Hmm, unless I’m reading that wrong, there’s no UK shipping either, which is frustrating. In an ever shrinking world the continued regionalism of media frustrates me.

Some problems. - It seems quite a number of the current 150 were made not by Warners but by MGM, and are merely acquisitions. Nothing wrong about that on the surface, but given /film's wording, it is misleading. Warners only owns the video rights to some of MGM's films. Nothing more. - Yes, Georgio ? The flick with the late Pavorotti? Okay, I suppose that would go to serious die-hard Pavorotti fans. I wouldn't call it a 'vintage classic' (hell, it was released in 1982 and was a huge bomb at the time!) ...as to anything that gets my attention, only three thus far- Doc Savage : Man Of Bronze, 1963's Captain Sinbad and 1952's Carbine Williams w/ Jimmy Stewart. - BUT the real question is...is $20 worth it? My answer, after sampling info on some of the above is no, unless it were part of shipping, and it does not appear to be so. I suppose it's not an issue if one was a serious Sinbad fan (or, for that matter, Pavorotti) ...but here's the thing. Bare bones.. I know it's hard pressed to find old footage of trailers, lost interviews and so on (unless folks want such material to be in, such as the case with the Pavorotti flick). But not even a film historian's thoughts or intro? Especially for some of those Joan Crawford/Clark Gable films. And what about Blu-Ray?

Its a wonderful idea and long overdue. I hope the other studios will follow the lead

Will be interesting to see how the picture quality is on those.
But this is a fantastic idea none the less.

I would say, yes … worth the $20 to be able to have a movie in your collection that is currently unavailable to buy anywhere. For anyone obsessed with movies (especially some of the obscure ones), this sounds like a great idea.

i guess it depends on the title… good idea though
