Preorder the "Metropolis" BD+DVD Steelbook edition and get a Metropolis T-Shirt.

Just to clarify, the steelbook itself will still be available after the free T-shirt promo has ended, although it is still a limited edition.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Extras on La Signora Di Tutti:

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

There is no way it won't be B-locked.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Yes, it's Region B. There's a thread discussing this and other MoC Blu-rays here.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

But you can see it in cinemas the next week-end, together with Au bout du souffle.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Abhijan and Gandahar are OOP.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Add Michael to the list.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

I think that's been known for a while... Got my METROPOLIS shirt the other day. Anyone else?

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Any still not have the Naruse set? Now's your chance.

Found a copy at HMV Hong Kong! Lucky me!

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Nice find! Abhijan probably looks better than any of the other Ray DVDs.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

I got 2 of them actually. Only ordered 1 though...

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Great deal on La Notte. I had been meaning to upgrade my Fox Lorber disc, which has conveniently gone OOP. If it sells, it will pay for my MoC purchase and a little bit more.

Tempted by the Naruse set, but decided to continue to pass (ditto on the 12.99 and up BDs).

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

If you're even a casual fan of classic world cinema, this is a must-own set, especially at £13.99. It even includes a 184-page book. Here's the DVD Beaver review.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

I'm certainly interested in the Mabuse box, and the BDs, but I don't think I'll have the funds any time soon.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

So which one is better, Mabuse or Naruse? :D

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

A combination of the two: Maruse

Which are you more insterested in? Science Fiction madness or Human conflict dramas?

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Or Nabuse.
I actually am interested in both. Obviously I made a joke here, and i have the two Naruse box sets already (MoC and BFI), the first one as a personal purchase, the second one as a gift, and they haven't disappointed me one bit.
I guess I'm aiming for some good deal on the Mabuse box set as well.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

I'm also holding out for a lower price on the Mabuse set. The Naruse set is, of course, excellent.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

I went ahead and bought The Savage Innocents earlier in the month as it looked interesting in terms of story, cast, and director. I was pretty disappointed. I read a review before watching it about how the movie was degrading toward the Inuit culture and I have to agree. The best part was seeing Peter O'Toole in his breakout performance. Anthony Quinn was almost unwatchable for me. I'm usually able to watch a film in the mind set of when it was made (e.g. the treatment of Native Americans in Stagecoach, which didn't bother me) but this movie just seemed like complete buffoonery.

I'm pondering ordering The Prisoner of Shark Island and Nightmare Alley (I already own Gandahar). I import lots of PAL discs for various reasons but I always prefer to buy NTSC if I can. In regards to Nightmare Alley, is the MoC release worth buying over the domestic Fox disc? The Fox disc is missing some extras but has the meat and bones (commentary and trailer) and it looks like they came out around the same time so I'm assuming they're from the same master. Does anyone have advice on which disc to order?

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Both editions of Nightmare Alley are taken from the same master. If you're a die-hard fan of the film, the MoC has a 10 minute intro and a 25 minute discussion by Woody Haut, plus a booklet. Here's the DVD Beaver comparison. The R1 Shark Island disc looks significantly better than the MoC, and has a different commentary. Here's the DVD Beaver comparison. I'd say go with R1 for both, they're probably cheaper, and in the case of Shark Island's transfer, superior.

How fast is the delivery for orders made on their website? I ordered a copy of Gandahar more than a month ago and it hasn't arrived yet (in South Carolina).

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Definitely check with them, I've never had anything take that long.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Thanks. I e-mailed them, and the answer was that they shipped it right away, but they will send it again, now that it hasn't arrived.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Does anyone remember how much this Mabuse set was during their October discount period?

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

The Lubitsch box is going OOP.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

missed it when it was at 25 pounds at Amazon.... hopefully a discounted one will come soon

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Here for £29.99 for 48 hours with free shipping. Not as good as £25 but much better than the £49.99 on Amazon currently.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Yup, so that's what I did, ordered from Eureka directly

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Grr, looks like I'll be waiting...

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

What an eye-catching cover! I wish we didn't have to hold out for another year or two for the Blu-ray.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Jeez, even the MOC collection is already past its 100th mark. Even accounting for some of them that I bought and for some which I have a comparable edition for, there's quite a few on the waiting list to be activated once I actually start earning money (I'm slated to get my terminal degree in May).

I guess i should start looking for jobs in the UK.

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

Extras on the Lang double-feature:

re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
 

I'm gonna wait for Blu-ray on these.
