May titles are getting announced now. The first one, Street of Shadows, is already out on DVD from VCI under US title, Shadow Man, but the disc includes UK version.

"The Drum" looks like quite an improvement over the transfer in the Criterion/Eclipse set.

2 more titles announced - including another Blu-ray release!

Some more new titles... "Evergreen" and "There Goes the Bride" have been released by Network in the past; they've now been repackaged for the label's Jessie Matthews series.

 

[David Weicker]

I was hoping that Evergreen might get a Blu release.

Oh well

 

[classicmovieguy]

I was hoping that a few of the Jessie Matthews titles might get Blu releases... let's still hope...

Network has just announced their 'Spring Sale' - 40% off most titles on their website. The sale is on for one week only.

Well it's something, but significantly worse than their last couple of sales which were at least 50% many items.
I was hoping to get Space 1999 S1 BD back down to £10-12 plus The Prisoner and Space S2. With the sale they
are only slightly better than Amazon on some of these items.

With the shipping costs I think I'll keep waiting, but at least they remove VAT unlike some other UK sellers.

I purchased 9 'British Film' titles (including two Blu-rays) and the total with postage came to just over AU$80. I think that's a pretty good deal. Love hanging out for these sales.

When you purchase 10 titles in the British Films series the shipping is only £7.85 to the US. The 11th titles makes shipping £40... My total came to £42.75 for 10 DVDs - that's just a little over US $6 for each title..

That's a really good deal too. It pays to wait for their sales.

Last night I placed a second order with 10 more 'British Film' titles - and both of my orders shipped out later that night. Looking forward to all my movies arriving. With this sale I only have 8 'British Film' titles remaining on my wish-list (and those were not included in the sale being recent releases), so I think I did well.

A quick question for anybody who has purchased Network's release of "Duel in the Jungle". In the 16:9 version of the film, my copy freezes up for a few seconds near the very end of the film, when Dana Andrews is being pulled out of the river (skipping some lines of dialogue). Is this an awkwardly-placed layer change or a manufacturing defect?

 

[Keith Cobby]

Just checked my copy and it seems to be OK.

 

[classicmovieguy]

My copy plays perfectly on my computer's DVD drive, but both my DVD players as well as my Blu-ray player have trouble in the area I've described. I'll buy a second copy and see how that goes.

Network's 40% off sale only has 2 more days to run... lots of bargains are still to be had. In the meanwhile some exciting new titles have been unveiled for release in the next few months...
