Thanks for the info, Gordon. Now, I'm off to find some money under the couch cushions to buy these.

WOW! Thanks, Gordon!


I've wanted to watch BAD TIMING (1980) for ages and I'm so glad I held out on that R2 DVD.

The same goes for Anchor Bay's edition of THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1976), of course, although in its case I've watched it twice already via my "Maverick Directors Collection" PAL VHS; actually, it left me quite underwhelmed and baffled on first viewing but I loved it the second time around.

I'll obviously be purchasing BOUDU SAVED FROM DROWNING (1932) - certainly one of Renoir's best and most enjoyable films - and HARA KIRI (1962), which I haven't watched either; but, in the case of FRANCESCO, GIULLARE DI DIO (1950), I'm going for Eureka's "Masters Of Cinema" R2 edition.
