Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
This is starting to look more like a sustained clearance sale. Some titles are being removed rather than being labelled "backordered." There are still a few John Wayne titles I would like to own along with a few others that peaked my interest. I am relieved I got in early and carefully sifted through the catalog to grab the titles I was most passionate about owning.

1900 was a very nice presentation. One of my favorite titles.
I also recommend Undertow.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount

That's cool...wish I could see your collection. I started with DVD, then HD DVD and ultimately moved to Blu-ray back in 2006-2007. However, I was forced to sell off my collection when the economy went south and I was out of work. I've been rebuilding it these last two years pouring alot of discretionary spending into grabbing things up that are swiftly going OOP. I go treasure hunting at pawn shops, resellers, discounters and I scour websites looking for deals online. It's amazing but certain titles now out-of-print can be had for a fraction of what resellers via Amazon are asking. We have a reseller with multiple locations in Arizona and Las Vegas called Zia Record Exchange—they've been in business for decades. Just recently acquired both Ace Ventura titles and Short Circuit on Blu-ray. Each had a price of $7.99 but with discount points I accumulated, I acquired each for a paltry $3.99! I also like buying used because they often are traded in with slipcovers that have long since disappeared. I think my passion for collecting is growing as more people abandon the hobby....I'm guessing many will regret their decision.
Yes, I agree. I saw Undertow on DVD quite a few years ago and consider it an underrated gem. I've never viewed "1900," so excited to hear you liked it and that Olive Films did a fine job. Hoping both will arrive by weeks' end.
You are probably in the ballpark on the units produced. That's why I really went overboard during this sale. There are still a few I would like to add to my collection but I had to whittle the list down to those I would be most bummed to miss out on owning. I think I grabbed some solid titles along with a few guilty pleasures. My strategy of buying has been to put off contemporary films that aren't "must-haves" in favor of these more obscure catalog titles. I'm afraid once they are gone, that's it, they are gone.
I was going to recommend that if you like John Wayne, you cant go wrong by ordering The Quiet Man. Probably his best movie. But I see that you already own it. Looking thru your movies I see that we have similar tastes. Your collection is a little smaller than mine but i didnt see too many movies that you have that I dont.

Found 16 titles, but 15 are back ordered. Sounds like I snoozed and lost. Or maybe a win, I have enough.....

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
I've read that people who have purchased items on backorder never received their product, but I don't recall that ever happening to me. If they can get it back in stock, they will probably ship it to you.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
1900 is a great film and the Olive release is pretty decent...but Masters of Cinema in the UK has released this title and I suspect that version trumps the Olive....that's the one I'll go for when the price drops a little more. --Peter

Edit: one of my backordered BD's just shipped, although it's still listed as "backordered" on the site.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
I just went through the Olive titles again during a moment of weakness. Almost everything is on backorder...what a feeding frenzy! Is physical media really dying?

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
Over at Blu-ray.com someone has posted that the Humphrey Bogart film, "The Enforcer" is now OOP. So it went from available on Saturday to backordered on Sunday to OOP. Geesh...one of two things may be at work here. Either this is just an inventory reduction to make way for new titles or is it possible that Olive Films is in trouble? I kinda doubt that since they are announcing new titles but I wish I had the extra funds to buy a few more...so grateful I got in early.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
They could be re-focusing their releases. Sometimes companies will release a large section of titles but don't get the interest they thought they could get.
But I hope they don't go out of business.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
Yeah, one title that was on my original buy list was Liza Minelli's "The Sterile Cuckoo." It is no longer available at Deep Discount and just a few copies left on Amazon. Not a good sign....this is one of the longest sales DD has run. I may grab a copy on Amazon in the next day or so if things look bleak.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
Well, I had to order something:
Betrayed
Of Mice & Men
Secret Admirer
Stone Cold
The Quiet Man
Undertow
If any of you ordered Stone Cold, Betrayed is the perfect compliment. Debra Winger and Tom Beringer are excellent in that movie.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
Good point. I wasn't even thinking that MoC did a release.

Re: OLIVE Films BOGO Sale at Deep Discount
Yeah, that's what I observed as well. The sharpness was more noticeable with the MoC release. Such a big difference in file sizes, which is odd there is so little difference. Definitely not complaining with my Olive release I own.
