===Background=== | |||
Guild Home Video was one of the earliest and most successful independent video companies in the United Kingdom, formed in 1979. In its early years, Guild was known for the high quality of their releases and having a large catalog compared to other companies of the time, and being a distributor for other companies' titles helped them survive the 1984 Video Recordings Act, which caused many other video companies at the time to go out of business. Guild remained strong in the 1990s when video became dominated more by major studios as opposed to indie labels until 1996, when both Guild Home Video and Guild Film Distribution merged with Pathé to form Guild Pathé Cinema. In 1998, Guild Pathé Cinema was renamed to Pathé Distribution, thus ending the Guild name for good. | |||
