is A Time To Kill still only available as a Flipper?

Has A Time To Kill been re-released in a Dual Layer version in Region 1 yet? I know it was a flipper (half the movie on each side) and I think Sleepers was as well. Has WB silently changes these yet? Or are new versions ever gonna come out

I bought it at Walmart about a month ago for $4.88 and it was a flipper.

I'm sorry but this far in the game a flipper is just unacceptable

It is extremely rare for a title to be reissued as a dual-layer disc. Of course, there are titles that have gotten special editions like Amadeus and Goodfellas, but as for taking the same data and reconfiguring it so it's dual-layer, that almost never happens. The only example I can think of is Image's DVD of Sondheim's "Into the Woods," which got replaced years ago. Are there any others?

I believe Pelican Brief is still flipper only too. A conspiracy against Grisham.

Wow, flippers still exist? I remember Robin Hood, back in the day, was a flipper, talk about horrendous. Reminds me of the videodiscs or whatever, where you'd have to eject the cartridge and flip it over to watch the other half.

What's with all the bashing? Time to Kill might be a flipper but at least it doesn't have too many features on it. Oh and the audio/video quality isn't really that good either.

The disc is designed as a flipper to give you a chance to come to your senses and stop watching.
