Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays

[swo17]

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

[Lowry_Sam]

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).

[FrauBlucher]

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

[Finch]

I think the slipcovers for Out of the Past and Auntie Meme look better than the other theatrical posters WAC picked for the keepcase covers. I normally bin slipcovers but I'll be keeping the Out of the Past one.

[Matt]

Press release for Auntie Mame says it's a FiM encode. Also:

SPECIAL FEATURES: 2026 conversation with JAN HANDZLIK and DAVE KARGER at the 2026 TCM FILM FESTIVAL and the original theatrical trailer. Also includes a reproduction of the original theatrical pressbook inside the packaging.
