The Omen Trilogy (BD)
The Hustler (BD)
The Fifth Element (BD)
The Spider-Man Trilogy (BD)
Psychoville series 1 and 2 (BD)
30 Rock series 1-4 (DVD)

I also picked up The IT Crowd series 3 from HMV for £4.49, so I'm completely spent up!

Lucky for you that next month starts on Thursday then and you can start all over again.

If ordering those wasn't bad enough, I've just been spurred on by Ken Russell's death to buy as many of his films as possible, so just ordered Gothic and Billion Dollar Brain.

On the plus side, at least they were only £2.99 each!

To all the IT Crowd fans, Black Books is from the same writers. The three series box set is on Play.com at £7.99 - recommended.

That's a bargain for 18 episodes of comedy gold. If you don't already own it and like offbeat British comedy (it's by Graham Linehan, the guy behind Father Ted and The IT Crowd), your DVD collection isn't complete without Black Books.

Thanks for the info

Unfortunately Anchor Bay's quite expensive OOP release seems to be the only uncut with OAR as Universal's seems to be blown up to 1:78:1.

A great, great movie. Gotta lot of time for it. Keach is so damned good in that, like most things he's in to be honest. Enjoy.

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs · #**11779** 28th November 2011, 07:33 PM

Just ordered this from Italy.
Looks good in that BD case eh?

I've got the Criterion disc for the extras,but I love this artwork!

Nipped into HMV on Saturday after a haircut and consoled myself with a few DVDs.
Tears For Sale - I heard about this vaguely last year and found it randomly amongst the boxsets - obviously someone changed their mind) - really looking forward to watching this.
The Filth And the Fury - Sex Pistols doc directed by Julien Temple who's made two of my favourite so bad, they're brilliant music movies (Absolute Beginners and Running Out Of Luck).
Rivals - 70s set crime flick with Guillame Canet and Francois Cluzet (director/actor and star respectively of Tell No One) - never heard of it, but sounds interesting.
And Aussie 2 disc edition of Stone arrived after purchasing it on eBay a few weeks back.
