Pretty lame. They could at least post the list of titles and then enable purchase later on.

Some of the titles are now showing, but there is no way to purchase them via the site that I can see.

They are now up for order. Not all. Several say available in May. I was able to order THE SKULL but have to wait until May for DEADLY BEES and MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH.

Have been to the site numerous times too and see no place where these are available, even when clicking on genres.

Anyone have a link?

Yeah, it's working now. When I tried clicking on the genres earlier, it brought up a John Wayne movie. Now the genre links indeed bring up the titles available for purchase now, and info on the ones coming next month.

Just bought THE SKULL and Z.P.G.

I wonder if these will be $8.99 or so at Amazon or DDD in a few months. Oh well, I'll probably order a few now anyway.

I had to use a different browser to access the new titles. Probably something weird with my Firefox cache. Others might be having the same trouble.

As an aside, $20 shipped is a bit pricey for bare bones DVDs in this day and age. I was going to take a chance on a few of these, because Legend initially said they would be $10 or so. Oh well, guess I'll Netflix them in a few months.

For those of you with Firefox... clearing my cache did the trick.

I'm really torn... I want a LOT of these but the full MSRP plus high shipping is stinging. I think I'll just get ZPG, The Skull and The Pied Piper for now. Still, $11 shipping for 3 titles seems excessive.

I was suprised to Money From Home with Martin & Lewis as one of the titles. Didn't know it was one of them.

Yeah... it is bizarre that this wasn't included in one of the Martin & Lewis box sets.

The Pied Piper was also a surprise to me. I've been wanting to see that one forever.

Amazon has a few of these (like STUDENT BODIES and MANDINGO) for pre-order for $14.95, which would be shipped free in pairs. I'll probably only get a couple for now.

I got Student Bodies, Serial, Baby It's You and Z.P.G.

I'm also interested in the Sender and Phase IV. There are a few blind buys I'd make on the comedies front if they were 9.99 instead of 14.95

Yeah, the sad thing is that they probably would have made more money pricing these a bit cheaper. I know I would have bought 4-5 discs - now I'm waiting to get them at Deep Discount or from Netflix.

WOW ... this is indeed the Jacques Demy directed version with Donovan in the title role. Ditto to wanting to see this one forever

I wonder if they'll continue to roll out more titles.

I'm guessing $14.95 is the MSRP at retail and many places will sell them at $9.99.

Yeah, that's probably right.
I couldn't help myself, so I splurged on ZPG, Money From Home and The Pied Piper. I feel like I may have just wasted about $25, but oh well. When the others hit retailers at lower prices I'll probably get 5 or 6 more.

I wonder if Mandingo is the edited version. It is rated R, so I think it most likely is.

The R version is pretty explicit. The R2 dvd releases use a TV print,so it's edited to death. So as long as they use a theatrical print of the film. It should be 'uncut' as it ever could be(unless stuff was cut to avoid an X rating?).
