captain_slinkyThe Wizard of Oz had more Home Video releases (34) than Army of Darkness (19).
HOWEVER! Wizard of Oz is NOT the most released movie we found (Mad Phat Props to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
waygroovy and collisions for taking up the challenge)!
Some of the absolute CLASSIC films like Citizen Cane and The Ten Commandments have less than 20 releases each. Andy yet Basic Instinct has 25 releases.
To make up for that, Gone With The Wnd, Lawrence of Arabia, It's A Wonderful Life and Ben Hur all have over 25 releases each.
Terminator 2 has had 30 releases.
The Matrix has 34 (further proff that God is, if not completely dead, at least trying to take a nap and completely ignoring us).
It looked for a while that Casablanca was gonna e the big winner with 40 releases (FORTY!), but then a new challenger came in to the ring.
And so it is with GREAT HONOR that I crown THE KING of Released Media...
George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, with a whopping 42 VHS and DVD releases. And they're not even counting the two editions that *I* own... one from The Dollar Store, and one that was part of the "Classic Chillers 10-Pack" that cost me $15 back in the day!
btw, all data was collected by looking up a title at imdb.com and typing in "sales" after the title id # (for example, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063350/sales).
Any challengers?
