Now the question is, do I order the re-release of Boomerang (I already have the recalled release) in order to maintain the complete numbering scheme?       


Of course you do. You can't leave a hole in the collection number. 


Already ordered.  It will be interesting to see if it gets a new number or if they use the original.

I am the bearer of bad news. 

Boomerang is the same release as before with #16 and the same cover art.

Moontide and Road House don't use the same skewed cover style as all prior Fox Film Noir. Also no insert. And...are you sitting down? No spine numbers! 

Link to comment on Home Theater Forum.

DVD Talk review of Moontide mentions the dropping of the spine numbers and the lack of insert.

Also, DVD Talk review of Road House mentions the same.

DVD Beaver:
Road House
Moontide
Boomerang (says it's exactly the same release as before)

These titles are available, with the exception of Boomerang I believe, in the Film Noir Collections
Vol 1
Vol 2 sold on Amazon.com. What is the difference between the titles being sold seperately and those included in the Film Noir Collections Vol 1 and Vol 2.

Here is the list of titles included in the Film Noir Collections:

Panic in the Streets
House of Bamboo
Street with no Name
Nightmare Alley
House on 92nd Street
Somewhere in the Night
Whirlpool
The Dark Corner
Kiss of Death
Where the Sidewalk Ends
No Way Out
Fallen Angel
The House on Telegraph Hill
House of Strangers
I Wake Up Screaming
Vicki
The Shock
14 Hours

Daisy Kenyon
Dangerous Crossing
Kansas City Confidential
A Bullet for Joey

Actually, the March releases earlier this year also do not have the "skewed" cover art, but they did have spine numbers!

They did originally say that they were only releasing 24 films as part of this series, way back when.

I'll keep collecting them, none-the-less.

The original post lists all of the titles in the series.

I doubt that the Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 releases are any different than the individual releases, although I don;t have them.

I was just wondering if they also included the spine numbers. I think I'll go ahead and place my order for both Volumes anyways. I love the genre and it will go well with my WB Gangster Collections.

I can't say for certain, but I suspect that this is simply a packaging of the original releases (with spine numbers).

Let us know when you get them.

Alain Silver & Elizabeth Ward's "Film noir: An encyclopedic reference to the American style" (1992, 3rd ed.) lists 32 noir titles by Fox. As a result, you can probably expect a few more titles yet.

I guess I'll finally get my copy of "Boomerang", DeepDiscount said it shipped, $10.48, no shipping.
Last time my truck was in for a check up and by the time I got to the store they were gone.

Just received my Film Noir Collections Vol 1 & 2. Consists of Volumes 1-24 (less #16, Boomerang) of the Fox Film Noir Collection with Spine Numbers and 4 MGM Film Noir titles: A Bullet for Joey, Kansas City Confidential, The Stranger & The Woman in the Window. I've already got Boomerang, Roadhouse & Moontide on order.

Not a bad deal either. Total averages out to be $8.14 per title .

Now the question: How to enter these films into my collection? I purchased them as sets, namely Film Noir Collection Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 but they really aren't box sets per se. They are just the keep cases wrapped in shrink wrap with a UPC label slapped on them. They've covered the UPC labels with blank white stickers, thankfully on the outer sleeve and not on the cover art, so I can remove those and add them individually to my collection or create two box sets. Problem though with the box set option is, what would I use as cover art? If I enter them individually I'd have to divide the total purchase price by the total DVDs and enter the result as price paid for each title.

Thoughts .

That's exactly what I did when I recently purchased the Fox Studio Classics collection from Amazon. The way I looked at it the "set" amazon sold me was nothing more than a way of putting all the movies together in one package for one price.

All separate movies for me. Each with their own profile and each with 1/40th of the cost I paid for the set (which BTW came in at $6.00 each  )
