Depends on what youre looking for - I get all my UK discs from Blackstar, and I have NEVER had a problem with them. Most of my R2 Japanese discs come www.amotokyo.com - a bunch of fanboys who deliver the goods to other fanboys across the ocean. I've not bought anything from them, but I hear good things about http://www.ezydvd.com.au/

And don't forget that Amazon.com is international. Your account will work at www.amazon.co.uk , www.amazon.dk , amazon.fr , amazon.ca . amazon.co.jp , etc..

For in-store imports in New York, many people seem to recommend "Kim's Video".

Definitely KIM's here in NYC - one of the few places carrying DVDs from other regions.

I thought play.com didn't ship to the U.S.. Did they change their policy? Their website still excludes North America from the list of countries they ship to.

theres a good list of dvd suppliers across the world at www.sexgoremutants.co.uk ...

but also : http://www.allocine.fr/ (french dvds) ... www.absurd-online.dk (dutch) ... http://www.dvdland.it/principale.asp (italy ) ... most people use either www.yesasia.com or www.cdjapan.co.jp for japanese disc (they do korean and chinese and HK also : but slightly overpriced - but free shipping and guaranteed import duty-free...) . for HK i suggest either www.dddhouse.com or www.layoyo.com and for korean i use www.koreandvds.com (all superb)... the amazon "tip" is good also : i.e sign up in one country (USA) and order from any amazon site and your account will exist there also : so you can order from amazon.co.uk... and so on...
