Oh that was like the first movie in my life I was truly obsessing over, I've seen it over 17 times in theaters, I got the PC game, I got a VHS for 90 dollars during rental priced only window, etc... hmm going over this right now makes me a little sorry about all the money but anyway, I'm saying that to justify paying $40 for it shipped from Germany.
I've ordered it at the only place I know of that has it, Amazon.de heh, it's about 23 euros/dollars plus the shipping was expensive, those rest 17 bucks.
I know if you go to the site and just search for it in english it will only match 1 item, the UK import release, you gotta type in Funfte.

Oh and, of course, there is NO way I'm letting go of it :D

[mikegray]

Got Bridget Jones this week, Godfather Box Set, and have TPM on the way from aus.

[SimonI]

The one problem with Internet ordering (which is pretty much all I do) is that you don't know when stuff is going to turn up: quite often a whole pile of stuff all arrives on the same day, which doesn't make me popular with the boss...

Possibly coming in this week:

Notorious (Criterion)
Armageddon cheap R2 two-disk
Jeunet & Caro coffret integrale R2

Oh, and next week: Come and see (R1)... at last (I hope)!!

[Ono]

I think the only thing coming this week is:

SHREK



From discemporium.


Should be here Friday.

Too right it's not bad!!


Discemporium are sooo early with their deliveries.

October has been an extremely costly week for DVDs...

Some old, some new:

Antz
When Harry met Sally
Dogma
Hallowen
Godfather box set
French Connection box set
League of Gentlemen series 2
Phantom Menace
Final Fantasy

Which is possibly more than enough for me at the moment...

(With the exception of Shrek, and Planet of the Apes in November...)

Ah, but at what price? I am interested. ;)

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within 07 - October - 2001 Zone 1 DVD £ 20.99 please tell me you didn't pay this price for it?

[GK]

DDDHouse shipped Battle Royale and Shaolin Soccer yesterday - should be here by Friday. Can't wait.

I've seen the Kylie 'DVD' on a VHS sent from a friend in Oz earlier in the year and the concert is superb, as was the tour itself.

[adamvbarker]

When I posted about expecting a Truffaut box-set on this thread last week, it jinxed it and the studio put it back a month.
So this week I'm not even going to mention Bio-zombie, Gonin, Audition, Haunted Mansion, Visible Secret & Vampire Controller , all from dddhouse.
And I'm certainly not going to mention The Graduate & Richard III (even though it's the wrong ratio) from Play247.

[rumbletum]

So far I have received

Star Wars: TPM
Bridget Jones Diary
Bugs Life Special Edition

Hopefully these should be winging there way to me

Shaolin Soccer
Stargate
Transformers
Monty Python & the Holy Grail
Heathers Tin (anyone know if this is out yet?)
