Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays

I hope someone releases Long Voyage Home soon, that's easily my favorite outstanding WB Ford film that's not on Blu-ray, much less UHD, and the ending alone is one of my favorites from Ford.

Thank you! (And unlike Vinegar Syndrome, they actually made a nice looking slipcase rather than eyesore!)

If anyone cares about this sort of thing, Last Summer comes with a slipcover, a first for a Blu-ray only title in the line

I've never understood the appeal of slipcases. It's just one more step to actually getting the disc out & in your player (and an annoying one at that) and easily subjected to wear and tear.

Last Summer was released when drive-ins were a big thing in the midst of the boomer gen getting wheels and getting laid and buying LP's. Made of cardboard. A big chunk of physical medial sales for old movies is pure nostalgia for the older gens.

Slipcovers can be fun, I don’t think it’s much more serious than that. I can’t deny, as annoying as they were to deal with, that the hefty slipcovers used by Vinegar Syndrome and associated labels were quite luxurious. For one that looks nice, I’d pay a few bucks more. I’d also know I could charge a few bucks more if I ever needed to resell it too

[Walter Kurtz]

I totally agree with that. Slipcovers (cardboard) showing great images are much more striking visually than paper hidden behind a sheet of plastic wrap. I was just responding to why Last Summer of all movies is the first cardboard slip WA Blu. Just a guess on WA thinking. It could be random. Who knows?

The Radiance Cutter's Way slipcase is basically indestructible. Dependent, of course, on access to children!

I'm with Lowry_Sam. I discard them into the re-cycling bin. Although I did keep one,He Who Gets Slapped from Flicker Alley. It' s beautiful. Looks like a piece of art

[Lowry_Sam]

I can see repurposing them if they are a truly great image, but if it's the case that they are a good image, then they will be torn & dinged with each time you want to watch them or reorganize your collection. If there's something I'm willing to pay extra for, it's the ltd. steelbooks that Masters Of Cinema/Eureka released back in the day. It's a shame no one releases anything like that anymore (most steelbooks now are just plain ugly).

Also, having many slipcovers tend to cause more shelf space to be used. It adds up
