I'm sure I told this story a million times before, but I worked at Sam Goody from around late 2001 to late 2002, and I can vividly remember the covers of various out of print wwf DVDs: WrestleMania XV, WrestleMania 2000, WrestleMania X-Seven, and everything in between. I even remember opening up a box of DVDs, seeing The Rock facing off against Hulk Hogan, and asking a co-worker (who was into wrestling, "The Rock fought Hulk Hogan?"

Only about three or four years later, they would all be ridiculously out of print, and I'd kill to get them new and sealed. Luckily, I was able to get WM 2000, X7, and X8, but I paid a lot more for those last two than I would have in 2002.

This.

I have quite a few OOP titles and have purchased a few. Right now, I'm trying to get the OOP releases of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The amount that Vol. 9 and (sometimes) Vol. 10 fetch on eBay is crazy!

This is being released again soon by Discotek. While I have the old Image disc (one of my best blind buys ever), I cannot wait for the new remastered DVD. I've stopped buying DVDs for the most part, but this will be mine.

A movie I sold and purchased again recently after learning it is OOP is Manji (Japanese movie directed by Yasuzo Masumura).

It was distributed by MGM and is OOP. Every site I've been to has said this in some way: "This item has been discontinued by the manufacturer."

There is a Gene Hackman Triple Feature still in print though, that includes this title.

EDIT: It appears that, according to Amazon.com, both versions (2) of Mississippi Burning "has been discontinued by the manufacturer."

easily the disney vault classics beauty and the beast, tarzan etc

About a year ago there were ALOT of OOP dvds that I needed but I started trading or reselling other OOP dvds(that I could find) and using that money or dvd to get ones I needed. I still need a few WWF/WWE dvds and a few regular dvds, like Night of the Demons, Gamera 3, I've Been Waiting for You, Cabin by the Lake and the Humanoids from the Deep remake. I no longer pass on a older horror movie that I want, because if I do it usaully goes OOP the next month it seems. Night of the Demons comes to mind, also Quicksilver Highway.

I have a lot of DVDs that are now OOP, so I feel good about picking them up in Chinatown when I did. I've reviewed a lot of Hong Kong and Japanese DVDs on Amazon and they invariably say "currently unavailable" or "this item has been discontinued by the manufacturer" not long after I've posted the review.

These are the only ones I can think of at the moment.

French Connection - 5 Star Collection
Rebecca - Criterion
Notorious - Criterion
My Fair Lady - 2 Disc Special Edition
Wuthering Heights
The Gold Rush - The Chaplin Collection
Modern Times - The Chaplin Collection
City Lights - The Chaplin Collection
Fantasia - 60th Anniversary
Toy Story - 10th Anniversary 2 Disc set
M*A*S*H - 5 Star Collection

Not quite. It's $19 used, 110 new. :/

Maybe now, but my post was accurate when I first posted it.

I can't believe all those Anchor Bay DVDs go out of print so fast.
I bought most of these for like $3.03 ($6.06 B1G1FREE) from DD.com
The All Nighter
The Amy Fisher Story
The Angel Collection (Angel / Avenging Angel / Angel III)
Candy
The Car
The Cheerleaders Collection (Cheerleaders/Revenge of the Cheerleaders/Swinging Cheerleaders)
Dutch
FM
Folks!
The Happiest Millionaire
The Heartbreak Kid
Mischief
Moving Violations
Rhinestone
Silent Night Deadly Night / Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2
Witchboard (the one I never got)
The Witches

You can still find those SEs. While they aren't labeled as part of the "Five Star Collection," the disc content is the same.

"It's like Home Alone with Bart Simpson." First of all no it's not, second can you get any more early 90's name drops in there?

What do you expect from a stoner?

Little Shop of Horrors Special Edition. I finally gave in and bought it for $30 last week.

"Jude," based on the Thomas Hardy novel "Jude the Obscure," directed by Michael Winterbottom and starring Kate Winslet and Christopher Eccleston.

Doctor Who fans might be interested in the fact that this movie also has David Tennant in it, and is the only time he and Eccleston share a scene.

The DVD was non-anamorphic (unfortunate, as this film has Kate's best nude scene) and was released by USA/Polygram and went out of print very quickly when the studio changed hands.

As Criterion has released "Last Days of Disco" (same studio, also went out of print under the same circumstances), I'm holding out hope that Criterion puts this out.

The Entity. Went from 6.00 to nearly 30.00 overnight after going OOP. Fortunately I got Night of the Demons right before the same thing happened.

Is this all you people think about?!

In June I finally found a copy of FM at a pawn shop for three bucks. It wouldn't play in any of my dvd players. I cleaned and resurfaced it still no luck. Then last week I found another copy at a different pawn shop. Same exact problem. I guess I was never meant to own this movie.
I had no idea Night Of The Demons was OOP. I just saw a copy at my local B&M record store.

Clearly you haven't seen Kate Winslet in Jude.

That's crazy. Over the past couple months I've run across that film twice used at local stores.

One had it for $10 and the copy I picked up a couple months ago was $3.95 at another. It pays to be around stores that don't price used DVD's based on Ebay prices.

As for OOP DVD's I would've bought:

August Underground: Snuff Edition
The Killer: Criterion Collection
Hard Boiled: Criterion Collection
Final Exam
Drive-In Cult Classics: Vol. 4
Sorority House Massacre 1 & 2
Internal Affairs Box Set (9 Discs)

I had no idea it was OOP and worth some serious cash. I'll have to sell mine tonight!

Just recently got $75 for my copy of FM. Used.
