I got 6 disc set (Scandinavian) few years ago through UK Amazon with DDD
& had some other classics and were basically VS standard DVD's so very good quality(even think one was a port/bootleg of VS release)

NSFW but this is a classic and decent quality, with Eng track
https://www.diabolikdvd.com/product/...-pal-region-2/

PT 2 def has Eng track too
but not sure on others as there were 5 or 6

you can also find them on Amazon.de
just search Josefine Mutzenbacher
it's around 30 euro's
was on D&T but can't see it there anymore

Jean Rollin's Countess X DVD is available on eBay for around £10 it's in French with Eng Subs (Scandinavian release)

only other's I can think of would be basically all of the Eng friendly Alpha France DVD releases
but they are very hard to find or very expensive like 40 euros each
I got a few through Diabolik prob 5-10 years ago now

Fantastic disc.

Both cuts (CREATURE and TITAN FIND) are included. The CREATURE cut looks really nice. This is from a new scan of the OCN, and it shows. Sadly, TITAN FIND, whilst the best it’s looked, is far more unpolished, sourced from a vault print and unrestored. It’s still watchable though.

Extras, there’s a ‘making of’ which interviews various members of the cast and crew, and an interview with Director, William Malone. These are about 15 minutes apiece, and very nice watches. There’s also a commentary from THE HYSTERIA CONTINUES! but I haven’t listened to that yet.

Many thanks to VS for showing this movie some love. It’s been treated fairly poorly down the years and it’s great seeing it look this good.

This is a movie that scared the living shit out of me when I first saw it back in the 80s. My Grandad let me watch almost anything; Aliens when I was 10, Terminator when I was 8 etc, and nothing scared me as much as this film (think I was 9 when I first saw it!).

Region A-locked sadly.

I adore these films. C.S. Lewis’ books were a huge part of my childhood. I’d never have graduated to Tolkien without having gone through the Narnia novels many times before. As adaptations go these are pretty decent, certainly good enough for me.

Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon, with the youngest, transfixed as we watched them back-to-back.

I didn't watch this as much as I watched BTAS back in the day, so it'll be nice to finally view it in its entirety.

Did it have any movies like BTAS did?

Brainiac Attacks, although it doesn’t adhere to the series continuity, so technically it’s not, however it’s the same voice cast and animation style.

I'll look into it.
Thanks.

Surprisingly the 1997 one hour documentary Troell made built around the expedition photos (the pictures survived: the men did not) does have English subtitles, but it's the only extra that does. The Super 8mm footage of the location recce is mute while the outtakes are a mixture of mute and wild track sound. Aside from the unsubtitled commentary all the extras are on a separate DVD. Though listed as Region B, it is also Region A.

Great news on the documentary having English subtitles. It appears the two films appeared together on a DVD set before but of course a Blu-ray is better.

Where is the best place to order the Blu-ray from?

I can't paste the link on the device I'm on at the moment but go back to my reply to DefLeppard on page 3406 for it - papercut is the only outlet I know currently shipping to the UK, but fast and very well packed (BarnDoor recommended them to me, for which I'm immensely grateful). It's currently just 99 SEK. I'd also recommend picking up Man on the Roof as well for the same price.

Shipping comes up as 100 SEK, so I’m not sure what else to pair it with to make the shipping a little more comfortable besides what has already been mentioned.

Two films works out around ￡25 with shipping. They didn't have some of the titles I was interested in like Hollywood Ending (I have the other titles in that US set except for Anything Else) or the 2006 New Zealand film Out of the Blue but I also picked up Silver Streak: the OOP US disc goes for silly money and this edition has extras.
