Talk:20th Century Home Entertainment/Summary

Selections Question
In the section for "4th Logo (December 19, 1995-March 1998)," (referring to the FoxVideo logo) it says the logo was "Seen on all 20th Century Fox Selections titles released between 1995 and 1997." Under the section for the second FoxVideo logo, it also says it was on "all 1995 20th Century Fox Selections VHS releases such as Big, Pacific Heights, Shining Through and Only the Lonely." However, I may have some doubts about those claims.

In a box of videocassettes at my grandma's house, there are four Selections VHS tapes: Brubaker, Marked for Death, 9 to 5, and Point Break. All of them have a 1995 copyright, FoxVideo print logos on the spine, and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment print logos on the back covers. But turn them over, and the confusion begins.

Marked for Death has the CBS/Fox Video print logo alongside the 1995 TCFHE print logo, while the other three just have TCFHE. The tape labels are where it really gets confusing:
 * Brubaker: White label, CBS/Fox print logo, and 1990 copyright
 * Marked for Death: Blue/green/white label, CBS/Fox print logo, and 1991 copyright
 * 9 to 5: BGW label, FoxVideo print logo, and 1995 copyright
 * Point Break: BGW label, FoxVideo print logo, and 1991 copyright

I haven't yet played these cassettes to confirm anything, but I'm starting to think the 1993 and 1995 FoxVideo logos weren't seen on all Selections releases after all based on what's on the tape labels. Was it just three of these four that were reprinted or repackaged under the Selections brand (9 to 5 seems like it's an entirely new version), or were there more?

Here are some pictures I took of the tapes in question.

My apologies if this is inappropriately placed. Magnetic1977 (talk) 05:58, October 5, 2019 (UTC)

UPDATE 10/30/19: I was recently in a thrift store and saw a Selections VHS of The Abyss. I didn't buy it, but did check to see what kind of printing it was. Sure enough, like Brubaker, it had a white CBS/Fox label, raising further suspicion that, unless the title was new to video, all of the Selections tapes were repackagings.

FOXVideo Movie Club
I realized on the FOXVideo print logo from 1993 description you guys forgot something: a variation for the FOXVideo Movie Club. On a black background the full color FOXVideo Print logo fades in followed by a white box with the words "MOVIE CLUB" below it in a fancy font to enclose the logo. The music is the ending portion of A Dream Worth Keeping that played in the promo followed by a female voice over saying: "For more information & special promotional offers, look for this symbol wherever videos are sold." It can be found on various FOXVideo releases from 1993 including The Good Son. Add that please.
