Very good, like all the Swedish imports. They're probably using older masters, but they are a clear bump up from SD. Some of them look really good.

May I ask where you bought it from? I can't find it on the amazon marketplace.

Amazon does have them from time to time as well. If you order 2-3 at once the shipping isn't too bad. About $25 per disc shipped.

$25 is a bit pricey. Now if they had Crimes and Misdemeanors, Stardust Memories or Sleeper.....

This got me to smile.

I'm afraid it's 25 euros including delivery so it is very expensive. I'm going to wait and see if the disc turns up on the amazon marketplace.

If you buy 5 titles the shipping is still 10 euros, so with shipping, the per title cost is $23 USD. Almost like buying here for $20+tax. At least in CA it's almost 8% tax. Anyway, that's how I did it since there's 8-10 Allen titles there.

Unfortunately not that many Scandinavian stores that send outside their respective countries, but http://www.discshop.se does and it seems the prices are more normal there. You can for example get Hollywood Ending for 69 SEK right now. That's less than 10 USD.

Just be careful about the shipping. For people outside of Sweden they charge 100 SEK (about $14) for up to four products, but for five or more they suddenly charge 5 times as much.

Never used them myself, but they might be the best place to order from if you live outside of Scandinavia.

Maybe we could merge these threads?

[Arkadin]

are the scandinavian bds all region free?
Japan also has bd releases of most of these same Woody Allen films, and, of course, they are region a.
I can't believe Lionsgate hasn't released the Miramax Woody Allen titles yet.
(oh wait--it's Lionsgate--I can believe it)

The Japanese release of Mighty Aphrodite looks to be good but I'm going to hold off on the Swedish releases. Those seem like rush job/upconverts. Let's hope MGM (Fox) gets things rolling.

List updated.

I hope Crimes and Misdemeanors is part of MGM's next wave of Woody Allen blu-rays. I'd also like to see Match Point on blu, though I'm not sure who has the rights anymore (Paramount, Dreamworks, Warner Bros??!?).

Also, the first post lists Whatever Works as OOP, but Amazon currently has it in stock, with the familiar "more on the way" next to the # in stock.

Match Point in Blu-ray is available as an import on Deep Discount, but pricey: $41.85

[GregBlu5]

SLEEPER and HANNAH AND HER SISTERS are only $16.14 in Blu-ray on DeepDiscount right now. Ordered both there. Over $3 bucks cheaper, each, than on amazon.com

[Blu Manchu]

There is also Woody Allen: A Documentary which has been released on blu in the UK.

$9.98 each at Sam's Club, if you can get them there.

I have a feeling there will be some kind of box set of the MGM/UA Woody films in the not too distant future.

There were three MGM/UA DVD Woody Allen box sets put out a number of years ago.

DVD The Woody Allen Collection 1
- Annie Hall (on Blu)
- Bananas
- Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex...
- Interiors
- Love and Death
- Manhattan (on Blu)
- Sleeper (on Blu)
- Stardust Memories

DVD The Woody Allen Collection 2
- Alice
- Another Woman
- Crimes and Misdemeanors
- September
- Shadows and Fog

DVD The Woody Allen Collection 3
- Broadway Danny Rose
- Hannah and Her Sisters (on Blu)
- A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy
- The Purple Rose of Cairo
- Radio Days
- Zelig

So we've got 4 out of 19 titles on Blu so far. Considering how slow MGM is putting these titles out onto Blu, I'm guessing it'll be quite a while before we get all 19 of these titles in one complete box set.
