For those that missed the previous lists, the rules for the list are:  Amazon must not have it as available, or any TOOS or expectations of shipping time. In addition, no user made pages, no aisan versions (no matter if they are R1 or R0), no collections (such as Friends Seasons 1-10), and no side-by-sides, back-to-backs, or multipacks in any form. Boxed sets are acceptable, such as Farscape Season 1. Also, for congruency's sake, MMM has to have it announced as discontinued. It is ok if other stores outside Amazon has it for sale (i.e. dvdempire, dvdplanet, etc.).

CAVEAT: These numbers fluctuate every hour or so and this is only to be considered as a snapshot of Amazon at the particular time of this writing. Even as I write this, some variations are likely to occur, so by the time it gets published, you will see some changes in numbers and perhaps even place standings as I have them listed. It is also likely to stand that numbers that seemingly jumped up might be indicative of a recent sale, rather than a constant. If overall website sales on Amazon are slower than other periods of the year, then it is also likely that a sale would increase the rank double or more.

Amazon's Best Selling OOP List

LIST NOTES: North By Northwest was removed from the list as Amazon now has a current supply for sale. 

#36) Mystery Science Theater Collection #9 is currently ranks are #39,359.

#35) Brassed Off. Ewan McGregor early piece is praised by virtually every reviewer. This was hot for a while, but has slid somewhat. Current rank is #35,615. 

#34) Mystery Science Theater Collection #10 remains a popular item, although has somewhat fallen from grace as Rhino issued its 10.2 set. However, this set still contains the Godzilla feature which remains unavailable and only through this set. Current rank is #30,930 down from #28,185.

#33) Peter Brook's Mahabharata is alive and well despite its asking price. Quite rare and very desireable for its well depicted version of the sacred texts of India. Beware of "Greek" imports. Current rank is #30,863 down from #21,016.

#32) Restoration. The exotic period piece from director Michael Hoffman. Current rank is #30,129.

#31) Exotica. Starring Mia Kirshner (The L Word), and directed by Stom Egoyan. Current rank is #20,412.

#30) Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer. This title is currently ranked at #20,568.

#29)  Long Way Round. Still a good mover. Current rank is #25,592 down from #10,863. 

#28) Danielle Steel's Zoya Part 1 & 2. Released from Anchor Bay with about 12 different titles under the Danielle Steel banner, most of which are out of print with varying popularity. This title begins with a sales rank of #23,136 down from #27,947. 

#27) Love Me If You Dare, the French film starring Academy Award Winner Marion Cotillard. Recently discontinued from Paramount Pictures remains a favorite.  Current rank is #22,416 down from #21,096. 

#26) Ready to Wear, Robert Altman's film on the fashion industry is popular despite mixed reviews. Current rank is 19,919 down from #15,742. 

#25)  Farscape Season 1, Vol. 1 - Premiere/I, E.T. Farscape has been a continual best seller and remains in high demand. Although some of the more lofty sets are great sellers, the lower priced titles are currently better movers. Currently ranked at #14,700 up from #19,446. 

#24)  Little Nemo. This is both a popular kids classic and animation lovers. Current rank is #13,939.

#23)  Walk on the Wild Side. An early Jane Fonda film from Sony Pictures. Current rank is #12,175.

#22) Farscape - The Complete Season 1. The recent sale on a number of brand new copies of has catapulted this set to the top ten, then quickly dropped back down. Current rank is 11,548 down from #2,394.

#21) Masque of Red Death/The Premature Burial double feature from MGM's Midnite Movies. For a short time Amazon had this title for sale directly, which seems to affected some of the pricing from third party sellers. Current rank is #10,755 down from #26,691.

#20)  The Tenant. Early work from Roman Polanski starring Isabelle Adjani. Current rank is #10,435.

#19) Soylent Green has been a popular sci-fi cult film for years. The death of Charlton Heston has spiked all of the Heston titles. This version of Soylent Green is a great piece to have in original snap case, however, the newer edition is keeping it prices at bay.Current rank is #9,335 down from #6,169.

#18)   Rear Window, the Alfred Hitchcock classic, starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly. Current rank is #9,015.

#17)  Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth which is a particular favorite among schools, libraries, and intellectuals alike. The groundbreaking series, when originally aired on television back in 1984 became an instant classic and a standout as one of the most revolutionary minds in the latter part of the 20th century. It's current rank is #8,276 down from #6,372.

#16) America: Freedom to Facist remains in the top 20. One of the more obscure titles released from Cinema Epoch, but continues to show a strong sales rank. It should be noted that this item was not released in a keep case, but released in a paper sleeve. Current rank is #7,044 down from #4,860. Average price $5.99.

#15) Watership Down is currently ranked at #7,341.

#14) My Favorite Year enters the list. A release from Warner Brothers Home Video. The current sales rank is #4,369  up from #4,468. 

#13) Beautiful Girls moves out of the top 10, despite its rise in sales. This great comedy remains a favorite among collectors and movie fans justifying its popularity. Current rank is #4,320 up from #4,018. Average price is $15.00.

#12) The Jason Bourne Collection which has been a hot seller since its release last Christmas. A quick sell out made sales easy for third party sellers despite the number of copies available. It is slowly drying up in number of copies. Be leary of eBay as there are bootleg/asian versions of this set using stock photos. Current rank is #4,097 down from 5,079. 

#11)  Alice in Wonderland (Masterpiece Edition). This was the first Disney release with the Masterpiece banner I believe. Starting ranks are #2,185.

  The Top 10

 

#10)  A Bronx Tale. Although released in a boxed set (also OOP), this version is still a great seller, but at minimal prices and quantity keeps it from becoming too rare.  Current rank is #1,740 down from #1,327

#9) Bambi, again, one of my personal favorites, is discontinued and this probably wont get released for some time. With nearly 100 copies currently being offered, one has the luxury of waiting as if it were still in print. Current rank is #1,178 down from #1,034.

#8)   Little Mermaid 2. Despite increase in rank, prices remain close to what it was last time. Still continued to be a hot seller is keeps itself in the top 10. Current rank is #1,508 down from #6,524. Average price is $19.00.

#7)  Pinocchio, one of Disney's classic films continues to be one of the top sellers in the list. Although prices are stable in the high 20's, the number of copies continue to get scarce. It has been discontinued for some time now, so there is some due anticipation for a re-release. This edition was released both in "Gold" and "Limited Edition" banners, both with same UPC and content, just different package art. Current rank is #894 up from #2,733.

#6) The Beatles Yellow Submarine continues to sale the stormy seas and is one of the better titles to own in this list. There are still too many copies to keep it from getting to far out, even for used copies, however, new copies are getting scarcer and scarcer, so you might see a wider gap between the two.Current rank is #849 up from #1,766. 

#5) The Nightmare Before Christmas. Even in the summer, this popular, and now somewhat cultish film, continues to be a fan favorite with its darkly humorous take on the Christmas lore. Although it has a very good sales rank, pricing is on a seasonal basis and, unless a re-release is announced, expect these prices to go back up during the Halloween and Christmas seasons. Current rank is #818 up from #1,383. Average priceAverage price is $16.00.

#4) Lady and the Tramp. Again, Disney monopolizes the top slots in the list. This is its second release under the Platinum line which is a 2-disc set, while the original release was a single, bare bones disc that was under the Limited Edition banner. Current rank is #567 up from #596.

#3)  Snow White has jumped #5 from the #3 slot this time around. Right now the price seems just about right. There are plenty of copies to keep the title from getting too expensive.Current rank is #237 up from #1,144. 

#2) The Lion King is no longer the reigning top seller this week. Current rank is #108  up from #217.

#1) Beauty and the Beast. Usurping the number 1 spot for the first time since this list has come together is Beauty and the Beast. Currently there are 51 copies with prices starting at 24.99 for a used and new at 40. These are equally hot on eBay, however, it is difficult to get too much more than that due to the number of copies that circulate. Current rank is #69 down from #380.
