Despite the convenience of digital and streaming, any truly hardcore cinegeek knows the importance of physical media and having a personal collection of not only mainstream titles, but more importantly those hidden gems; films that the average moviegoer has either forgotten about, or having never even heard of.
On March 23rd, 2009 Warner Bros and AV Entertainment worked together to launch 150 classic titles never before available on DVD. It was a smash success and arguably changed the trajectory of packaged media distribution.
Today, the collection totals nearly 4000 titles including Blu-ray, 4k, TV box sets as well as DVDs. And more are on the way. The occasion is being celebrated with a ‘4 for $49’ promotion on over 400 Warner Blu-ray titles, which can be accessed by clicking on the image at left. Huge kudos and thanks to the WAC team for an amazing 15 years.
