Having read many of the replies and on the whole we mostly seem in favour of them.I believe the newspapers are providing an excellent addition that in a lot of cases the person may have never seen the film due to high costs.It has to be a good thing if even one of the dvds opens up an interest in movies for someone.Doesnt anyone think that dvds/videos are overpriced from the start anyway.Yes the film industry has to make money to survive but the profits are getting ridculous.The bottom line is that we pay and if a newspaper can bring down the cost of an old film to the point of it being free.
Then I am all for it.I have seen money wasted on films that will never make a cinema let alone a dvd.Having worked at three mill studios in east london you would be amazed just how many films are made and nothing is ever heard of them.Maybe if dvds had a fixed price of say £5 from the word off the pirates would be finished or is the industry behind them.How many pirates are direct copies from the studios or from a trusted employee?
What are the best films that have been given away in your view?

Indeed it is.

The best films that ITC (Grade's production company back then) use to distribute were imo Capricorn One,The Eagle Has Landed and the TV mini-series Jesus of Nazareth but they made a lot of rubbish films too.
There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.

'Raise the Titanic' would definitely also go in the rubbish films category of those made by Lew Grade.

In another forum I have just noted that I watched last night the 1979 All Quiet on the Western Front (one of the Daily Mail freebees) which was a Lew Grade production. Imo this is a suprisingly good remake and one for which he and his team deserve some praise.

All of the five charity stores near me won't ask for money for theses DVD's when they wind up being donated. They have this policy, and give them away free, since they say that it is against the law to sell material like this that has been given away as part of a promotion. Perhaps the eBay sellers should be made aware of this ?

I don't know how common it is but I would imagine that some people do it. There's little else in there to differentiate between them or to warrant buying them

Thanks for this information. Does anyone know which DVD is issued on which day?

Usual problem of getting to a Tescos or WHS on days when I want the DVDs (some, but not all)
