Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
I got a bunch of those older Paramount catalog titles for $3 at a DDD sale a couple years ago... surprised they stayed in print as long as they did.

3-disc BR Criterion Good Burger on the way. (J/K)
I don't think (slight) panic at this list is overreaction. With the economy still sluggish despite the Wall Street rally and the growing emphasis on on-demand downloading, studios are cutting back on production and inventory, especially a notoriously cheap studio like Paramount. Just as many titles never made the transition from VHS to DVD, I doubt that we'll see many of these titles on BR. The Warner print-on-demand monopoly is the wave of the future, I'm afraid.

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
FYI -
Many of the "OOP" Paramount titles (Rosemary's Baby, Don't Look Now, etc.) are currently $3.95 at Walmart.com w/ free site-to-store shipping. |

Many of the above Paramount titles (as well as the Warner titles from last week) are available in either box sets or double/triple features. You just have to know how to look for things. |

Some of them actually appear to be out of print. Like Pretty Baby, for example, even though it's listed under multiple UPC's on mcarver's site. |

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
Here's my prediction for the future of classic catalog films on home video:
- The high profile films will all be re-released on Blu-Ray eventually. Knowing Warner, expect them all to be anniversary releases. Perhaps Citizen Kane in 2011 and the like. - The decent selling films will likely continue on pressed DVD in some form, i.e. re-issued or bundled with similar films in multipacks and such. - The lesser films that did not sell as expected/poorly when around in pressed form will either go out of print or go into a some burn on demand service a la Warner Archive.

About Pretty Baby -- how do you figure it is really out of print? Mcarver's site lists one of its UPCs as still out. Not sure what you mean there. |

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
Amazon lists Pretty Baby as "Usually ships in 11 to 13 days" (as of this post). This is the best indicator. If it takes more than a few days, it is "out of print". You should be able to find it easily for a few months, then as supply dries up, the prices will go up. In the meantime, it may or may not be reissued. Also, I've seen long out of print titles suddenly reappear without warning (Funeral in Berlin: out of print, then in print, now out of print again). The used DVD market is about as volatile as the stock market.

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
I checked MMM, ad there are an additional four WB titles on my wishlist that, unbeknownst to me, had also been discontinued at some point. I don't see any of them coming to Blu-ray any time soon. I'm not sure if I should wait for the DD sale, or order them now at $14.03 each. Will they likely still be in stock in a month or two, or whenever the sale is? With the summer sale in July this year, I'm figuring the winter one will be pushed back to December.

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
Amazon is not always an indicator of whether something is available or not. I've seen occasionally where they say there is limited availability and then other sites continue to have it indefinitely. However I dont know what the case is with this particular title.

And Pretty Baby is not the type of title that anyone is going to rush back into production. No guarantees, though. |

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
Second time CINEMA PARADISO has gone OOP. If you're a fan of the movie, pick it up now. When the Miramax version went OOP, it was selling for big bucks.

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
Any idea why only some of the seasons of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea are going out of print?

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
So not only have Paramount discontinued their Centennial Collection, but the titles they have released are already going OOP?

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
I wonder if that's the exclusive Blockbuster version. Criterion released the commericial version.

Re: Out-Of-Print Titles (recently discovered) [2nd thread]
It was an "import" release by Paradox and now that the Criterion version is coming out, they have to stop distributing it in Region 1.
