Loving the Classics Reviews: Movie Site Triumphs as Home Entertainment Profits Soar
Online, May 8, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Reporting on the sales of movie tickets and DVDs is almost always grim. For years, the entertainment industry has suffered from diminishing returns-and the home entertainment industry has particularly struggled. The latest figures from The Hollywood Reporter, then, are truly surprising, revealing, for the first time in recent memory, that people are actually spending more money on home entertainment. As this surprising news breaks, the companies that are truly triumphing are movie sale sites like Loving the Classics.
As most Loving the Classics reviews make clear, the site is utterly unique from other movie websites. While the emphasis of most entertainment companies has shifted to digital downloads and subscription "streaming" services, such as Netflix, Loving the Classics remains committed to physical media, including DVD and even VHS. And rather than rent its products, Loving the Classics makes the titles from its movie collection available to own.
The collection itself is the thing that sets the site apart, however, as most of the titles it offers are not available anywhere else. Loving the Classics reviews countless old, vintage films that now exist in the public domain, and have therefore never been made available for home video release. The company then takes the choicest titles and transfers them to DVD or VHS, creating original artwork to go with each release.
As such, Loving the Classics provides movie lovers with a chance to own pieces of film history, many of them not available from any other site. Its titles include film noir selections, Westerns, comedies, and musicals, as well as many silent movies.
Most of the titles that Loving the Classics reviews and releases come from the 1920's through the early 1960's, but the site's ever-expanding library, which currently offers more than 5,000 movie selections, also includes titles from as early as the 1910's and as recent as the 1970's.
The site has already amassed a large clientele, many of whom return to the site repeatedly to catch up on the latest additions to the Loving the Classics film library. The site is poised to bring in a whole new wave of customers, however, if the Hollywood Reporter's findings are accurate. The publication reveals that, in the first quarter of 2012, consumer spending on home entertainment rose by 2.5%-- a sum of almost $4.5 billion. This is the first time the home entertainment industry has seen a profit increase in years, suggesting a renewed interest in home entertainment spending as consumers seek to avoid the high prices of the movie theater more and more.
