The Official Network Thread

[samdvd1]

There are a number of Network titles in Amazon's 2 for £10 offer including Ransom for those interested.

[Norbie]

Is Network's The Lady Vanishes and The Man Who Knew Too Much the same transfers as Criterions? Also, are they improved or not?

New artwork for the upcoming Halas & Batchelor short film collection out on 29th June

Should get my copy of Network's Blu-ray of Sabotage sometime this week. Only based on testing the disc out (skipping through the chapters), but I thought The Outsider looked a bit soft compared to some of the other black and white films Network have released on Blu-ray.

It looks like the Deadlier Than the Male Blu-ray will finally get released (next Monday is the new release date). A sign on Network's website which tells me that a Blu-ray release of a film isn't going to be delayed or delayed further, is when promo stills etc. from the film are added to it's listing page on Network's website (Deadlier Than the Male and The Man with the Golden Arm's listing pages now have stills on them).

Has Network's Blu-ray release of Insignifiance been scrapped, and any sign of when The Professionals: Mk IV will get released on Blu-ray?

[Vakulinchuk]

my copy of Deadlier than the Male is on its way and should arrive within the week. Crossing fingers that the upgrade from my Network DVD will be worthy.

[Vakulinchuk]

Having watched it just now, and compared side with the DVD, a modest, serviceable upgrade that uses the same master as before.

Tempting if you have never seen the movie, but since the DVD edition came with Some Girls Do, maybe you can still favor that one if you find it.

So there's a Network 40% Off Sale on at the moment, and it apparently includes everything released on and before March 9th 2015...but for some reason all the titles I want aren't discounted. Am I missing something? Looking to pick up Bad Timing and The Thief of Bagdad ASAP!

[BarnDoor]

Shame. Guess I'll have to wait until the next sale for the likes of The Nightcomers and The One That Got Away

Nope, they should both be in the sale. In fact all of these should:

Young and Innocent
The Man Who Knew Too Much
The Lady Vanishes
The Thief of Bagdad
The Last Seduction
Bad Timing
A Man About the House
The Tamarind Seed
Raise the Titanic
The Legend of the Lone Ranger
Warn That Man
The Nightcomers
Waterfront
The One That Got Away
Hot Enough for June

I've mentioned it to Network and they said they're looking into it. My guess is they just forgot to add a load to the sale section, so they should be changed soon hopefully.

[BarnDoor]

Well I'll definitely be throwing some business their way if they change those! Good spot.

[rapta]

Okay cool, they're sorting it out now and those titles will be added soon!

PS: sorted, just ordered Bad Timing and The Thief of Bagdad for £5.51 each! Might get a few more over the weekend...The Medusa Touch, Animal Farm, and if I can brave the dodgy transfer, The Last Seduction. Maybe a couple of Hitchcock titles too (like The Man Who Knew Too Much and The Lady Vanishes).

[Koroshiya Ichi]

Always love these sales from Network.
Just ordered 4 titles including Sabotage for £8.43 inc. which is a good deal, however now it didn't say it was at a reduced price and now I'm reading about titles not yet having been reduced (Sabotage maybe?).
Does anyone know how i can cancel my order through the Network-site?
I can't find it, however if it's not possible it's no big deal.

Only titles that were released on or before March 9th 2015 are included in the sale. Anything released after that won't be in this sale, but may be in their next one in a few months. Sabotage is quite a new release so won't be in the sale yet.

[Koroshiya Ichi]

@rapta
Thanks for the information.
Thought I was a bit too quick with my order, but probably not.

[BarnDoor]

Cheers. Got both titles for £11.02 delivered. I doubt The Nightcomers will be particularly good but at that price it's worth a punt.

[moviegeek1992]

How bad is the transfer for The Last Seduction, is it an improvement over the DVD?

only on blu rays right? Their dvds seem to have no discount.

[Patient-X]

Just bought The Thief of Bagdad, The Ipcress File and Capricorn One, I was tempted to get His and Hers too - anyone have this, what's the quality like?

PQ is pretty good.

[CrockettandTubbs]

HMV back online and now another Network sale? My poor wallet

But, Black Narcissus and Countess Dracula for £5.51 each!
