Has anyone else who ordered the 3 new flipside titles from Amazon UK been notified of a delay with them? I just got the email saying that it will probably be another couple of weeks as they wait for supply from the distributor... is there a delay from BFI on these or is it just Amazon?

rich_adamson · 01-28-2010, 07:35 PM

Thanks Michael. I kind of figured so, but as I hadn't heard anything on Privilege yet, I'm glad to hear that it was on time.

Bruce Morrison · 02-02-2010, 01:18 PM

The scheduled official release date for 'The Leopard' is February 15th - not far off now. Presumably this will have a corrected transfer, following the mastering error that affected the pre-release version marketed as an HMV exclusive.

Have BFI issued any information yet regarding an exchange programme for those of us who bought incorrect copies from HMV?

Any more info on the latest flipside releases? My order from Amazon UK has still not shipped as of today... and all of the item listings say that they will be in stock in 1-3 weeks each.... I really can't wait to watch Privilege in HD!

Could someone give me some recommendations of BFI titles on Blu? I don't know most of them, but they still look interesting.
And please don't say 'all of them', my wallet is hurting from the MoC and Criterion releases already

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?studioid=120 Browse through and read some of the reviews, and you can pick and choose. I currently only have "The Red Desert" and "Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner"

Yeah, start off with the mainline of BFI titles, which really aren't too many right now... and then work your way to the BFI Flipside titles if you're interested in the more offbeat, quirky types of films.
