Warner Bros. 'Archive' brings obscure films to DVD on-demand

[admin]

Being the digital aficionados that we are, we still prefer Criterion's Online Cinematheque over this approach, but those not quite ready to give up physical media will absolutely (and understandably) disagree. At any rate, the studio has just fired up its Warner Archive, a nice little web portal where film fanatics can surf over and locate niche titles to be placed on a DVD and shipped out.

Regarding Criterion's Cinematheque, this is how it works:

The recently launched Online Cinematheque gives viewers the ability to catch short clips of select films online for free, and if they're really intrigued, they can cough up $5 to watch the whole thing.

That is a real good idea, free clips then $5 to watch the whole movie. Cheaper than going to the movies.
