Basebf555 posted:Forgive my ignorance of Severin as a company but are their releases all playable without a region free player? It varies, seems like most are region free but some are locked to region A. Depends on the licensing deal they got I'm sure. If you go to their website it will say on the description for any given release. For the Christopher Lee set, everything is region free except for Crypt of the Vampire, which is region A.

Is it based on this short bit at the end of the newsletter? What a weird way to announce it. Hard to tell if they mean someone else will be handling the shop or what

Almost Blue posted:If it's gonna be their last sale does anybody have recs on what to pick up? Warner Archive is a huge, huge line of films. Lots of musicals from MGM’s early days that I consider essential. Really, you could just scroll through their “Musicals” section and that alone would last you years. Lots of old Hollywood melodramas with Kay Francis, if you’re into those. And then more recent fare like Joe vs. the Volcano, which everyone should own. It really depends on what you’re into.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:RIP Warner Archive Normally this would bother me but I'm so happy that Rush Limbaugh finally dropped dead so nothing can ruin my day. edit: That announcement is really confusing. They just put out a bunch of new releases and I can't find anything anywhere about them closing down. I wonder if it just means they're only doing 4 for 44 one last time. There are entirely too many WA titles I want and if they're shutting down it's going to be a hard choice. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Feb 17, 2021 |

Warner archives isn't going away, this is just the last 4-$44 sale. They're changing, and they're becoming more of a reissue label, if I understand what Egbert was saying.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but what I read is Warner Archives is partnering with Universal physical releases, and part of that is changing their online store. So the current store, where they do the 4 for $44 is being replaced with something new, and so they won't have the same sales.

I preordered Howl From Beyond The Fog the second it was available, I had been waiting to see that movie for so long. It shipped in November, and immediately entered post office hell. In January SRS Cinema very kindly emails everyone who didn't get their copy offering to send them a new one for free, if the original shows up just ship it back. But I wanna hold off, I don't want them to be out copies, there were stories of tracking not being updated but people getting their copies anyway. So I wait another month and then finally say, yes please send me a new copy. Which they promptly do! It's on it's way! And according to tracking, my new copy of Howl From Beyond The Fog's arrived in Dallas last weekend. All of this is to say, I wonder what series of national disasters will occur to prevent me from receiving my copy of Monster Seafood Wars https://twitter.com/COBRAcollector/status/1362220983239782401?s=20

And browsing this sale is how I find out there's a Primer + Upstream Color Blu-Ray 2 pack that's apparently region free. Any way to know if this would be A) an upgrade on the existing Blu-ray of Upstream Color B) an upgrade of the DVD of Primer, which is not the best looking movie in the world in the first place

My choices are going to be difficult because off the top of my head I want to get these: V V: the Final Battle The Hunger Body Snatchers Cleopatra Jones The Hidden All the Batman Brave and the Bold seasons Justice League Unlimited I've been waiting for a 4 for 44 a while now. It's disappointing that they're not going to have them anymore but it's not like all the movies from WA are going to explode or anything. I'm wondering if getting rid of these sales are going to have a negative effect on WA. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Feb 20, 2021 |

Warner Archive 1-disc releases tend to be $13-20 on Amazon, which is pretty reasonable considering they're doing full restorations on nearly everything. As for recommendations, here's titles I'd consider to be absolute essential films to own: The Shop Around the Corner (1940 - dir. Ernst Lubitsch, starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan) Tex Avery Screwball Classics Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (all brand new 4K masters) Mister Roberts (1954, dir. John Ford/Mervyn LeRoy, starring Henry Fonda, James Cagney, Jack Lemmon, and William Powell) Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933, dir. Michael Curtiz, shot in 2-color Technicolor starring Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray, stunning 4K restoration) Dodsworth (1936, dir. William Wyler, wonderful drama starring Walter Huston) The Bad and the Beautiful (1952, dir. Vincente Minelli, starring Kirk Douglas, Lana Turner - one of the best films about film from the golden age) The Set-Up (1949, dir. Robert Wise, starring Robert Ryan - has a commentary by Martin Scorsese) Wagon Master (1950, dir. John Ford) Footlight Parade (1933) - James Cagney and Joan Blondell in a half screwball comedy and half Busby Berkeley dance film, one of my favorite WA releases The Thin Man (1934, one of the essential mystery/comedy films of the 30s) The Thing from Another World (1951 - one of the essential classic sci-fi films, great companion to Carpenter's remake) Gun Crazy (1950, Joseph H. Lewis) - essential noir, John Dall and Peggy Cummins are so great in this Night Moves (1975, Arthur Penn) - great neo-noir with Gene Hackman Ride the High Country (1962, Sam Peckinpah) - debut film by Peckinpah with Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott Bad Day at Black Rock (1955, John Sturges) - western noir that has a scene with Spencer Tracy taking out Ernest Borgnine with one arm Jezebel (1938, William Wyler) - Great Bette Davis role sort of like a more sympathetic Gone with the Wind Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958, Richard Brooks) - One of the horniest golden age movies ever, Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, and Burl Ives are incredible in this. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966, Mike Nichols) - Debut film by Nichols starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, astonishing in every way Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942, Michael Curtiz) - The other great 1942 film by Curtiz starring James Cagney 42nd Street (1933, Lloyd Bacon) - Essential Busby Berkeley musical, even if Footlight Parade is better overall Performance (1970, Donald Cammell/Nicolas Roeg) - Trippy look at identity with Edward Fox and Mick Jagger Plenty of noir and auteur films, too... Noir: On Dangerous Ground (Nicholas Ray) Murder, My Sweet (Edward Dymytrk) Out of the Past (Jacques Tourneur) While the City Sleeps (Fritz Lang) Alfred Hitchcock: Suspicion (with Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine) I Confess (with Montgomery Clift) The Wrong Man (with Henry Fonda) Bogart/Bacall: The Big Sleep (Howard Hawks) To Have and Have Not (Howard Hawks) Dark Passage (Delmer Daves) Key Largo (John Huston) Hammer Horror: Horror of Dracula The Curse of Frankenstein The Satanic Rites of Dracula Frankenstein 1970 More fun ones that I enjoyed: My Favorite Year - stars Peter O'Toole Cleopatra Jones - worth it just for Shelley Winters chewing scenery as the baddie The Sea Hawk - 1940 swashbuckler by Michael Curtiz starring Errol Flynn Super Fly - I think this is way better than Shaft The Hanging Tree - underrated western with Gary Cooper, Karl Malden, and George C. Scott The Sea Wolf - another great Michael Curtiz film, this time with Edward G. Robinson, Ida Lupino, and John Garfield in an anti-fascist parable Waiting for Guffman - fun mockumentary by Christopher Guest Innocent Blood - John Landis' comedy-horror worth it just for Robert Loggia and Don Rickles as vampires, also has cameos for Frank Oz, Sam Raimi, Dario Argento, Tom Savini The Loved One - goofy satire on Hollywood and the funeral industry with Jonathan Winters as a creepy pastor and Rod Steiger as a weird embalmer, also has Liberace as a casket salesman Body Snatchers - Abel Ferrara's take on the Jack Finney story, astonishingly creepy and IMO better than the '56 and '78 films Time After Time - Fun time-travel tale with Malcolm McDowell as H.G. Wells and David Warner as Jack the Ripper, also Susan Slept Here - Funny Frank Tashlin comedy with Debbie Reynolds The Green Slime - silly sci-fi Japanese coproduction, killer main title track The Great Race - Fun Blake Edwards all-star comedy. PUSH THE BUTTON MAX The Hudsucker Proxy - Underrated Coen Bros. film Also, they have reissues of stuff originally released through the main Warner label that are worth getting: The Man Who Would be King (1976, dir. John Huston, starring Michael Caine and Sean Connery) The Best Years of Our Lives (1946, Best Picture winner, dir. William Wyler) Jeremiah Johnson (1973, Sydney Pollack, starring Robert Redford) The Big Parade (1925, dir. King Vidor, starring John Gilbert - one of the best American silent films I've seen) House of Wax 3D (1953, dir. Andre de Toth, starring Vincent Price - 4K 3D restoration) Hans Christian Andersen (1953, Tom and Jerry Golden Collection Vol. 1 (1940-1948) - while some of the transfers are flawed, they look better than before and many essential cartoons Guys and Dolls (1956, Joseph L. Mankiewicz) What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962, Robert Aldrich) A Streetcar Named Desire (1951, Elia Kazan) Cabaret (1972, Bob Fosse) Meet Me in St. Louis

Also, the label isn't shuttering, but rather it seems like they're just closing up WBShop (which isn't even directly operated by Warner - it's a third party). In fact, George Feltenstein is still putting out podcasts, so it's looking like just a change in distribution. There's still a lot of titles in the works to be released like the 3-panel Cinerama 4K restoration of The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, Tex Avery Screwball Classics Vol. 2, Another Thin Man, Life With Father, Little Women '49, and Doctor X.
