Any Spanish, South American, or Italian Online Retailers
First of all let me say that I have a very eclectic taste in films and a Multi
Region Player. I enjoy browsing to see what's outside the U.S.
I have gotten some Region 4 (Austrailia) DVDs and would like to investigate Region 4-
South America.
I also know that www.dvdgo.com is a Region 2 Spanish etailer (haven't tried them
though) and am curious if there are other etailers from that area as well.
The Inquiry for Italian retailers (Also Region 2 I think) was simply thrown in
because I didn't feel the need to start a new thread. And, the Italian films that I have
seen, I have enjoyed.

I just placed an order at http://www.veo-veo.com for some Spanish DVDs. I haven't received them yet but they had the best combination of price and shipping.
There's also a decent Spanish DVD price comparison tool at http://www.mundodvd.com/

They are serious, and the prices are good (expecially shipping rates: for USA 1/2 DVD 4.59 Euro, 3/5 DVD 6.14 Euro, 6/10 DVD 8.72 Euro). Unfortunately the site is almost in italian, but if you need a translation or other contact me, I'm italian, I'll glad to help you.
There are even other good retailers, but unfortunately they don't ship outside Europe.

For a web translator, if you haven't tried it before...
Babelfish
Just plug in the url and select the language conversion. It does a fair job in the translation... most of the time.
Note!! I had to use the following url to get the dvdland site to work...
just paste this into babelfish:
http://www.dvdland.it/index2.html
cheers,
Gabe

Thanks for all of the URLs. Its fun expanding my DVD horizons beyond Region 1.
I also find that I can pick up a little foreign language as I'm navigating the sites.

I only have experiences with dvdgo and they're among the best I ever dealt with. When the guy from ups only left a notice that he'd come again the next day dvdgo phoned me that evening to make sure that everything is allright. And they're fast, too.

2. I highly recommend "La Comunidad" (aka Commonwealth). I have the R2 Spanish double disk CE. The extras are all in Spanish but the main feature has English subtitles. The movie is a black comedy about the residents of an apartment building battling over a dead man's lottery prize. Carmen Maura is superb in the lead role of a new tenant who accidentally discovers the money. If you liked "Waking Ned Devine" you'll love "La Comunidad".
3. I also have "Torrente" (Stupid Arm of the Law). I can give this one a cautious recommendation. Santiago Segura plays a politically incorrect alcoholic cop investigating some drug traffickers. The Spanish DVD is R0 and loaded with extras. Only the main feature has English subtitles. A sequel (Torrente 2) is now available on DVD and is considered to be a better movie, but I don't have it yet.

Re: Any Spanish, South American, or Italian Online Retailers
Hi All,
I have just joined the forum.
I order italian DVDs from Internet Bookshop Italia (don't let the name put you off they sell more than books). I would have posted the URL but I haven't been on the forum long enough for it to allow me to do so.
They have quite a wide range of DVDs have quick delivery and they deliver to the USA.
I am in the process of working my way through all the seasons of Distretto di Polizia...I'm loving it. It is helping me to improve my italian.
Regards
Ian

I dont recommend the Torrente trilogy - studid movies and a waste of money. And La Communidad is a good film, but not worth the money to choose the import over the ntsc region 1 dvd called Common Wealth.
