Thank you, I’ve been dithering about getting this because the Beaver grabs didn’t look that good. It is one of my favourite films too.

Received the French blu-ray of I Know Where I’m Going yesterday and can only agree with david hare. This needs a proper restoration, but meanwhile it’s a good enough upgrade over the DVD if you love the film. I watched it on my projector and while soft and full of scratches, it has a far more film like appearance.

Thank you! Couldn’t resist jumping on the preorder. Don’t care how messy a movie it is, I’m deeply in the bag for P+P

No wonder temperatures have been so mild this summer, we’re getting residual cooling from Hell freezing over

In case anyone in the US is wondering, Network removes the VAT, so it comes to £9.58 plus £1.80 for shipping—£11.38 total (or $14.27 USD). A fantastic deal.

Thank you for the notification, Antnield, and for the purchasing tip, Matt! I made it a Powell triumvirate, adding the Thief of Bagdad blu-ray and Phantom Light DVD for $28.50 total. I only have Phantom Light on the triple-bill from MPI, and although I didn't find any comments in this forum, the Network disc sounds promising - worth a $5 gamble. I see their Thief of Bagdad blu-ray received mixed quality reviews, including negative comments from David Hare in this forum, but I've had it in my Amazon.uk wishlist for 4+ years, so if CC announce an upgrade in the next few months ... you're welcome.
