As they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," but frankly, I'm totally underwhelmed by what's on this list.

Considering what is (or should be) in the Metro vaults, this looks more like a rummage sale than anything else. SETH

Remember that anything originally from MGM would be post-1986 only from this source. Everything earlier is owned by WB.

MGM Post-1986 Screen Archives

Post by moviepas » Wed Feb 02, 2011 2:19 pm

Danny, you are right in respect that anything MGM there would be post-1986 but that archive holds a lot of negative or rights purchases going back to the 1920s. This includes the Samuel Goldwyn Library & stuff actually under UA ownership plus Orion, etc. The tragedy is that the Goldwyn family destroyed most of the silents which would have been available(if they were extant when the vaults were cleared) for this project if they dared.

Hopefully they are able or want to issue some of the early material.
