I have got quite a big collection at home, of what I think are classics ( for me at least ) , and a few are missing .

If anyone has a copy of them here or knows where to get one in Shangers I'd be more than happy to treat you to drinks or swap against something else you can't find here


I am looking for "Thursday" , with The Punisher Thomas Jane. Movie about an ex drug dealer settling down until something goes very wrong.
You can't even get the original DVD any longer, I think the going price on ebay for an unopened one is around 3k US$

"Saturday the 14th"
"Waxworks"
"Return to Horror high"


With all the diamonds I've found here already I am sure they are out there somewhere...

So, anyone ?

I never found Porky's in Shanghai.

If I remember correctly there's several, like three or so ? I have at least one ... Have to check which one, got the original from Hong Kong for like 70 honkies

Brought from Home on a quick trip

Kundun - no surprise
Withnail and I - maybe just too british
Killing Fields - you can get this now
I am always amazed at the DVD's I see here, so there aren't really any others
But why are there no more Malcolm in the Middle DVD's? They actually don't exist past season one. Very very weird

Withnail and I.

What a classic sound track where they are driving up the motorway in that beat up old car. He then turns on the music and out blasts Jimi Hendrix 'All Along The Watchtower'. Just first class.

Has anyone got 'Brassed Off'? It is about a brass band during the miners strike.

Well worth a few free beers.

Sorry dartman, I don't think I've seen it here. I'll look around for you though, you never know! Which area ofShanghai are you based in? Which DVD place do you usually go to?

How about 'Hysterical' or 'Welcome to Woop Woop'?

I can't find these anywhere. Haven't tried Ebay, but not that despirate either...

Trip

movie dummy here with a dumb question -

why are you looking for these two movies? the names sound weird. are they for self-healing?

Well the ones I am looking for are just great movies from back in the old days when I was growing up

You like Kundun?
You'll get arrested for that there.

Im looking for the Branagh version of Henry V and Swingers.

I think I've seen Henry V Bleucheese, but it might have been the Olivier version, I'll have a look next time I'm in the dvd store.

Hey Meanderer,

I go to the shop on Zhaojiabang lu very close to Ruijin lu.
'Brassed off' is the 'Dogs Bollocks' a free beer at Nelly's for anyone who hands it over?

And I am not advertising so please guys and girls no more of this 'Ohh Ohh Ohh bad boy in the room they are advertising on this site again.

Anyone would think this was the BBC.

I think I've seen Henry V Bleucheese, but it might have been the Olivier version, I'll have a look next time I'm in the dvd store.

Its the Olivier version. Ive seen it everywhere. And its painful to watch.
The flowery costumes, the closeups on Olivier...its too damn gay.

Not that theres anything wrong with that...

I've watched Kundun with some of my more interested students.

I'm looking for Slam w/Saul Williams.

Sorry to go off topic, but this is related. If any one has better luck tommorow, poetic justice, New Jack City, Menace II Society, Juice, do the right thing, or diary of a mad black woman and are willing to part with them, i'll pay 15 for 5s and 25 for 9s.

I saw diary of a mad black woman in a DVD shop near my office the other day, I guess its still there. Its just 7 for a "branded" D5. PM me.

Haven't seen any of the others here though. I may have seen Boyz, but since you're not looking for that, it doesn't help. I don't know if Poetic Justice even got a DVD release in the UK! Strange since both star and director have pulling power.

Just checked for Poetic Justice on Bearshare, they have it. Bearshare has almost everything (no Brassed Off tho, sorry)

Fiddler do you mean "Saturday the 14th Strikes Back" directed by Howard
Cohen??
I seems have seen waxworks somewhere in Shanghai...

I have Henry 5 w/ Branagh.

Anyone seen any Marx Brothers?

Did you get it here jim01? Where's your dvd store? I agree with you bleucheese about the Olivier version - way too gay!

I did get it hear, just can't remember where. I think it was a random find with one of those guys along Shanxi lu.

As overpriced as Ka De is and as consistently inconsistent with their quality, they do have a great selection. Best of all it's in those books you can flip through.

I'd be glad to loan you the DVD if you like.

Withnail and I has been issued in China before, but I haven't seen it either, must been issued in small amount...I'm also trying to find one...
Some classic ones are difficult to find.

Got Monty Python's Flying Circus today.

I've seen the complete 1+2+3 seasons. How about treat me a few free drinks?

On the 2nd floor of the Chifeng Lu Metro station there is a DVD shop. They have Menace II Society from time to time. The owner (a guy about 35) speaks a good bit of English so you can ask him to find it for you if he doesn't have one in stock. I can't remember if it was 5 or 9.

If you visit torrentspy.com you'll probably be able to find some pretty obscure movies to download, otherwise there's http://members.chello.nl/~p.wiersema/list.html, which gives a list of all the bittorrent sites.

Wow yeah? Where where? Free drinks as soon as I get back to Shanghai.

do you want season 1&2 or the complete 1+2+3 season?

Bingo I doublechecked for you today when passing the dvd shop and its ran out of stock. But I saw on ebay someone selling this, and totally 4 seasons!!!

married with children? never watched it. i see it's so popular and almost a "fashion" among you guys so must be good.

so anyone actually downloaded the all 4 seasons from bittorrent? is it possible? how long did it take? hopefully it would not take too long too much ...
