Goodfellas on DVD


I love the movie but the DVD of it that I own is really strange. I have quite a few DVDs but this is the only one that is double-sided. The movie just stops in the middle of a scene and you have to turn the disc around to continue. It's like they didn't know that double layer DVDs exist. And it's not super old. I bought it in 2010!

Does anyone know how common double-sided DVDs are?

Something similar happend when I bought the Animatrix in 2015 and it came in one of those cardboard cases (www.markdownmedia.com/product_images/085393731625.jpg) that I haven't seen in the last 15 years.

Not that I see DVDs as relevant in 2024 (I hear the charity shops won't take them, although they do still press new DVDs), but for trivia, the Special Edition DVDs are not flippers.

Some other movies that were released as flippers (not necessarily on Region 1 in North America):

The Three Musketeers (1993)
A Time to Kill (1996)
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Gone with the Wind (1939)
Pretty Woman (1990)
Superman (1978)
Amadeus (1984)
Dead Presidents (1995)
Se7en (1995)
Air Force One (1997) in Australia and Europe on Region 4/2
Starship Troopers (1997) in the UK and Australia on Region 4/2
