but the DVD Pic on DDD's site just has the normal version of it. I then went to dvdempire.com to look it up. Used the UPC to enter in on MY DVD Profiler, and the version that popped was the Terminator SE version. So I am getting the SE version then? DDD's pic is just wrong?

Also, the Terminator SE DVD cover is holo-foil right?

This is a little complicated. The idiots at MGM decided to take out the special features on many of their releases and then re-release these DVDs as barebones editions but with the same UPC, confusing every dvd retailer and consumers alike. There is a list somewhere around dvdtalk of all the dvds that MGM did this to, but I can't seem to find it. At the top of my head there is:

The Terminator
Its a Mad, Mad, Mad World
Thr Graduate
Bowling for Columbine

As for the Terminator on DDD, its a random thing. I know of people who have recieved the SE edition and others who have recieved the barebones edition. Your best bet to recieve the correct edition would be to go a and buy it at a B&M store and see with your own eyes if it is a SE or not. Also there is a SE of the Terminator with the foil and another without it, so this will make like 3 different editions of the Terminator being released.

Not sure, but ...

<i>"will ship as soon as its available"</i> might mean that its already been re-ordered from the supplier and they are awaiting delivery to their warehouse.

and <i>"will be placed on backorder"</i> means they need to re-order it from the supplier.

I like Donnie Brasco a lot. Great acting from both Pacino and Depp, Michael Madsen as a mobster, what more could you want? The true story that it was based on is also really interesting.

[ytrez]

Anyone know if Shallow Grave in 16x9? I don't think it is but want to be sure.

This is the only review linked at www.dvd-basen.de, and it says no:

http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?ReviewID=2234

even though the specs at the right of the review contradict this.

[Al_Tahoe]

Can anyone confirm that the version of Gattaca DDD is selling is the foolscreen-only version, and not the original WS/FS dual-sided release?

[Dabaomb]

just buy the superbit for $9.99 from Best Buy. The original release is barebones anyway.

[bboisvert]

just buy the superbit for $9.99 from Best Buy. The original release is barebones anyway.

While not exactly a packed special edition, I wouldn't exactly call the original release "barebones":

- trailer (2.5 mins)
- behind the scenes featurette (8 mins.)
- photo gallery
- poster gallery
- 6 deleted scenes

However, I do agree with you that the Superbit is the way to go. The pic/sound is a noticable (although minor) improvement. And I personally don't miss not having those extras around...

[jdpatri]

It's widescreen. I just watched my copy a couple of months ago.

[digitalfreaknyc]

That wasn't the question. it's if it's 16x9.

Side note: why the fuck don't they have the new Throw Momma From the Train??? grrrr....

[uhftv]

Damn, this is the first time I placed an order with over a dozen items and everything's OOS. And most are so cheap or barebones to begin with I wouldnt bother buying them regardless if sales like this werent around.
Got all the MGM 2 packs, and even older titles like The Party and 12 Angry Men are backordered.
Thought they were just getting rid of their Moonstruck fullscreens then I checked around and found out that's the only version there is!! (Decided not to get it.)

Stuff I left in my cart when this was first posted is still around, so it's easy to combine with the Anchor Bay sale posted elsewhere.

The original thread was locked, but this is as good a place to post as any ... I (finally) received my last OOS DVD purchased from DDD's summer sale on 6/24/2005 last week on 9/9/2005, a mere 77 days later :jawdrop:

Does anyone know if INSERTS has an insert?

[uhftv]

Does anyone know if INSERTS has an insert?

probably not being from MGM

but NC-17 Yeah!!

Hope <a href="http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=1032">this</a> answers your question.
This UK site has a very thorough list of most (mainstream) DVD releases and it is handy for those, like me, who likes to get hold of the best versions of a movie when it comes to sound, picture and extras. The best example being Summer of Sam. Definitely better off getting the region 2 version of that one.

[marty888]

All out of stock except for Whale Rider. I guess I can look forward to receiving one per week for the next couple of months. :lol:


So true! And seeing lots of little charges showing up on the credit card!

P.S. re: <i>"Thought they were just getting rid of their Moonstruck fullscreens then I checked around and found out that's the only version there is!! (Decided not to get it.)"</i> - just one more reason to be region-free. The R2/PAL release is anamorphic widescreen, and includes the same extras as the R1.

[Duh Vuh Duh]

Picked up Fargo SE, Rain Man SE, and Touching the Void. Trying to keep the spending down with all of the great stuff coming in Oct. and Nov. Thinking about used cars, showgirls, and something else, any suggestions?

[MGR]

This sale is really cleaning out DDD stocks. After selecting 3 titles, and having all 3 of them out of stock, I decided to do an experiment.
I put ALL the titles from the first of the two pages of the sales titles in the shopping cart, and did some counting. The results:
60 titles not in stock
40 titles in stock

So there are your approximate current odds of DDD having your selections. BTW, I immediately cleared the cart, even though I could have saved a total of $685.74!!

Why Pay? $ 986.70
Promotional Discount: $300.96

[Dabaomb]

I received my DVDs today and I ordered on the first day of the sale.

[Marvin]

Two of the three I ordered (last Thursday or Friday) were out of stock but I just got an email that the order shipped (Cat Ballou, Home for the Holidays, Sleeper).

[TimeandTide]

Ah, damn. Got the non-SE Terminator. Hoping for an exchange. Anyone get the SE, by chance?

[marty888]

All 3 titles I ordered yesterday showed as "in stock" on the email confirmation:

<b>DEAD END
THE LITTLE FOXES
VINCENT & THEO</b>

[uhftv]

thread says the sale ends 9/20 but items I left in my cart still are labelled FREE. So is the deal still good for the items in my cart?

[Al Padrino]

Deal appears to be dead. I was tempted to place an order at the 11th hour, but I got sidetracked and it was too late when I logged in. Oh well, it's probably for the best. I can hold off for the 20 percent off sale when I actually have the funds to go around (hopefully).
