Orion Pictures had a good run that is nicely framed within the laserdisc era.
What are some of your favorites?

I see that "THE TERMINATOR" isn't listed must be something to do with studio? As the opening of the film has the Orion intro then Pacific. I see though the database it has many distributor -publihser releases. HBO / Gaumont Columbia Tri-Star / Pioneer LDC / Multigram / TF1 Video and on and on... What was the simple reason for this not that I'm bothered. I'm sure of the top of my head, only pressing of "Robocop 2" I have is the P/S That is fine crisp transfer with no issues. Robocop 2 (1990) [ID8014OR]

Robocop 3 (1993) [ID2671OR] Robocop 3 went grossly over budget and made no money, which helped to ruin the studio. It also soured Frank Miller on Hollywood for over almost a decade, until the went back and worked on Sin City. It also ruined the career of Director Fred Dekker, who has not directed a movie since. The whole situation bums me out, because Robocop is my favourite movie, and I loved Orion Pictures, and to think that a sequel to one of my favourite movies helped ruin the studio is such a downer. On a side note, other than the movies already mentioned, I have to go for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure as one of my favourite Orion films.

Two Charlie Sheen films - everyone remembers Platoon but hardly anyone remembers No Man's Land from the same year 1987. It's one of his best movies too with a fantastic Basil Poledouris synthesized soundtrack. Thanks for the recommendation for No Man's Land. I'm definitely going to check it out.
