What about the Star Trek TV episode discs? There are 6 discs, 5 out of the 6 contain two episodes each, the 6th disc is the 2 parter "The Menagerie".

Beetlescott might have some of these for sale as well as the others you listed.

I got most of the movies from the same person. The other movies from that collection that I have watched are in really great shape. The gentleman worked for RCA in Indiana, so he knew how to take care of them. Shoot me an email and we can discuss it if you are interested. Beetlescott@msn.com Be sure and put CED in the subject line or you will get lost in the junk yard:)

Murder by Death
The Private Eyes
Pink Panther Movies
Watership Down (Time to scar my kids the way this one scared me!)
Secret of NIMH


Side note, are there films on CED that are not on DVD?

[deantjeep]

I believe the movie "Baffled" is not available on DVD. I have it on CED in my collection. It stars Leonard Nimoy (Spock) as a race car driver turned pychic detective. It was a pilot for a series that never took off.

I knew that Beetlescott would be a great place to score some of your movies!

[Beetlescott]

I have Firefox brand new in cellophane!!
Apple Dumplin Gang not in cellophane, but still new.
The Pink Panther (brand new in cellophane)
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
The Return of the Pink Panther
The Revenge of the Pink Panther

I think I have Murder by Death, but I have till I get to the house I'm moving to to make sure. By the way, I do have those Rocky movies you wanted to, I thought I had sold it, but when I was unloading them, I do still have them.
Rocky
Rocky II
Rocky III
Rocky IV

I wouldn't want to seriously collect CEDs. I like it as a hobby. I've heard about people who seriously collect 78 rpm records, and I akin CED collecting to that. No, I'm not dissing the format, I like it. I just don't like how most of the discs were panned-and-scanned, and I know about how Amarcord was the first (and maybe only) letterboxed CED disc.

But if I want movies on the format, they would be novelties.

Saturday Night Fever
Grease
Hair
Gimme Shelter
Apocalypse Now

But if I want to collect SERIOUSLY:

Back to the Future
Memories of CED
Amarcord
Let it Be

[Beetlescott]

My first serious collecting was obviously Star Trek. Back in the 80s. They started releasing 2 episodes per disc for as long as the CEDs were being released. 6 discs total, in the episodes, (I believe that is right) Now remember, back in those days, there was no such thing as Star Trek The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine/ Voyager/Enterprise. All we had was the original 79 episodes, during that space of time, we Trekkies got very familiar with them. Now there is over 870 episodes over the 5 series, pluse the XI movies. When I went on disabilityI have watched all 5 series, and XI movies. 4 times each! some of them more than others. Now, I'm not sure weather to be ashamed or boastful about it:)
