The BFI Blu-ray and DVD Release Thread

Here's a pic of my flipside collection so far:

The Bed Sitting Room, Herostratus, and Man of Violence are the original BD only releases, whilst the rest are the newer dual format releases.

I have Deep End and Alice. I don't actually know if they are part of the Flipside range or not though!

Deep End is, but Alice isn't.

Both fantastic releases of great films, though.

I forgot Deep End! I'd have to say that's probably my absolute favourite so far. I wrote a piece on it last year for Cinema Retro. I am in love with Jane Asher in that film.

She's like a Manic Pixie Dream Girl with depth of character. I love that the film doesn't shy away from showing her awful side.


Just in case:

That's really interesting. I've never heard of the MPDG concept, but it certainly fits.

It's highly unlikely re. The Devils. The current DVD release is as good as it's going to get for a while yet I think.

Blu Ray mate.

And having watched it last night,I'd say you were spot on mate!

Live birth anyone?

I need some recommendations, I really want to add some more of these to my collection. What would you recommend?

I have the Deep End Blu already, fantastic film and package. What else do I need?

Her Private Hell. The only one I can recomend (as it's the only one I own) but it's really rather good.
