The order presented is more or less in the order I recorded them, but I can't promise the ordering is absolutely true. It's certainly truer with the most recent releases, but some earlier ones were dragged from the year they were recorded to that in which they were released. I've numbered each commentary except for those listings that denote reissues of earlier commentaries; there may be some international reissues of which I'm unaware. I have also highlighted the various awards and recognitions that various of the commentaries have received or been part of.
Please note this list includes titles due for imminent release, and a few that have been done but - for various reasons I can't explain - are presently "on hold." If there are any DVD or Blu-ray releases from regions around the world that you know of, which are not listed here, please drop me a line at tim@videowatchdog.com.
I'd like to thank my principal employers - Bret Wood and Frank Tarzi of Kino Lorber, and Francesco Simeoni of Arrow Video and his team of ace disc producers (James Blackford, Michael Mackenzie, Ewan Cant, and Anthony Nield) - for their ongoing custom and encouragement, and also my late and much-missed friend Michael Lennick, who - twenty years ago, in the late summer of 1999 - recorded my first two commentaries up in Bala, Ontario, thereby setting me on the path to a side-career at which he would have excelled himself.
Here's a guide to my first 100 titles. Thanks for your good words of encouragement.
