They also have Thunderbirds for £64.98 but note that is cropped from 1.33:1 to 1.78:1

I've gotten Black Narcissus from them (terrific Blu release). Also on their 3 for 2 sale, I received Mona Lisa Smile, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Zulu (incredible title on Blu). Each of the last three were about 12 pounds, so it works out to 8 pounds each inthe sale. Here's the link to it:

I have also had Great Expectations, Bugsy Malone, and Boys from Brazil on order from them for awhile but the package got lost. I wrote them about it and they have sent out another group at no charge right away. And the apology email from them was astonishing in its politeness:

"In addition to a wide selection of items, one of our aims at Amazon.co.uk is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have not met that standard. Please accept our sincere apologies.

It does appear that something may have gone awry with the delivery of your order...the package should have reached you by now.

I have placed a new order for the same items to be sent to the same delivery address...

We will post it to you as soon as possible at no additional charge.

I am very sorry that we were not able to meet your expectations this time around. I hope that you will allow us another opportunity to prove the quality of our service to you in the future."

Dang, I almost hope the original package never shows up because after such a nice note from them, I would hate to say, "Sorry, it's here."

Just make sure before you order that the titles you select are region free to play in North America. The ones I've mentioned in this post all are.
