Warner Home Video-graphy - Part 1 - Big W, or pre-1986*, Warners. · 1:49am Jun 25th, 2017

WCI releases had a 4-digit number system to start off with; they went to a 5-digit number in mid-1981, when it became Warner Home Video. Initially, tapes had book-boxes, but later switched to clamshells in 1981 or 1982. US releases used 1 as the first number and foreign releases used 6 as the first number. For the North American audience, I am presenting them with 1 as the first number and with details of the North American release if neccessary as I am an American.

My research was done using TV Tropes, VHSCollector.com, eBay listings and my VHS collection. *indicates theatrical release year, not the year of the video release.

1001 Blazing Saddles (1974) Sped up by just under 7% for a runtime of 2h12m42s without the above-mentioned logo plastering (as opposed to the original runtime of approximately 2h21m58s), to fit a 135-minute tape.
1002 Green Berets, The (1968)
1003 Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, The (1979)
1004 Deliverance (1972)
1005 East of Eden (1955)
1006 Enter the Dragon (1973) The film wasn't sped up at all, running at the original length of approximately 1hour, 38minutes, 53seconds despite the box and labels incorrectly giving a 90 minute running time.
1007 Exorcist, The (1973)
1008 Hooper (1978)
1009 In-Laws, The (1979)
1010 Oh, God! (1977)
1011 Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
1012 Searchers, The (1956)
1013 Superman - The Movie (1978) The original WCI Home Video release, quite rare, is partially sped up in sequences without dialogue for a runtime of 2h4m13s (as opposed to the original runtime of approximately 2h23m16s) to fit a 127-minute tape. A later Warner release was wrongfully stated as being rated R.
1014 Wild Bunch, The (1969)
1015 Woodstock I (1970) Part one of the revolutionary concert film, about an event that took place in August 1969 near Bethel, New York. In contrast, given that the Warner tapes always came in a big box at the time, this was probably not the most economical choice in the world, but sensing the scrutiny they would get for speed-ups, and its 185-minute running time of the era, Warner probably felt this was the best choice.
1016 Woodstock II (1970) Part two of the revolutionary concert film, about an event that took place in August 1969 near Bethel, New York. In contrast, given that the Warner tapes always came in a big box at the time, this was probably not the most economical choice in the world, but sensing the scrutiny they would get for speed-ups, and its 185-minute running time of the era, Warner probably felt this was the best choice.
1017 Mister Roberts (1955)
1018 All the President's Men (1976)
1019 Dirty Harry (1971) On this tape, the original Kinney Shield has been plastered with a silent Big W Warner Bros. Television Distribution logo.
1020 Star Is Born, A (1976) The second of Warner's remakes of the 1937 public domain film is best remembered for the tune "Evergreen", winner of the 1976 Oscar (as awarded in 1977) for Best Original Song
1021 Main Event, The (1979)
1022 Candidate, The (1972) Original 1972 WB shield is plastered by the "Big W" logo.
1023 Exorcist II - The Heretic (1977)
1024 Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
1025 Executive Action (1973) Originally released by National General Pictures.
1026 Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
1027 Klute (1971)
1028 Every Which Way But Loose (1978)
1029 Bullitt (1968) Sped up by just over 8% for a runtime of 1h45m10s (as opposed to the original runtime of approximately 1h53m45s) to fit a 105-minute tape. One of the first films to be given an MPAA rating at all, it's said to be rated M on the box, and in fact still says this on a later reprint.
1030 Going in Style (1979)
1031 A Clockwork Orange (1971)
1032 Gilda Live (1980) Filmed version of the comedic one-woman show performance of Gilda Radner Live on Broadway; it had a steady success as a play but the movie itself and the record as well, both released in March 1980, were complete flops with critics and the public.
1033 Summer of '42 (1971)
1034 Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) One of the first tapes to credit the company as "Warner Home Video" on the packaging and labels.
1035 Prisoner of Second Avenue, The (1974)
1036

1038
1039 Magnum Force (1973)
1040 Billy Jack (1971)
1041 What's Up, Doc? (1972)
1042 Tom Horn (1980) One of Steve McQueen's last films, he died in the same year. During filming, he had trouble breathing and was later determined to have a rare form of lung cancer called malignant mesothelioma.
1043 Honeysuckle Rose (1980)
1044 Oh, God! Book II (1980)
1045 One Trick-Pony (1980) Paul Simon in his only film in the lead, and he obviously meant to keep it that way, as shown by the title.
1046 Dial M for Murder (1954)

At this point all following titles are on 5-digit numbers.

11047 Star Is Born, A (1954) General release version in its original pressing.

11082 Enforcer, The (1976)
11083 Gauntlet, The (1977)
11084 Camelot (1967) This film was one of those that caused Jack L. Warner to leave WB in 1967; it also caused Warner to rely more and more on location shooting right where their future films were set, as this adaptation of the musical about Medieval England was obviously filmed in Merry Olde Southern California.

11098 Scarecrow (1973)
11099
11100 Mame (1974) This was Lucille Ball's attempt to make a musical; she failed miserably at it. She never made another film and, unfortunately, died in 1989.

11276 Double Man, The (1967)
11277 Lepke (1974) Over-looked film with Tony Curtis as the titular gangster Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, in the true story of the head of the Mafia hit squad Murder, Inc. The first American film directed by Menahem Golan, an Israeli filmmaker who, back in the '80s, was the co-owner of the Cannon studio (the other owner of the studio was his cousin Yoram Globus).
11278 Gumball Rally, The (1976)
11279 Inside Out (1975) British film; known in the US as Hitler's Gold.
11280 Shipwreck! (1978) AKA The Sea Gypsies.
11281 Cahill - United States Marshal (1973)
11282 Deadly Trackers, The (1973)
11283 Viva Knievel! (1977) Star Evel Knievel and his associates attacked promoter Shelly Saltman with an aluminum baseball bat on September 21, 1977; this film only opened in four further international markets after Knievel's conviction due to poor publicity and loss of merchandise deals from the incident. Additionally, it seemed ill-judged in light of such conviction to combine the film's promoted wholesome image of Knievel with the plot point concerning Knievel's promoter being corrupt. This means that even the Boring Shield tape in Cheesy Shield case is hard to come across; the Big W clamshell release is almost NEVER in sight.
11284 Arrangement, The (1969) Elia Kazan wrote a novel with this title; he directed the movie based on that novel, a fact that is sort of a novelty.
11285 FBI Story, The (1959) Produced under the titular organization's supervision; it spawned a TV show called The F.B.I. which was also supervised by that organization.
11286 Hot Potato (1975) Sequel to 11274.
11287 Sellout, The (1976) Does not star Macy Gray (b. 1967) but she did make an album called that in 2010. It instead stars Oliver Reed and Richard Widmark.
11288 Mackintosh Man, The (1973)
11289
11290 Enemy of the People, An (1978) Ran into promotional problems due to the fact that star Steve McQueen had a beard and long hair. How severe were they? See this Wikipedia article to find out. The resulting obscurity was such that it was not again released on a home platform until 2009 when Warner issued it on DVD through their burn-to-demand Digital Distribution arm.
11291 Man in the Wilderness (1971) Revisionist western was the first feature to be shown in years at the newly refurbished Princess Theatre (renamed the Klondike Theatre, at the time) in Edmonton, Canada on Christmas Day in 1971.
11292 WifeMistress (1977) Italian film; issued outside of North America only. Was theatrically released by the Quartet studio in the US, where it received a (very rare) Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment release.
11293 Flood (1976)

11310 Outsiders, The (1983) From Zoetrope Studios; it has their case stylings.
11311 Satanic Rites of Dracula, The (1973)
11312 You're A Big Boy Now (1967)
11313 Up the Academy (1980) Originally to be presented with the Mad magazine name, it was promptly disowned by both the Mad brass and actor Ron Leibman (who, despite his sizable role, had his name completely removed from the credits and promotional material). Besides paying Warner Bros. $30,000 to remove all references to Mad from the film when it was released on home video and on Home Box Office (HBO), Mad's publisher William Gaines issued personal handwritten apologies to every person that wrote the magazine to complain; the magazine, as it would normally do, mocked it in one of its 1981 issues. It would however become a cult classic, and the Mad references were roped back in following the magazine's Time Warner purchase and the death of Mr. Gaines.
11314 Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) Adapted from the TV show, and presented in segments directed by Steven Spielberg and John Landis. It was overshadowed by a stunt helicopter crash which took the lives of Vic Morrow and two child actors, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, during the filming of one of the segments, "Time Out" on July 23, 1982; the two child actors were hired illegally. Their deaths led to a high-profile legal case, although at the end of the trial no one was found to be criminally culpable for the accident.
11315 National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) The first of one of Warner's most successful series, and certainly National Lampoon's most successful series.
11316 Deadly Eyes (1982)
11317 Blue Skies Again (1983)
11318 Cracking Up (1983)

11325
11326 Angel of Vengeance (1980) AKA Ms. 45; issued outside of North America only. Released in North America on the U.S.A. label, an adult-centric offshoot of Family Home Entertainment which in turn was an offshoot of the sex-oriented Caballero Control Corporation.
11327 Lift, The (1983)
11328 Schizo (1976)
11329
11330 Class of '44 (1973) Sequel to the classic 1033; in contrast to that film, this was smashed by critics; it does feature John Candy in his first film role for a few seconds.

11332 Seven Beauties (1975)
11333 Rachel, Rachel (1968)

11335 Star Is Born, A (1954/1983) "A/B" as this is the 176-minute cut.
11336 Salem's Lot (1979) Condensed version of the CBS mini-series.
11337 Never Say Never Again (1983) Made for Warner not by Eon, as the UA Bond films were, but by Taliafilm, an independent production company, one of whose members was Kevin McClory, one of the original writers of the Thunderball storyline. He retained the filming rights of the novel following a rights controversy; the film was also co-produced by the Producers Sales Organization. It was released to compete against Octopussy starring Roger Moore, which was also released in 1983 and would soundly defeat the Sean Connery vehicle ($183.7M for Octopussy v. $160M for this film).
11338
11339 Deal of the Century (1983) Released on DVD in 2006; when that became OOP, it was reissued as part of the Warner Archive Collection in 2014.
11340 Of Unknown Origin (1983) Produced by the Canadian Film Development Corporation, and directed by George P. Cosmatos.
11341 Sudden Impact (1983) Another of the Dirty Harry films, this, even on VHS, became best remembered for the line, "Go ahead, make my day."

11375 Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984) At the time hailed as a return-to-form for Tarzan in films, much like Disney's similar adaptation 15 years later, and after the disastrous Tarzan, the Ape Man on MGM/UA 800109 3 years before.
11376 Swing Shift (1984) Despite it debuting the film career of the Go-Gos' Belinda Carlisle and has one of the first film roles from Holly Hunter, it is best known as one of the poster childs for star/director conflicts. Stars Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell saw this war film as a lighthearted vehicle but director Jonathan Demme had something more serious in mind. Hawn and several Warner execs requested a recut and partial re-shoot in order to get the movie they had hired Demme to film. Demme's cut exists only as a bootleg VHS. Both cuts have exactly the same running time, interestingly enough, as both run at 100 minutes.

11408 Day of the Animals (1977) This Film Ventures International film is said to be a laughable attempt to present an environmental message on film, with its poor special effects, goofy premise and banal execution. The hunter is played by Leslie Nielsen in one of his last serious roles before switching to comedy outright by 1988.

In her film debut, Whoopi Goldberg did win a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama), so not all hope was lost.
