The Reaper

I thought about getting Happy Birthday To Me but wasn't the music replaced in it, or am I thinking of another title?

Don M

Forget my last post. I just received the confirmation email.

Ordered:

SPIDER
CALIFORNIA SPLIT
BAADASSSSS!
SAFE
FAT CITY
BONJOUR TRISTESSE

I also highly recommend The Man Without a Past, which I haven't seen anyone mention.

MovieExchange

It looks like more titles were added since the sale was originally posted here, so if you checked it out within the first hour or so, go back and look again.

Yep, it was. I looked on Amazon and it said it was replaced with 80's electro music or something like that. Took that right out of the cart.

I also did not get Happy Birthday To Me due to the music issue.

T.Bickle

I recommend Returner for all of the SciFi fans.

The Reaper

I wish Curse Of The Demon/Night Of The Demon was a part of this sale. I've been waiting forever for a price drop on it.

ernestrp

So many I already had:

3 orders so far:

WATERMELON MAN
TOKYO JOE
THEY CAME TO CORDURA
MAN & BOY
SIROCCO

MAN CALLED SLEDGE, A
WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
MATINEE IDOL/AMERICAN

See No Evil
Obsession
BAADASSSSS!

I've actually been wanting to get that film for a while so I snatched it up.

Al Padrino

Doing a little preparation, are we?

grem458

Nil by Mouth for me. Been waiting for a while for a drop on it.

reviewers on amazon say divorce american style is a modified print so I'm avoiding it.

Read something similar here on DVDTalk. I ususally try to research my blind buys. Good call.

I'm having a really hard time narrowing it down to 5 titles.

Also, I highly recommend Good Bye, Lenin! If I didn't already own it, I'd be all over it.

Wow, I've been waiting for MYSTIC MASSEUR to drop in price for a LONG time. I'll happily take it for $6. It's been over $20 everywhere else.

Thank you g.
Ordered and now will cancel Divorce American Style.

Big Dave

The review on "Innocence" also mentions a pretty awful transfer, which disappoints me because it sounded like something I'd like, being a girl and all.

BAADASSSSS! $ 5.98 1 $ 5.98

The Experiment and
Watermelon Man?

oh my.

Eric D.

I wonder if we'll get all of the titles that we are ordering since we don't know how many DDD will be getting in stock.

I'm sorry but I have a hard time believing Sony will discontinue all of these titles for the long term. What I expect to happen is that they will re-release them with different artwork to stimulate new sales. Just my 2 cents.

pc95

When getting close to Walmart in store buys in price a good deal....
Buying East/West, and wondering about The Man withouth a Past and
Goodbye Lenin as blind buys.....was hoping there'd be habla con ella and apres vous - 2 recent foriegn flicks I really liked.

excom101

I, however, can't believe that that would be a particularly profitable endeavour for most of these titles.

Regardless, I'd say that there's little risk of many of these titles being double-dipped with new features or transfers... so $6 is better than $20 for new artwork, right?

There was an article on the New York Times yesterday saying that MGM's catalog was not yielding the profits Sony was hoping. I hope this isn't the result.

hurricane

That is crazy conclusion to come to soon when you consider they've only released maybe 100 new titles from MGM's HUGE catalog since purchasing it from MGM. I don't think this is the result of anything but just to move titles that aren't selling well or have been over manufactured. When you consider it only costs the average studio $1.50-$2.00 (if that) to produce your "average not special edition" DVD catalog title in Mexico (That is where a majority if not all of Sony's discs are manufactured) then you really shouldn't be surprised Sony or any other studio for that matter for selling them this cheap.
