Bargain Bin - Warner Archive Sale

FYI, for you DVD collectors out there, Warner Archive is having a "birthday" sale in which they are offering 5 DVDs or Blu-Rays for $50 from a selection of a little over 1400 choices from their catalog. Click the banner below to peruse the list.


A lot of them are from their made-to-order list, meaning that at $10 a pop via the deal it's likely to be the best price you'll find for many of the selections. By way of comparison, one of the selections, Personal Best, is being offered by Amazon on DVD for $21.99, SD download at $9.99, and HD download at $17.99. Regular prices ranges from $14.95 to $19.95 so partaking in the deal accounts for anywhere from ~33% to ~50% savings. 

A sampling of some of the titles: Cruising, Pretty Maids All in a Row, Razorback, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Spirit, Kung Fu: The Movie, Kansas City Bomber, Freejack, Mitchell, The Great Santini, Fingers, and much more. Unfortunately many are free of extras, but not all - e.g., the Get Carter made-to-order DVD is supposed to have the commentary track with Michael Caine and Mike Hodges which I have listened to before and is worthwhile. But note that Get Carter is being released on Blu-Ray next month and you can pre-order it now on Amazon for $9.99

As to be expected, there are a ton of Golden Age films from Warner's vaults, as well as some more obscure stuff like old TV movies, some oddball animation series (like Chuck Norris' cartoon) and some horror and B movies that Warner has acquired over the years. Looks to be pretty light on Blu-Ray availability unfortunately. 

My five picks: Fearless, Zero Effect, Vision Quest, The Outfit, and Beyond a Reasonable Doubt.
