What a silly thread.

I had the honor of owning Salo on LD (Criterion) which was a pretty rare title in its own right.
I actually got it out of an old "Camelot Music" laser clearance.
I watched it and sold it pretty quickly. It is nice having a rare title to help sell a bunch of laserdiscs when they must go in a group.

On the DVD side, I still have an unopened copy of the famed Little Shop of Horrors with Alternative Ending.
Everyone assumed that Warner would rerelease the ending in color but it was just a rumor that drove the prices down.
I may throw it on eBay and see what I can get, if not much, I'll crack it open and watch it.
I also have the Killer on Criterion but I'm not sure about it's "rarity".

Even though it's technically OOP, Don Hertzfeldt still has the "Rejected" DVD available on his site:

I found a bunch of different figures but the latest figures I found showed that the US only imports about 17% of its oil from the Middle East. It's not like we're getting the vast majority of our oil from that part of the world. Maybe if England got its oil from somewhere else in the world it wouldn't cost you guys $7 a gallon. By the way I filled up the other day for under $2 a gallon.

Yup, that's the one. I got a copy off of Half.com a while back for under $10. Not a bad movie.

I was also wondering how someone who pays 3 to 4 times what we do at the pump could lecture us about how dumb we are to pay what we do.

In a lot of cases, sure. To be more specific, there are a lot of sellers advertising their homemade VHS-to-DVD-R transfers as "Asian imports" to avoid having the auction closed and/or being prosecuted, so even if a fan knows they're getting a bootleg, it really sucks to get something you could have made at home, especially when you've paid big bucks for it.

Anyway, like I said, the fan-made ones aren't quite so bad because they obviously look fan-made, but when you get fan-made DVDs of films that haven't been released wrapped in an Asian-looking cover or official-looking copies of DVDs that have been released, it's difficult to know exactly what you're getting.

Wow, thanks, Jay! I hadn't really done any searching for it, since there are parts of that short that are a little disturbing, but for the most part it's damn funny and very innovative. I'll be placing my order soon.

seven samurai cc first pressing rare?

the one with the restoration vid.

still rare and sought out, but the restoration doc is on every disc, though you can't get to it through the remote menues. have to select the file in dvd-rom. It seemed to drive the price down a bit when this was found out

Just FYI, the Bitter Films collection DVD available on the page also has Rejected on it, although it lacks some of the extras from the DVD "single" like the deleted scene and the hilarious (and accurately advertised) "entirely awful audio commentary."

Hmm, somewhere in my garage I have a dual layer disc with half of "North by Northwest" on L0 and half of "Space Jam" on L1. (Packaged as "North by Northwest")

No idea if it's actually all that rare but at the time I figured most of them would get returned.

weren't there also early DVD editions of the Wallace & Gromit short films that had commentaries?

Yes, I believe so. A quick search on Amazon will tell you which releases had the commentaries.

Yeah, I noticed that -- thanks, though. I think the single will be a better buy for me, since I don't know if I'd enjoy those other shorts as much, although I'm curious to see them. Having all those "exclusive" extras on the DVD single would be nice, and the price certainly works for me.

Questions:
I have Salo- Criterion(?). Barcode #715515009225, Has insert listing 29 chapters, Has disc with nimbus cc1539dvd (D0798) code etched in, but no white ring! Disc when played has 29 chapters & removable sub's etc. all looks authentically criterion except "no white ring" on disc. How can the nimbus code be faked? It's etched into the centre of the disc? Is this real?!
The Killer- Criterion. Barcode #71555008976, Has insert listing 41 chapters. Plain silver disc with " The killer" printed with blobs of blood, all black. code etched into center of disc is killercc515dvd(D0471). It seems the only way to really authenticate a dvd is with the etched in coding...or is it? Please lend me your views, Cheers!

I'm certain that your Killer is real. I have never heard of an authentic Salo without the white ring, but the nimbus logo and "cc1539dvd" lead me to believe that it is indeed authentic.

If your Salo doesn't have a white ring, it is fake.

Unless bootleggers are printing Nimbus logos on their copies, then I stand by my belief that it is a legitimate Salo. The mirrored disc reads exactly like my white ring disc.

At least be original and have something that's not a copy of Salo.

I just want to know if this is a genuine copy, this seems to be the place to find out. Thanx to all with helpful replies (keep them coming). If some of you want "original" I also have a copy of Jess Franco's Eugenie De Sade (66 copies- hand numbered), a German 2-disc copy of Joe D'amato's Anthopophagus (2000 copies) & plenty more to all the bif's who are just too cool for Salo.
