It's a good start... I don't even know what to recommend to you as I don't know what you've seen or what you like.

[eXcentris]

All excellent choices. Sorry, no ratings. I don't see the point unless they are accompanied by a review. :)

[DrGerbil]

Nice shipment. Only 10 more to go... :thumbsup:

i pretty much like anything i checked out murder memories and that sounds good, also whats the best place to order from? ive used amazon.co.uk for a few so just wondering what else is out there.

[Giles]

there a ton of place to order DVD's I use Amazon.co.uk, their France/German, and Japanese site.

the best way to get an overrall gist of what's available is to frequent these sites

- sendit.com has a great "coming soon" list
- here in International Talk - "what have you ordered recently"
- dvdbeaver.com
- dvdtimes.co.uk
- DDDHouse and HKFlicks

just a start to vast world of other Region releases.

Also, if you find yourself going overboard with your money on terms of buying DVD's but still want to keep abreast with the latest titles:

Nicheflix is THE BEST outlet for renting non-region 1 DVD's

[atreyurock]

ok cool thanks, ive used amazon.co.uk for all my dvds so far, with great results and thats why ive continued to use them. But ill have to check out these other places as well. and prices are really good from them too.

1. Spaced : Definitive Collector's Edition


Excellent British sitcom with a very likable cast.


2. Battle Royale


Has some fun elements, but in the end a very stupid movie.


3. Audition


One of Miikes best.


4. Sympathy For Mr Vengeance
5. Oldboy


Two of the best South Korean movies I have seen so far. :thumbsup:

1. Spaced : Definitive Collector's Edition

Watched it after Shaun of The Dead so couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to. Will try again in a few years.


2. Battle Royale

Piece of garbage.


3. Audition

Great film. The German disc (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=3615) has a mouth-watering transfer.


4. Sympathy For Mr Vengeance
5. Oldboy

Magnificent!

Oh, the pleasures of multi-region and foreign language films. I could easily name another 30 films you'd love but that would be too easy :D

BTW, you must see JSA (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0260991/) and Memories of Murder (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0353969).

I wish I hadn't seen those as I'd love the experience of seeing them again for the first time :(

:D

[atreyurock]

for JSA and Murder Memories does amazon.co.uk have good transfers

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000687FL/qid=1112206048/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/026-6484298-6816404 for JSA

and

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002W12US/qid%3D1112206083/026-6484298-6816404 for murder memories

i order 2 to 3 dvds at a time from them so that would be good .

also looking into Lilya -4ever and irreversible.
