I am unsure what you mean, this is what I see:

Availability: In stock. Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk.

Sorry, just found it. Added to my wish list, thanks.

I placed an order for the upcoming Second Run DVD of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Seems like a pretty interesting movie.

Noirfan, I added MoC's Vampyr to DVDSpot if you wanted to add it to your page.

I've got Valerie pre-ordered as well. I gave up adding R2 titles to DVD Spot, as no one else seemed to ever add them. You should consider migrating your collection to DVDAf: they've gotten more personalized now, they seem to have most R2 titles, and the cover art is always high quality, unlike at DVD Spot.

Valerie pre-ordered here, as well. Since some of my last order hadn't shipped (but some had! -- I thought they always combined.), I canceled the remainder of my previous order to make a larger order:

1 "Akasen Chitai/Yokihi [Masters Of Cinema] [1955]"
Machiko Kyo; DVD; £12.75
1 "Syndromes And A Century [2006]"
Nantarat Sawaddikul; DVD; £11.05
1 "Tropical Malady (Sud Pralad) [2004]"
Banlop Lomnoi; DVD; £7.64
1 "Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (Remastered edition) [1970]"
Jaroslava Schallerova; DVD; £7.64
1 "Judex/Nuits Rouges [Masters of Cinema] [1963]"
Edith Scob; DVD; £12.75
1 "BFI 75 10 DVD Box Set - European Cinema (Limited to 500 copies - Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk)"Robert Bresson; DVD; £48.50

I'm excited for the BFI box... just had to sell off a couple. I haven't seen the BFI Cercle Rouge, so curious to compare colors with the CC.

I ended up cancelling my BFI box order. I was able to obtain The Innocents through an exchange. So..that's all I need.

The Ship Sails On in particular isn't much better than their Taviani discs - lack of anamorphic enhancement, etc. The color scheme however is once again (!) better than what the Criterion disc reveals. I think that it is a minor upgrade but the lack of anamorphic enhancement is particularly disappointing. Especially given that most of Infinity's Fellini discs were released after the Criterions.

The screencaps were certainly underwhelming, but even a minor upgrade over the Criterion, with all of the extras included in the Infinity set, is certainly worth the sale price. I don't see Criterion revisiting Ship any time soon either.

Maybe I just mailed it to you today?

The Passion of Darkly Noon (Amazon.fr) -- An order spurred on by the announcement of Philip Ridley's third film, and I believe this is the only currently available version in widescreen.

Also considering the BFI Innocents disc since it's half price right now...

[REC] (Amazon.co.uk: £8.49)

[Preterite]

I've put in three order from Amazon.co.uk in the last month or so.

1) The Quatermass Collection was on sale for half the normal price, so I bit on that and Man to Man with Dean Learner, which I've been enjoying more than I did Darkplace so far.

2) Ordered Adam Adamant Lives! (also on sale for about half the normal price) and [Rec] last week.

3) Saw the thread here on the Prime Suspect Complete Collection and jumped on it. I was only missing #3 and #5, but for that price I couldn't resist. And I'll be upgrading my ancient Anchor Bay flippers of #1 and #2 to nice new uncut editions, complete with Zoe Wanamaker boobies.

[Ghostbuster]

I ordered Kill Bill (Japan/R2). I probably should have ordered another DVD at the same time since shipping is so expensive. Oh well.

I really love those MoC Mizoguchi double features. Be prepared for some distractingly weird 50s sci-fi music on Akasen Chitai though.
