    F.W. Murnau / Frank Borzage box set from Fox

    The $170.00 price tag might seem outrageous, but it's a 12 DVD set - about $14 a piece - not too bad, considering the titles included in the set. I, personally, would consider paying this much just for the three Borzage great silents (7th heaver, The Lucky Star, and Street Angel). I am also not...

    FOX HORROR CLASSICS: VOLUME II

    Not sure about the other ones but Dragonwyck has been previously released on DVD (region 2 - UK and region 4 - Australia). It's an outstanding movie and, for someone who does not own it already, it's worth buying the set for this movie alone.

    Marlene Dietrich DVDs On Region 1??

    Keep in mind that the ones referred in Xploited Cinema are region 2 French editions. This would justify getting a region-free DVD player. For an ultimate Marlene Dietrich surprise, get this UK Dietrich collection. It contains Shanghai Express - the only official DVD edition of this...

    Just got an all-region capable player. Any non-R1 discs I should look for?

    One of the best sources of the region-free DVD information is www.dvdbeaver.com. The site has excellent movie reviews, comparisons of different releases of the same titles, lists of upcoming releases in all regions, interesting articles, and other useful information. I highly recommend it.

    What are some good places to order Region 2 DVDs from, besides Amazon???

    www.xploitedcinema.com is located in the US and specializes in non-Region 1 DVDs. They are very fast and reliable and the shipping costs are very reasonable for the US residents.

    What are some good places to order Region 2 DVDs from, besides Amazon???

    I would not recommend www.dvdi.co.uk. Their prices may seem attractive, but the service is extremely slow and they do not respond to e-mails. I will never order from them again.
