re: The Official Eureka / Masters of Cinema Thread
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?

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).

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.

The DVDs are among the nicest looking DVDs we've ever released. They look stunning, which is why we're not waiting! Thanks!
btw. Both films have full, new, exclusive commentary tracks by David Kalat.

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

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.

I think it's time for me to start my MOC collection by getting Sunrise and City Girl BDs and Eureka seems to have the best price. Anyone know of a better price?

No, £12.99 each is a pretty good deal. Both are £15.99 from Amazon before VAT is removed and shipping added. You're in for a real treat with the Murnaus - both, especially City Girl, look phenomenal. Tokyo Sonata and Mad Detective @ £8.99 each are serious steals as well.

They do not remove VAT, but offer free shipping worldwide. Amazon, by comparison, charges £3 shipping for the first item and £1 for each additional one. VAT is roughly £2 and change per title. For example, Rolling Thunder has a listed sale price of £14.93 on Amazon, but is £12.44 after VAT removal.
