WB Chaplin DVDs
YMMV but wbshop.com has some of those WB Chaplin DVDs in stock. They are increasingly difficult to find and places like Amazon, DVD Empire, and Deep Discount don't have them in stock. Prices for them can be on the astronomical side on eBay or the Amazon Marketplace.
Go here: http://www.wbshop.com/on/demandware....Show?q=chaplin
For instance, volume 1 of the Chaplin Collection is $47. On the Amazon Marketplace, a new copy is ranges from ~180-800 bucks. There's one on eBay for $175.

Re: WB Chaplin DVDs
Just a heads up, Criterion is set to begin releasing Chaplin titles over the next few years, which may account for the difficulty in finding some of these.

Re: WB Chaplin DVDs
Wonder if the Criterion releases will include the extras found on these? The only WB releases I was interested in picking up was The Gold Rush (for the inclusion of the original version) and the Charlie documentary. Some of the other documentary/featurettes sound interesting tho.

Re: WB Chaplin DVDs
I got the Chaplin Collection Vol 1 for $47 and it shipped free via UPS. Those Criterions don't seem imminent and if the extras on these appeal to you, I'd say go for it.
I originally thought the listings were errors and my order would be canceled, but it shipped. It's kind of strange that wbshop.com has these but practically nobody else does anymore besides eBay and Marketplace type sellers.
The Chaplin Collection Vol 1 has now changed from ships within 1 business day to within 7 business days.

I think the Warners were deleted when Albertson's Grocery started blowing them out at $2.99 ea.

Re: WB Chaplin DVDs
these releases are fantastic in the extras department, but the PAL-ported transfers aren't quite up to snuff IMO.

Re: WB Chaplin DVDs
My order for Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 came up with an additional 25% off for being a member of the WB Insider Rewards:

I think it helps if you use the same login/password as your wbshop.com account. Once you join (no charge) the WB Insider Rewards, you should be able to login to your wbshop.com account and the discount should apply. Note that you typically won't see the discount until you actually view a specific product, so if you just look at the page that shows all the Chaplin items, you'll still see Vol. 1 @ $47 and Vol. 2 @ $61.19. If you click on each item, it should show the lower pricing of $35.25 and $45.89 respectively.

From what I heard, all of it.
"Janus Films has been able to acquire the rights to the entire Charlie Chaplin film catalogue... The films will be getting new 35mm prints [and shown in theaters]... [So far, nothing has] been said about a DVD release of these films."

Re: WB Chaplin DVDs
I've been waiting for the original Chaplin collection to drop in price (was happy to see the Harold Lloyd to drop and picked that one up a few months ago) but to no avail. As for the Janus films, there was an image they had. I'd post it but I can't link just yet to the image (still a new member).
