Region 4 Releases a Slew of Classic British Movies

[ernie6]

I have just noticed that Australia has just released or is about to release several three-disc collections of British films. Many are already available in Region 1 or 2 but a tantalising selection are not available at all or have to be expensively imported from places like Spain or Greece. Here are the ones I thought most interesting:-



The Seekers (Jack Hawkins)

The Planter's Wife (Jack Hawkins)

The Boys in Brown (Dirk Bogarde/Richard Attenborough)

A Place of One's Own (James Mason)

My Brother's Keeper (Jack Warner/George Cole)

O.H.M.S. (John Mills)

Sapphire (Nigel Patrick/Michael Craig)

The Astonished Heart (Noel Coward)

Passage Home (Peter Finch)

No Love for Johnnie (Peter Finch)

Robbery Under Arms (Peter Finch)

To Paris with Love (Alec Guinness)

Venetian Bird (Richard Todd)

Nothing But the Night (Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing/Diana Dors)

The High Bright Sun (Dirk Bogarde)

So Long at the Fair (Dirk Bogarde)

The Long Duel (Yul Brynner/Trevor Howard)



Unfortunately, because of the way the films are packaged, you will probably end up having to "double dip" with titles you aleady have in your collection. The three-movie "Classic Matinee" collections are not too expensive though. Go to DvdPlaza.com.au and use their PriceCrawler to get the best deals.

Thanks for that some interesting titles as drumbeg says. Think I'll wait for the R1 of Nothing but the night though. Scorpian are quite good with their releases.
