Film nerds of the world, rejoice! Earlier this week Warner Bros. announced that it would open up its vaults and make more than 150 of its back-catalog movies available on DVD by special order for $19.95 a pop (plus shipping; they can also be downloaded for $14.95 each). It's actually a surprisingly clever move considering that DVD sales are down across the board and the studios are now scrambling to find new revenue streams to fill the gap. But is there anything worth coughing up 20 bones for?
Well, since the announcement, we've had some time to peruse the dusty on-demand offerings. And while there’s no doubt plenty of junk, there’s also more than a few interesting curios and lesser-known vintage titles with big stars that should get TCM addicts and Hollywood junkies drooling.
