i got the henstooth r1 edition, its got the long version with a director commentary. unfortunately its not enhanced for widescreen. but its still a nice print in the correct aspect ratio.

ive never seen it before but heard its a good one

Duly noted Mr M!! tis a favourite of mine, sleazy and dour....would make a great double bill with Devil Times five imo.

i bought a copy of the 1966 Thor tv cartoon series today, two discs, all the episodes. . only £1

[jockfun28]

You won't be disappointed. I bought it a few months ago (the single disc blu edition, 15th AE) to replace my UK Pathe DVD (didn't know it was cut when I bought it.)

Knew the Uk version was cut mainly to the Rape Sequence bought the US R1 DVD as it was in 2.35:1 not cropped like the Pathe one was to 2.1:1, when i put on the Region 1 recently it started off in 2.35:1 & the went into 2.1:1 i was gutted, but was still impressed with the overall quality of the DVD given it's age

Oh & Alice Aweet Alice on Hen's Tooth despite being non anamorphic does look really good

I bought a copy of The Eiger Sanction, the Collection one that came with the Eastwood magazine, and the damn thing was non-anamorphic, so i went and swapped it for the 2007 Universal R2 dvd, which CLEARLY STATES 'anamorphic' under the ratio, and it's THE SAME FUCKING TRANSFER!!!!! . . Fuck you, Universal! Doesn't anybody check the damn product before you put it out?

When i say 'same transfer' it is THE SAME content, menu screens and extras, which AREN'T LISTED on the box, so is it an authoring error? More to the point, is there actually a decent anamorphic R2 print of The Eiger Sanction available?

Really annoyed. Four bloody quid that was.

I think they're all non-anamorphic at the moment. I would have thought films with Clint in would deserve better treatment.

they don't care do they? shame. i'm sure people do work at Universal that care about 'fans', but probably not as much more than a demographic.

bad dreams & visiting hours (r1)

Like both, have the original Anchor Bay versions, but wouldnt hesitate in a flash if i didnt have them Visiting Hours grows on you more, Bad Dreams is a Nightmare on Elm Street deriative, with very easy on the eye Jennifer Rubin (Whatever happened to her???)

I Have to agree their treatment of Hitchcock (as in the 14 film boxset) the quality varies & why (When better masters are available from the US, I mean they are the same company) when the US get anamorphic transfers all the way apart from a few?????

i finally picked up Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia yesterday on R2 dvd for £2 . . the centre of the disc is shattered slightly but it plays fine.

I Got My Region 1 Blu of Showgirls today which i hasten to add is region locked, I wonder why it is locked????? As MGM are normally Region free is it because of the NC-17 rating perhaps????? anyway this looks absolutely stunning in full 2.35:1 possibly the best the film has ever looked or sounded
