On My God

Looks like it's just the two of us, who thinks this rule!

Must be others out there?????????????

many of the filipino films on DVD were only played in drive in movies in the 60's through early 80's. When VCR's came to prominence in the late seventies and 80's, movie studios only converted popular movies to video tape, not drive in movies.

As the 80's progressed more foriegn films were put on video and brought to american audiences, but many many films just ended up collecting dust in movie vaults.

In the mid 90's some studios began to destroy the films in their vaults to make way for newer films to be stored. The film preservation campaign began to save these movies.

In the late 90's, people in hollywood noticed that very wealthy people were buying DVD players and they recognized that alot of movies in the 80's were still under licensing to their parent companies (that's why it took forever for them to put out films like goonies). But many films from the 50's-70's were no longer under licensing to their companies and were ripe for DVD conversion.

The end result being that when we all started going to best buy or tower records, all these wonderful kung fu movies and drive in horror films that had long been forgotten were now on DVD.

Now, we have the 42 street forever collection of DVD's which carries movie trailers of other forgotten films and we are encouraged to keep asking companies for these movies.

There's a brief history of where thi film came from and why it took so long to come out.
