What's new??? Do we HAVE to have a notification about this EVERY time they go down?? We just got rid of one which stayed on the first page or 2 for over a week!
Use DVDProfiler if you want something that works and something that is updated regularly! I believe, from the posts in the most recent thread about this, that most folks have already stopped using GF, I know I have!

Maybe it's down so they can update their database to include movies released since 1950.

I abandoned GF over a month ago and haven't looked back since.

I stopped using Guzzlefish long time ago.
I like DVDAficionado and DVDspot is not bad. However, I find some of their coverscans are not very good.

The problem with DVDSpot, GuzzleFish, DVDaf, and DVD Profiler is that they censor what titles are actually available for inclusion in collections. None of these will allow me to catalog Roger Corman's "Fantastic Four", for example. Or my copy of the WPIX Yule Log... Or "Lady in a Cage", or... the list goes on.
I understand that it isn't a problem that most have to deal with. But it is annoying to have a handful of titles that can't be listed.

You can include titles in Profiler that aren't in the database. You won't get all the other info, and it won't show up online, but it'll be in your collection.

Maybe they should just convert over to a laserdisc site so they don't need to update the database.
