Thanks for your help batman, but where can I get the dvds that you list? I've been to amazon(USA), but no luck. Do you have copies or is there a special place where I can purchase them?

There are Amazons all around the world, and they often stock different titles.
Try Amazon UK, Amazon Germany, Amazon France, Amazon Japan, Amazon Canada and even Amazon China (Joyo).
Many of the ones where their first language isn't English have English language sections or if you are used to buying from Amazon they're fairly obvious to navigate.

However, you should check the DVD region and format (PAL or NTSC) and check that your player can play them before buying from any other country.

As well as all those Amazons there are loads of other online retailers, many of them are very respectable and trustworthy. If in doubt, ask here if anyone has experience in buying from them

Thanks for all your help thus far. The Million Pound Note at just under 7 pounds is a real bargain. Wonder if they can ship to Taiwan?

Thanks Batman. I can also see that Lovers, Savage Nights and Docteur Petiot are available on VHS with English subs.

Lacennaire is available on DVD but might not have subs. The Guinea Pig can also be bought on VHS PAL on Amazon.co.uk.

I guess you must have not read the rules. Only requests for British films that can not be obtained in any format are allowed to be posted.

Sorry, I didn't know about those Brit only rules. Having said that, I thought The Bridge and The Picture of Dorian Gray were British, but I haven't found those titles on VHS or DVD thus far. Can you point me in the right direction JamesM? Also I made a request for help in searching for a FRENCH film in the 'Can You Help' forum section. Is that allowed?

Cheers
