Badge 373 is being released on Blu-ray in April.

It's a show that HAS to be watched in order. Season Three is next.
It's one of the best series I've ever seen. If you've just seen up to the plane collision you've got some riveting episodes ahead!
I certainly am a fan of this show. Any other fans here?
I've been perusing through 100 Silent Films (BFI Screen Guide series) by Bryony Dixon. An entertaining and informative read. Recommended for anyone who likes film.

Haha Exactly..I have the DVD boxset of Wood's and like them a lot but worn VHS is best.
After the Noir Encyclopedia, Death on the Cheap is my go-to resource. A great book!!
A couple more VHS noirs that I forgot I had
Walk Softly, Stranger
Try & Get Me
The Houston Story
Be careful what you wish for. Plan 9 From Outer Space is being released on Blu-ray in March. There's something wrong about Ed Wood on Blu-ray or for that matter DVD. Wood should only be on VHS.
Another noir on VHS is Cry Vengeance (1954)
Both of these were released on DVD. Dahlia is R2 and I Died A Thousand Times is from Warner Archive.
In addition to those mentioned, I have on VHS
Shack Out on 101
Plunder Road
Beware My Lovely
Private Hell 36
Crashout
Make Haste to Live
Finger Man
A Woman's Devotion aka Battle Shock
The new Hitchcock Blu-rays--Rebecca, Notorious and Spellbound are priced at $9.99 at Costco---the cheapest price I've seen.
According to Masters of Cinema (UK) on Twitter, Double Indemnity and The Lost Weekend will be released on Blu-Ray in June
Good prices for these:
Yesterday I bought The Complete Fritz Lang Mabuse Box Set (Masters of Cinema) on Amazon UK for $41.04 US and that included shipping.
Also, Blue Velvet Blu-Ray is priced...
I think a memorable evening might be with Lawrence Tierney, Tom Neal, Barbara Payton & Veronica Lake.
The Prowler was voted #1 DVD of 2011 on DVDBeaver. Very cool!!!
Could very well be the French. Fuller had a cameo in Jean-Luc Godard's film Pierrot Le Fou.
Sam Fuller. I don't know what the big whoop is about him. He seems over-rated. I've seen a number of his films and on the whole, don't do much for me. The one I enjoyed the most was The Big Red One.
Scarlet Street to be released on bluray from Kino

Couldn't pass up these prices!
