Fox titles 47% off on Amazon
I didn't see this posted anywhere, but then I don't usually post much in bargains.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...?docId=1452201
The price on the $14.98 list price DVDs beats DDD's 20% off by about 30 cents, and if you order four or more you get free shipping.
Let me know if this is a repost and I'll delete the thread.

They also have a couple of Fox's new boxsets included -- $18.47 for the Laurel & Hardy Collection, and $29.99 for Betty Gable Vol. 1 (and if you buy it with the Jayne Mansfield Collection, you get an additional $5 off).
These Fox sets have been overpriced compared to Warners, but this brings them to a fairly reasonable level. Too bad Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto and Will Rogers aren't included.

A lot of these titles look old. Not sure why they would make a sale like this since I doubt anyone really cares for these titles.
What about putting their tv box sets on sale, like 24? Or some other worthwhile titles?

Yeah, nobody cares about old movies. They just have a bunch of people who aren't alive anymore. And don't get me started on this whole black and white thing. I can't believe they were so cheap to not use color for more of these!

I think you really need to rethink your strategy for contributing to a forum community.

Yeah, old movies are like stupid or something.
Some of these aren't even in color!

I ordered a couple of the sale Studio Classics that I had never gotten around to picking up before - The Three Faces of Eve and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, along with this week's new release of Putney Swope. Thanks to the OP for posting.
But since these are such old movies, I am wondering will they work with my TV? Because it's a color TV - that black and white stuff won't ruin my picture tube, will it?

Yeah, I'm not buying Laura till they release it in widescreen. And the whole dead people thing--they should have hired younger actors in the first place so they wouldn't all be dead now.
