My guess is yes, the MGM titles that are not already distributed by WB will disappear.

FWIW, the last DVD labeled "MGM" that appeared at Columbia House was Some Like it Hot, release date July 18.

Is there a way to filter out MGM titles so we can get ones we might want before they disappear?

Does anyone have a list of the MGM releases that are two-disc sets?

Not to my knowledge. You can look at the last April run of Alfb's dataminer: http://webpages.charter.net/alfb/CH/

That can be sorted by studio. But the problem is that some older MGM titles are released by WB and those can be expected to stay at Columbia House. The ones that were distributed by Sony, and now Fox, might be going away. Or they might not. I really don't know an easy way to distinguish between them nor do we know that just because Fox has is distributing the titles they won't allow them to be sold at CH. It is a possibility that a contract with MGM could carry over to Fox.

Sorry, this will just have to be a "wait and see". With obscure titles they might be around for quite awhile. Or CH could hold a fire sale, as they did with Disney and Fox titles a few years ago.
