Sam Juliano, I am quite sure that G.McC, do own a copy of <b>"Stranger on the Third"</b> on dvd, but don't order it yet!...(But,I will email you later and tell you why I don't want you to order it(Stranger on the Third Floor</b> from him yet!) Sam said,"I once owned STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR on an RKO laserdisc" Wow!...try to locate that RKO laserdisc Sam Juliano, because it can one day be a collector item!...Because I am in the process of helping a friend and his wife move and he gave me his laserdisc player.. I must admit I was just staring at that laserdisc player (and between 14-20 laserdisc) as if it were an <i>"alien"</i> from the planet Mars, but after he explained to me what it's and how the laserdisc (especially, the laserdisc with beautiful illustration/or beautiful cover art work ) may one day become collector items and guess what?!?... now I am constantly on ebay in search of illustrated laserdisc. (Among the laserdisc, that he gave me with beautiful cover art, are copy of the film <b>The Day the Earth Stood Still, Designing Woman, Funny Face and The Man Who Came to Dinner.</b>) Take Care! dcd ;) Hi!

Well I still have my LD player (Sony) but I only have about 20 discs now. I once owned over 1,400! But when DVD came around I sold the collection off and used the $$$ to buy DVDs, many of the titles previously owned on LD. Sadly, STRANGER was sold off, but I see there are copies on e bay floating around at fairly expensive prices. I was preparing to e mail Gerry as per this title, but I see Tony has collared it from <del datetime="2010-06-08T00:29:56+00:00">Magpie</del> (Yammering Magpie has shot down). I am seriously thinking about getting it from them along with THE LAST FLIGHT and ALIAS NICK BEAL, the last of which I have from a tape to DVD transfer. But it's not quick good enough in quality.

I agree with you Sam, and the only people I know that would "invest" that kind of money in order to own the film <b>Strangers on the Third Floor</b> in a "pristine" condition (on vhs) are collectors of rare or hard to find movie titles.(This comparison maybe too "extreme," but just think of...Degas, Van Gogh, Picasso, Manet and Monet paintings. Because their painting are so "rare" and very beautiful, people are willing to pay almost any price to own their paintings.) Btw, I recently, purchased a used copy of <b>Strangers on the Third Floor</b> on eBay when the price leveled off!...now the price is "slightly" back up on used copies on ebay. Hence,the reason that I mentioned the fluctuating price for the film <b>"Strangers on the Third Floor"</b> on vhs on ebay and Amazon.com. dcd ;) Sam said,”I gave up buying tapes years ago for the obvious reasons, and wouldn’t invest in this title at that price.”
