Add KANGAROO JACK: G'DAY USA to the list.

You also misread my reply.

WB is known as the official SNAPPER company to all of us DVD fans and only started putting their new releases in keepcases within the last few months.
Some people out there may have held out purchasing newer WB titles since they weren't sure what case they were released with.
The last months of 2004 were the official death knell of the snapper and many of the releases here were on the bubble.

Columbia
 

My special edition of Taxi Driver is still in a snapper.
Now of course it's in a keep case, has been for some time.
It's a Columbia release, so this might not be on the list...

I hope Caddyshack and Willy Wonka are re-released in keepcases.

Will you actually rebuy the DVDs in order to have the discs in keep case?

Where did you find

Detroit Rock City?

Warner Bros are due to release a Busby berkely musicals DVD Box Set I believe, does anyone out there have a release date?

New Line just put

In Love and War

with Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell in a keepcase.
There at Besy Buy

I'd buy Superman 1 and 2 again for the keepcase. And it wouldn't hurt em to make Superman a 2-Disc set, oh I hate DVD-18's!

You can take Superman, Batman and The Fugitive off the list. I have yet to see them in keepcases and as far as I know, besides North by Northwest, Warners hasn't rereleased any of their movies in keepcases.

Please add Menace II Society on the list of movies now in Keepcases. Saw it at Best Buy today.

Anybody find The Cell, Pleasantville, Wag the Dog, Dark City yet?

Saxon

Nope, haven't seen any of those yet. I'm looking for those as well.

It wasn't any good of a movie but, at Walmart I saw Lawn Mower Man 2 in a keepcase.

chileorgullo said he found Detroit Rock City in a keepcase, but haven't heard back from them

They did rerelease Strangers on a Train

Not the same thing, though... Strangers was a brand new 2-disc SE. North by Northwest didn't change from the previous edition.

North By Northwest remains the only WB disc that I'm aware of that has gotten a keepcase version to replace the snapper, without getting a new DVD edition (ala Strangers on a Train, Goodfellas, etc.)

bboisvert, according to the list, there are now several, such as SUPERMAN 1 & 2, CONTACT and THE FUGITIVE...

REVISION: Of course, upon closer reasing of prior posts, this is still unconfirmed so, for now, never mind... ;)

:)

Exactly. I imagine that if that were true, it would not only be confirmed by others, but we'd also be seeing duplicate posts "I got SuprMan in a keepcase!!11111" etc.

But I'd love to be proven wrong... I'd grab all 4 of those to replace the snappers.

Word!

Hey you guys should buy New Line stuff in Canada...they're releasing under Alliance Atlantis, and they're allowed to change the casing if they want...so all 3 Austin Powers, both Rush Hours, Wedding Singer, Dumb and Dumber, American History X, Blades....well just name it and you got it..

In the US, all of these titles are now available in Keepcases as well. Some other titles are The Mask, Friday Trilogy, Final Destination, Boiler Room, & Menace II Society.

I just bought at Best Buy

Love & Basketball

in a keepcase. They had 3 of them.

So American History X and The Wedding Singer have been confirmed by multiple sightings, correct? And you can add The Philadelphia Story: SE to the list as well (btw, I agree with the argument that it doesn't make sense to list titles that have always been in keepcases like Terminator 3, Dial M for Murder, etc., only those which were formerly in snappers/digipaks and have either been repackaged in a keepcase or have been re-released as a new SE/CE in a keepcase. Why would anyone be wondering about a brand new WB/New Line/HBO title - there's only one packaging, and you can't be confused if there is no other version floating around).

Just so you know, The Philadelphia Story, Terminator 3, Dial M for Murder have always been in a keepcase.

The earlier New Line, HBO, MGM and WB were first released in snapper cases. This thread is to report dvds that have now been released in keepcases.

The original single-disc edition of The Philadelphia Story was, and still is, in a snapper. As for Terminator 3 and Dial M for Murder, re-read my post again - I was saying that they shouldn't be included on this list since they have always been in keepcases.

So has anyone figured out what e-tailers sell keep case versions of these movies, particularly American History X and The Wedding Singer? Ive seen these in stores but I hate to spend $10 on them when they can be had for cheaper most anywhere.

Also Miss Congeniality can be added to the list...the Deluxe Edition is in a keep case.

you never know what etailer has what...it's whatever stock they have on hand. They'll most likely sell their snappers first, then the keepcases when they reorder.

You could always order it online and if you get a snapper, buy it at a store and return the snapper with your original receipt.

Anyone know if New Lines 1997 movies "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and "Spawn" have been released yet in keepcases, they are the last two in my collection of new line to switch to keepcases.

I just picked up the keepcase versions of The Wedding Singer and American History X at my local Wal-Mart. Somebody please post if you happen to come across In the Mouth of Madness in a keepcase.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've seen, New Line has been the only company replacing former snap case DVD releases with keep cases. They have more to go--Frequency, Pleasantville, etc--but I've not seen any brand new releases from New Line coming to store shelves in snap cases. Would seem they are quickly abandoning them.

Warner has replaced none of their existing snap case titles, but all their new ones are in keep cases. Don't pay enough attention to HBO releases to know what they're doing or not.

I hear you. I don't think flipper discs should have ever been created in the first place. But that's me. I'm sure there are those who like them. *shiver* :) Personally, I would take two single-sided, dual-layered discs over one dual-sided, dual-layered disc any day. I love when a disc is single-sided, and has a label.

I already have Superman: The Movie - Special Edition (why don't they actually say "Special Edition" somewhere on the box?), but with news from Warner that they're planning to revisit the entire series after the legal issues are dealt with (concerning Superman 2, I imagine), I eagerly await a new boxed set. Hopefully the original DVD-18 will be converted to a couple DVD-9s.

--THX

Actually a lot of companies were using snappers way back when and then abandoned them. I used to have Taxi Driver (a Columbia Tristar DVD) in a snapper and also Dreamscape (an Image release). And Warner has replaced one former snapper: North By Northwest (same DVD, not a new SE).


You may not get the extended cut that's on the current Superman DVD, though. WB was sued over the inclusion of the extra footage and may not be able to include it on future releases.

Just saw City by the sea in a Keep Case...that's another WB title that made it to Keep Case without having a special edition version..

In a case of the complete opposite, Thursday we got in some Warner Bros. titles at work and the new Special Edition of The Iron Giant, which was originally released earlier this year in a keepcase was actually in a snapper. We got about 3 copies of it like this. I couldn't believe it. Is this a first?

K

Oh yeah, and to stay on topic, we got The Astronaut's Wife, Don Juan DeMarco and A Nightmare On Elm Street recently. I'm tempted to rebuy the first two and possibly the third, especially since they're fairly cheap... Decisions, decisions.

K

are you in the US? If so where and what store did you see it at?

Another one for the list is Brigadoon. The 2000 Warner edition was in a snapper and the new 2005 edition that's included in the Classic Musicals Collection box set comes in a keepcase. The original 1997 MGM edition was released in both a snapper and a keepcase too.

actually no, I'm from Canada and I was quite surprised when I saw that one..

I think that Canadian releases are slightly different. No Warner Bros releases in the US have been spotted in keepcases that were previously in snappers. There have been plenty of New Line releases but no WB releases except for North By Northwest.

The closest thing is that Cornelius spotted The Iron Giant SE which was previously released only in a keepcase in a snapper but this could be cuz it was first produced in a snapper but then those were put aside since they were pretty much abandoning the snapper (the early pictures of it were as a snapper).

I think that an earlier poster spotted some other WB titles in keepcases that were previously in snappers like Superman but I think that he was in Canada as well.

Except for North by Northwest, you mean. And there's also all those Blockbuster and Hollywood Video exclusives that you can often buy from their Previously Viewed section.

you're right, I edited my original post.

Also, the copies at Hollywood Video don't even have UPC codes on them if I remember correctly.

My Wal-Mart has Nightmare on Elm Street in a keepcase.

I found Heaven's Prisoners at The Virgin Megastore in Downtown Disney

Just seen Enemy of the State in a keepcase too...if I recall last time I saw it, it was a snap one..
