edgeciff Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 For some reason SO ENDS OUR NIGHT did not come up in a search on VCI website. Have to do some further checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film_Fatale Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Lots of great sales going on, it seems - let's hope they keep having 'em right thru X'mas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 This one is only on for about two weeks, I think, but don't hold me to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorky Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I decided I better order right away from VCI before they dropped any more titles. I ordered all the ones I mentioned: Leon Errol Two-Reeler Comedy Collection Alice in Cartoonland (Disney) Captain Video Fractured Flickers Somewhere in Dreamland (Fleischer animation) Captain Video is not the show or serial but the movie Captain Video, Master of the Stratosphere, "the first TV show ever to be adapted to the big screen". I also decided to get the Edgar Kennedy Two-Reeler Comedy Collection Well they don't tell you until the final confirmation page that shipping is free over $50 and my order was about $94 before the discount. I couldn't find anything else so I just ordered an extra copy of Captain Video - it cost me only $1.50 more than the $6 shipping would've and lists for $30! Thanks Web! I ended up getting a few TV shows from Amazon at 40% off! "Buffalo Bill - The Complete First and Second Seasons" $14.99 "The Ghost Busters - The Complete Series (Filmation, Live Action) (1975)" $17.99 "Felix the Cat: The Complete 1958-1959 Series" $23.49 I'm also considering The Cecil B. DeMille Collection (Cleopatra/ The Crusades/ Four Frightened People/ Sign of the Cross/ Union Pacific) List Price: $59.98 Our Price: $29.99 Seems I'm always checking these (three) DeMille pre-codes out from the library so I'm considering getting it for that price! Thanks FilmLover! I purchased nothing from the Buy.com sale - Thanks for nothing Snorky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorky Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 >Also, I am not sure where you would put the code in to get the 50% discount, >so I am going to call their 800 number.

ChiO Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 FYI for the folks in the Windy City & environs: Facets is having its warehouse sale (DVD & VHS)on Dec. 1-2 & Dec. 15-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 You can get the Cecil B. DeMille Collection for $7.49 + $2.98 shipping brand new from used dealers on Amazon. Save you like $10. That's where I got mine and it was perfect. I got it from Shamrockauctions, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcco44 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 i also always use 'amazon marketplace' to get the best deals possible on dvd titles.....i've had no problems so far, and i have bought about double the amount of titles this year with their cheaper prices.

Snorky Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks for the recommendations - it looks like there are several dealers selling the set new in that price range. That might be the route to go. I didn't know they were selling so many brand-new products in the marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound like an internet sale. I imagine they have info about it online though. They used to carry THE Bruce Lee interview, only it was on VHS so I never bought it.

ChiO Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 That doesn't sound like an internet sale. I imagine they have info about it online though. Based on my memory of going to the Facets warehouse sale a couple of years ago, and reading between the lines on its site, I think it's fair to say: It's not a sale of all items in inventory, but a sale of certain items, such as DVDs (and VHS) that are overstocked, or just not moving, or newer versions have been issued, or individual DVDs that are part of a box set. Purchases of sale items probably cannot be made online. The vast majority of stuff was of no interest to me, but there were some deals. I remembering finding Huston's *Moulin Rouge* and Resnais' *Mon Oncle D'Amerique* and some others at nice prices. But I doubt that there'll be any Bela Tarr movies.

Snorky Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Facets had some connection with the Whole Toon Catalog, which had just about everyting in animation at the time. I think Facets bought them out. Anyway I was getting the Facets catalog a few years back - they didn't seem to have a whole lot that appealed to me. I wouldn't make a special trip but I might be out that way Saturday and have the chance to check it out. Thanks for the info!

Snorky Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Kino is having a 25% off sale for the rest of the year. (We're getting spoiled here - 40, 50% off!) I have a number of Kino releases already (Louise Brooks, Metropolis, Waxworks, Woman in the Moon, Man Who Laughs, etc.) but I just found out about an early pre-code musical that Leonard Maltin calls "One of the best musicals ever made." It's a Kino release of Rouben Mamoulian's Applause (1929) starring Helen Morgan. I'll still shop around and make sure it's not cheaper somewhere else of course. The Cat and the Canary (1927) was recently released on October 9, 2007 - another real classic. William Wyler's Counsellor at Law (1932) with John Barrymore is another one of possible interest for me. Just a note on the Josephine Baker set - those three movies were all released back in 2005. Only this year were they combined into a box set.

Snorky Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Didn't make it down to the Facets sale. I called ahead and the store near there I planned to stop at didn't have what I needed so that was that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeciff Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Tried to order several titles online yesterday (12/2) from VCI since the sale was about to end, and had lots of problems on the website. It would not list SO ENDS OUR NIGHT nor MY LITTLE MARGIE. Thought these titles were out of stock. Called in today and a kind saleslady let me order for the 50% sale and as far as I know no titles are out of stock. Ordered MOON AND SIXPENCE, SO ENDS OUR NIGHT, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, THE BRAVE ONE, and ROBINSON CRUSOE. The cost including postage was slightly over $25. A little over $5 per disc was a bargain. If anyone had any problems with the website I was told they would honor the sale through today (12/3) via phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 My order from VCI just arrived today. 35 DVDs nicely boxed, no floaters or damage whatsoever, and a 10% off coupon included. Got a lot of their western packs, the Forgotten Film Noirs, Moon & Sixpence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 It's weird but I have heard nothing from VCI. After I first sent the order, I could get online and check to see they had received it. But since then, my password no longer works, nothing has been charged to my card, and I have heard nothing from them when I requested a password reset through their system (twice now over several days!).

Web Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 It's probably problems with their website. It took them 7 days from my order to charge my credit card. I received the stuff 5 days later. When I go in now it's still saying: Status: Received Payment Processing Order. So give it about 7- 12 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
