OMG.... Think Pink will drive me crazy!

I knew it would!

OK guys... I just got another hint... so lets see what we can do with the hints now...

1. They aren't well known DVDs (This one hurts us!)
2. Most of them are 2 films on each DVD
3. Many of them are from long ago and filmed in black and white.
4. There are several sets of collections of the old movies and their covers are similar
5. Think pink. Black is beautiful
6. Your "think pink" answers are Cases of mistaken identity. (New Hint)

What do you think... can we crack the mystery?  Or is she just playing with my head??

[addicted2dvd]

Now that last clue helped me!...

Thinking of Saturday Matinees and Roger enjoying. I want to say maybe a collection of Western Movies... Possibly John Wayne?

[addicted2dvd]

To my guess above...

Ah...one of the trails is becoming a little clearer. John and Roy and Gene are just a few that might be waiting for the mystery to end.

But, the trail of pink and black is still hidden from your sight.

I guessed one of those cheap Western sets from Mill Creek... her reply...

Mill Creek is the wrong Studio/MC.
