I bought two copies of MST3K the movie when I first heard it was going out of print. I sold the second awhile back for about $45 (paid $10). I should have held out or tried to trade for This Island Earth which I really want now.

I bought the Swamp Thing DVD at a used CD store immediately after it went OOP. I watched it, cringed at the awful story, goggled at the lovely boobies and sold it at a nice profit.

I do have the Fight Club 2 discer, but I'd wager that'll come back eventually.

And I intentionally sought out the Basic Instinct Icepick case.

I bought mine from DVDEmpire a few months back when they started their "Christmas" sale.

Robocop (Criterion)
Rock (Criterion)
MST3K: The movie

MY OOP Criterions were bought sealed after they went out (Silence and Unbearable Lightness) or right before (Rebecca.)

The one thing I picked up just in the course of building my collection that's since become somewhat sought after is the 2 disc Big Trouble In Little China.

ditto...plus a few more others.

Black Rain (S. Imamura not Ridley Scott)
Martin
Liquid Sky
Double Indemnity
Slaughterhouse Five
Frankenhooker
The Funeral
The Bride Wore Black
The Tin Drum
Pixote

Salo Criterion which I bought for under $10 and sold a few months ago for $850.

Yeah, I got that one too, but I didn't concider it to big a deal since I picked it up less than a year ago at Costco, where they had TONS of them, long after it was OOP.

Not much really that i can think of other than:

I Drink Your Blood
The Ultimate Toybox
Silence Of The Lambs CC

and now that December 31 2003 has passed i guess i can add these to the list.

Brain Damage LE
Straw Dogs CC

I have a few DVDs that have since unfortunately gone out of print. Among my favorites must be from the Universal Classic Monsters collection. The films are fun, and the special features were exceptionally well done. If I had to pick my favorite movie from that bunch it would be "Bride of Frankenstein."

But, according to the Criterion Collection web site, I just found out that my favorite movie which I thankfully have on Criterion DVD is now out of print: "Notorious" (1946). So that gets my final vote.

I don't buy OOP dvds. I only buy OAR. :)

Mine, up until recently, would have been Tati's Hulot 'trilogy'. But now it's Charade: CC and Silence of the Lambs: CC. Now that it's OOP I would also include Straw Dogs: CC.

I sold my copy of This Island Earth for $261, which was nice.

I still have a bunch of Universal/Image titles like Double Indemnity and MST3K The Movie.

Also Ball of Fire, The Tin Drum, Hard Boiled CC, The Jazz Singer, Fire Over England, The Hurricane, all the Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection titles...

Little Shop of Horrors w/original ending. It was in the process of being recalled but the guy let me have it anyway.

I have lots of OOP DVDs but my prize is the original pressing of Little Shop of Horrors with the alternate ending. I was lucky enough to pick this up during the twelve hours or so it was in print.

I would sat my Little Shop Of Horrors DVD with the added material and different ending is my most cherished of DVDs.

After that probably FIGHT CLUB and Spinal Tap Criterion

Is BRAZIL Criterion OOP? If so, add that to my list.

Is there a listing anywhere of OOP DVDs? If not, maybe someone here should start one.

I would have to say The Rock CC, and my favorite DVD...Halloween 2 disc LE. I will never part with that DVD.

i love my Charade CC dvd and Toy Story set. :D


surprised no one has mentioned the original fight club dvd! (scratch that, i's surprised so few on THIS site have listed fight club ;) )

Maybe people just remembered the first rule ;)

Toy Story 2 pak
Little Mermaid
Lady and the Tramp

Woah, I had no idea <b>Lady In White</b> was out of print! I picked it up about a year ago after giving up on waiting for a price drop... I can't believe it's going for $80 on Ebay! I may have to decide how much I want to have it in my collection now!

Ultimate Toy Box (Bought it the day Disney OOPed it)
20th Anniversary Ediiton of Alien (Has a number of features that aren't on the Quad/2 Disc Alien set)
Punch-Drunk Love 2 Disc - I'm more than sure this is OOP, I haven't seen many copies left anywhere.
Traffic: CC (There are still copies avaliable at some stores, but I keep hearing that it's OOP)

I did get the Meaning of Life when the Image disc was OOP at a store for 6 bucks a couple of years ago...

Found about 4 each of They Live and MST3k the movie @ my local borders.Ebayed them off for about 40-50 apiece.:D

They Live is OOP?

I saw a few of these at Best Buy the other day for $9.99?

Killer CC, Hard Boiled CC, Silence of the Lambs CC, Platoon and American Werewolf in London (when they were OOP).

It was. It was reissued by Universal this fall. But before that, it was fetching ~$40 on eBay.
