Well to be honest it was available for about two days or so... But really even if it was available in the form they had then, there would be no point anyway--having to pay UPS fee more than the price of discs plus shipping? No thanks, no matter how much I want a movie, I will not accept that...
Well, the international shipping was available for a few days... that's how I managed to place my order. However, considering the shipping costs and the UPS fees that come on top (which for me, as I've mentioned before in this thread ended up being $110 for a $80 order inc. $20 shipping) it's...
I don't mind telling you the titles, they are not particularly embarrassing. :-) I ordered Three Comrades, Shopworn Angel (these two because I am a big fan of Margaret Sullavan--I have long since given up hope of catching these on TCM; Comrades was shown once a few years ago but I was traveling...
Yeah, I know that about paying import duty on the whole thing inc. shipping, but nevertheless... based on my experiences with Amazon et al, the duties+fees would have been under $20 had this been sent by regular post--I am in Switzerland, so import duty is about 7% plus I think about CHF 10...
Yes. I live in Europe, ordered 3 DVDs--plus shipping comes out to about $80 or so. Found a paper slip from UPS today in my mailbox: I have to pay the equivalent of $110 in fees on top of the $80 that I already paid--that's correct, the fees are almost 50% more than the actual purchase price +...
Not sure where you are clicking but the few films I've tried on Warner's archive all say "Ships Worldwide", for example this one. Maybe you are looking at the download versions, those are definitely US only.
These have appeared in the last few weeks also here in Switzerland under the banner "Finally on DVD". Even the packaging somehow looks cheap, so I didn't at first even realize that these are actually Warner's DVDs until I read the titles. I have looked at some of them in shops and seriously...
Wish I could tell you, but I don't really know. My Japanese reading skills are limited, but as far as I can see, the box mainly gives info about the storyline and cast/directors. I haven't actually watched the full movie yet, but according to my player the length of movie is about 140 min, which...
Just wanted to add my voice here... I find the movies from 1930-1934 completely fascinating but unfortunately have little hope of ever seeing most of them on retail DVDs. General public simply isn't interested and that's the bottom line as far as studios are concerned. So far, TCM seems the...
Have to say that I also though this is the best episode yet, hopefully it will have real consequences and we will not experience the pressing of a dreaded reset button next week. Mason/Daisy dynamic was for me always a favorite part of the show, but even the stuff with George's family seems to...
I am assuming that this is the same as the British R2 edition which has been available for some time, in which case the commentary is by the director (Piers Haggard--I wouldn't call him unknown but he hasn't exactly been directing blockbusters really) and producer (Kenith Trodd). Be aware that...
Some info directly from Switzerland... though not Geneva, I live in Zurich. Expense of living: Generally, it's going to be more expensive than in the US and you will not normally find as many 'deals' in the shops as you find there. However, some can still be found. Let me know if you wan't...
Vincent, there is a phone number listed on the offer that you can call to verify the status of your order if you havent received it in 8 weeks... if you don't have it, it is 1-800-488-4369. I wouldn't necessarily get alarmed about the long wait, they do seem to send out the DVDs in batches...
Just wanted to add my experience here... The shots might be the way to go. I took them for a while a few years ago and my allergies are nowhere near as bad now as they used to be. I could barely get out during this time of year, now I only rarely get severe symptoms. Usually, I just take...
Interestingly, this movie is available on DVD in Japan, although its Amazon.jp page now lists it as being out of print. However, it was definitely available around last christmas because I bought it then. If there is a rumor about a better edition coming I would wait as this one is bare...
I want to add myself to the list here... I live in Switzerland and am absolutely devastated that there is no way for me to have this DVD. I have seen Sunrise only once and that was on a print that was actually missing one reel (the ride to the city)--I still loved it. However, since there...
While definitely being PAL, the DVD is in fact region free, and states so clearly on the box too. However, it also says that the program is in "COLOUR", but it most definitely isn't--the series was shot in black & white.

A few more Astaire movies are available in region 2...

It is also out in Region 2 (France at least) since before Christmas. Additional features are the same as on R4. The aspect ratio is most definitely 1.85.
