Note to wealthy and generous friends: Keep buying me stuff from this list
Are you looking for only DVDs?!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. Let me go back to the post and update it. Thanks !
ReplyDeletei will just wait. tehe. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI asked 'cause I have many of these in vcd/divx formats... Now that you want DVDs, there isn't much we(you know who we here are! ;-)) can do... Oh! I can do one thing... as beatzo suggested, I can go to shanghai/malaysia once... but that's not in the offing! :-)
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, The African Queen was never released on DVD. It's the most awaited DVD in the classi-film communities.
I didn't know about The African Queen not being available on DVD. I don't know about most of the others either - films like El Topo might not be, too.
ReplyDeletei think u should think about shanghai...

irreversible (is a french movie, subtitled is available me thinks)
Very interesting idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHMM you're looking for original ones or.. pirated?
ReplyDeleteAnything with a decent print will do.
ReplyDeleteDivX/XVid rips and a second-hand 21" monitor should suffice, methinks.
ReplyDeleteP.S a second hand 21" monitor comes for 4k in Hyd.
P.P.S Too bad about Bangalore and Cinema Paradiso.
I hate you.
ReplyDeletei could ship some over from malaysia. if you're interested. I'll look around - i rarel by dvds, usually download the rips. but i'll check :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the user-icon brings out the worst in everybody.

Being John Malkovich
Run Lola Run
Shakespeare in Love
Il Postino
The English Patient
A Midsummer Night's Dream

ReplyDeleteOnly English films? What about Hindi classics?
ReplyDeleteI can get Hindi classics out here, won't need rich friends to send them across ;)
From your list, I'd like to have Being John Malkovich, The English Patient and Il Postino sure enough. I have Shakespeare In Love. Not really interested in the rest.
Think the trilogy belongs there ?
ReplyDeleteSure it does ! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteY Tu Mama Tambien?
ReplyDeleteActually I don't know. Haven't seen it nor read enough about it to add it here. Will check anyway.
