DVD Region Codes
DVD region codes is a provision in the DVD Specification that requires
DVD players to be hard-coded to accept DVDs that is only meant to be played
within one of six designated world regions.
A Code 1 disc cannot be played in a Code 3 DVD player for example.
This technique was developed to enable Hollywood companies
to release movies at different times in different regions.
DVD regions are defined as:
Region 1 - U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories
Region 2 - Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt)
Region 3 - Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)
Region 4 - Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean
Region 5 - Eastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia
Region 6 - Peoples Republic of China
Region 7 - Reserved
Region 8 - Special international venues (airplanes, cruise ships, etc.)

DeepDiscounts does indeed have the best prices
but only because they don't charge for shipping within the U.S..
However, I doubt that they would ship merchandise to Europe for free
so you'll have to take that into account.

Cooter-3 :(Fri Jan 4

Here's a web site that lets you compare prices at various outlets.
DeepDiscounts does indeed have the best prices but only because they don't charge for shipping within the U.S..
However, I doubt that they would ship merchandise to Europe for free so you'll have to take that into account.
There is a similar site for the U.K.
http://www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk/
You can search there for DVDs from several regions, including US DVDs.
And this site calculates also the shipping from the US to the UK (e.g. for amazon.com)
One hint for the other Europeans: several companies offer free deliver to European countries,
including http://www.dvdboxoffice.com (region 1)
and http://www.playserver2.com/ (region 1 and region 2, but only to selected European counties).
2. Leonard Maltin just opened
his own homepage: http://www.leonardmaltin.com/
Sadly there aren't his reviews available
(as known from the IMDb until they replaced them with the senseless amazon.com reviews),
but at least you can find some interesting articles and Maltin's reviews
to the latest releases in cinema and on DVD...

Rich Wannen recomends:
(Fri Dec 14, 2001)
Database -
http://www.filmpolski.pl/fp/Filmografia.htm
Polish film database from first shorts to present.
In Polish only, has film notes with each title,
if you can speak the lingo or use a Polish-English dictionary (cast & credits variably at IMDb).
Specialty Dealers: Note, all of these companies' products can be gotten thru Movies Unlimited,
Facets or certain other dealers, but at about $5 higher price.
Sinister Cinema -
http://www.sinistercinema.com
Classic-era horror & sci-fi, mystery, action, adventure, jungle, exploitation and, lately, westerns.
Some 1960s & 1970s horror & krimi.
Much PD mastered from 16mm/35mm, also sole licensed agents for some copyright material,
and a couple of restorations or initial releases on their own.
Something Weird Video
http://www.somethingweird.com
gone more & more to post-code porn (soft to XXX),
but original library of code-decades roadshow exploiters not found at Sinister Cinema, and sword-and-sandal.
Discount Video/Hollywood's Attic
http://www.hollywoodsattic.com
ENORMOUS flea-market of older films, foreign & domestic, on video. All genres.
Have the only known copy available of Eisenstein's original THUNDER OVER MEXICO
& don't even have it in the catalogue.
Discounts available if you buy from them regularly over catalogue prices.
Write for catalogue as only a portion of their stuff is online.
Foreign-language films in the USA on VHS, and sometimes DVD.
Mostly, these dealers' products are unsubtitled,
but represent the only versions available in the US of majority of their titles:
USSR/RUSSIA -
http://www.top1video.com
from Stalin to the present. Film lists in Russian (cyrillic alphabet)
so know the Russian titles & have your transliteration tables handy.
NB also: many Soviet films revised in 1960s to tone down Stalinism, and these are usually sources used here.
Many titles mastered off TV also: fun Russian commercials included!
HUNGARY -
http://www.net.hu/evd/
films from 30s to present, music & other original videos.
Only few titles online; write for catalog & have your Hungarian-English dictionary handy.
FRANCE -
http://www.francevision.com
30s to present, some with subtitles. Rentals too. Website in English.
ARMENIAN -
http://www.narek.com
a few film titles and original videos/music videos.
Website in English.
YIDDISH/HEBREW/JUDAICA
http://www.jewishvideo.com (retailer) or
http://www.brandeis.edu/jewishfilm
(archive which has certain titles mastered on video and will customake a copy for you on request).
Site in English
INDIA -
http://www.bollywoodarts.com
thousands of titles, also soundtrack CDS, 30s to present.
Titles only, no descriptive material, but in roman alphabet.
Mostly in Hindi only, also Urdu, Gujrati & Punjabi; a few with subtitles.
POLISH -
http://www.mailordercentral.com/polart/departments.asp
1930s to present, maybe half of inventory subtitled (sometimes rather amateurishly,
but if you don't understand Polish...).
EAST GERMANY -
http://www.icestorm-video.com
Selection of films from late 40s to fall of the wall, varied genres & styles, mostly subtitled.
No new titles added for over a year.
MEXICAN/SPANISH LANGUAGE -
http://www.lagunafilms.com (mostly newer films, titles given on line) and
http://www.agrasfilms.com (many 30s-40s-50s, but you must order a print catalog).
Have dealt with all these people & can vouch for their honesty.
Prints are not as pristine as major commercial companies,
but are all good-verygood & are, most of all, the ONLY sources for the titles they carry:
it's either these or die without!
Have a few more folks who mailorder only, domestic material mostly (or with UK),
and will have to dig out catalogs & send later.

Weekly column recommends cool films on TV
http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/tv/
This weekly column lists everything from obscure greats to the simply quirky, including mini-reviews.
It's a nice way to find those gems hidden in the 2:00 AM time slot.
Obvious picks are avoided.
