What Twilight Time BDs Do You Own?

So, have any of you bought the limited edition titles from Twilight Time (part of Screen Archives)?

I personally haven't bought that many (as they're awful pricey), but this is what I have:

Fright Night (30th Anniversary)
The Blob (1988)
Lenny
Nineteen Eighty Four (1984) [Pre-Order]

Does anyone else get a tincture of a thrill of owning a limited edition BD? (Probably not, but I thought I'd just ask).

Re: What Twilight Time BDs Do You Own?

Just ordered my first titles:

Love & Death
A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy
Purple Rose of Cairo
The Twilight Samurai


The limited edition element doesn't appeal to me that much. Just excited to own these films on Blu-ray.

I only have the 30th Anniversary edition of Fright Night. I wouldn't mind getting John Carpenter's Vampires but I hate paying the prices Twilight Time asks for their titles.

I have The Blob, Fright Night, The Driver, and Vampires. There's a few others I'd like but they are just too expensive. I usually wait for low quantity alerts or sales.

Lost Horizon, Wild at Heart, Oliver, Man in the Dark

I do, but there are still ways around that which can't be discussed here. The limitedness of some of these titles isn't justified at all either- Sleepless in Seattle was one of the very first DVDs released, but it's only worthy of a limited release on Blu?

Vampires.



There are about 15 I want though. I'll probably pick up a 5 or 6 from the sale they are running.

There are a couple of more that I'd like, such as Crimes and Misdemeanors, House of Bamboo, Bunny Lake is Missing and Fat City. I might pick some of them up during the sale. There hasn't been much recently that I have been interested in, which I consider a good thing. I get no thrill from owning limited editions. I just want the movies. Fright Night was really the only one I bought just out of fear of not getting a copy. It turns out I have no interest at all in the film. It any one wants a copy at cost, just pm me.

I do, but it would have to be something really limited, and really unique.

Just a movie I like in a limited release like these Twilight Times? No interest at their price points so far.

I learned my lesson with TT back in March, when I went on a huge binge of sale titles and new releases just because I could afford it (at the time).
Between blind buys that didn't do it for me, and seeing Arrow come along and soundly trump the TT releases in all respects, I made a vow going forward to delay as many purchases as possible to an anniversary sale.

I'll grab a few things in this current sale- but after that they're going to have to announce a title I truly care about/desperately want to keep me from waiting for anniversary '17 to make another purchase.

Re: What Twilight Time BDs Do You Own?

Just bought my first one from Amazon's Marketplace; Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia. Bought it for 30 bucks with shipping, which is way more than I would want to pay for a single title but I love Pekinpah's movies and I have been dying to see this for years!

Re: What Twilight Time BDs Do You Own?

Just ordered Harlock Space Pirate since it's in 3D and just went up for preorder today. Can't miss any 3D titles. It's hard to tell what's going to sell out right away and what isn't, but I see Wild at Heart is sold out so glad I got that right away.

I watched Mysterious Island, enjoyed it, and promptly sold it off for an indecent profit. Tempted to buy it again but will probably take my chances until March and see if it is included in the expected anniversary sale.

The previous ease I had in selling off OoP TT's (before Amazon changed it's policies) was one big reason to over indulge at the higher price points.
That off the table is forcing me to be more selective and patient.

Though ironically, now that my interest in soundtracks has been rekindled, that scramble to get something before it falls OoP is back in full force.

Vampires

That's it.

Hope to get a few more, but I'm reserving $$$ for BF deals. If they reduced their titles to $14.95 I would have bought about 4-6 of them but for even $20 piece (this is considered a sale?), they're getting pushed to the back of the line.

Body Double
Riff-Raff / Raining Stones
When the Wind Blows

I'd buy more, but they're prohibitively expensive right now, especially with the Can/US exchange rate.
