coffeedan1927 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I got word through another group I belong to that Grapevine Video, that fine purveyor of silents, early talkies, and public domain films, is back in business (since September) and slowly making their old library available again on DVD-R. Proprietor Jack Hardy not only wants to make Grapevine a great source for famous and obscure classic films, but also a clearing house of information on the best deals in classic films everywhere. There's also a free download available each month, and a free biweekly newsletter packed with news on the latest classic DVD releases and other fun stuff for the classic movie fan.

KeithFromKC Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 That is GREAT news, Coffeedan!! I bought a lot of great, hard-to-find Silents from Grapevine in the past. I was disappointed when they folded, so it's almost miraculous that they are back! I will definitely check out the website and will probably be prepared to spend some money, as well!

jackpickford1 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I hope the entire library is re-released. I wonder why they ever closed in the first place?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviejoe79 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I just signed up for their newsletter the other day, and I just received my first one. This website/company is a classic movie lovers best friend! Right now they seem to be a little slow with the info on new classic DVD releases etc., but their heart is in it - and I wonder how they get access to those rare titles that they have available? Some good stuff. I only hope they can get their hands on some early pre-codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickerknickers Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hurrah for Grapevine! I brought some of my all-time fave silents from Grapevine and am thrilled they're back in business. They had so many fascinating "lost" movies for sale and one of my favorites is "Love's Bandit" starring the mythical Olive Thomas--the former Ziegfeld beauty who married Jack Pickford--brother of Mary--and who died mysteriously in Paris from poison/drugs. "Sex" was another goodie starring Theda Bara's main competition back in the late 1900s--Louise Glaum. Talk about old-fashioned vamps! Louise was great. I also brought a Mary Miles Minter weepie, "The Eyes of Julie". Now, to order my newsletter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
