Copied Nov 02 2007 from the main list http://www.listsofbests.com/list/1081

I copied and updated this for those who are using the second edition of the book as a guide for viewing.

Please do NOT add films from later editions of the book to this list !

But of course feel free to correct mistakes and update missing DVD editions as they become available.

Made a couple changes — 1 year ago

Just letting everyone know I changed a couple things: I added the new DVD release of La Roue (The Wheel) and deleted the old version. I also did the same with She Done Him Wrong. Hope I haven’t screwed anything up – I’m a newbie here :) What is the preferred way to update/edit titles for new DVD releases, etc.?

Just an FYI... — 1 year ago

TMC is a boon for old films this month – since it’s Oscar month, they’re showing just about everything that was ever nominated for an Oscar. With a DVR, this lessens Netflix/Library waiting times considerably.

I have a rather healthy spreadsheet (someone borrowed it to create a stripped-down version for the 2007 version) that does link to tvguide.com listings.

Notes on some hard to find films — 1 year ago

Stanley Kwan’s “The Actress” at no. 851 (book p. 822) is not called by that title in the DVD release, but rather you will find it under the title Centre Stage (with the British spelling). (amazon)

If you can, watch the 2004 Director’s Cut verion which puts back over 30 minutes cut by the studio from the original release.

Also, Pasazerka (no. 401) is available on a R2 DVD from Second Run DVD as are The Man Who Had His Hair Cut Short ( De Man die zijn haar kort liet knippen ) (no. 446), David Holzman’s Diary, Ucho, and Marketa Lazarova. They will be putting out a new version of Jancso’s masterpiece, Roundup, in the Spring.

There are three films by Taiwanese master director Hou hsiao-hsien on the list. The Puppetmaster (no. 859) is available in an R1 DVD, though Fox Lorber have inexplicably butchered it with an inferior, full framed transfer. It is available via Netflix.

Time to Live, Time to Die and City of Sadness are both hard to find on DVD with western language subtitles. There was a nice box set of early Hou films with English subtitles, now out of print. You can check at yesasia.com to get info about it.

If enough people sign up there, perhaps the distributor Sino Movies will reissue the box set.

And finally, Bengali master Ritwik Ghatak has two films on the list. The BFI has put out a very nice DVD of Meghe Dhaka Tara, but not Subarnarekha. One place to find this is Calcuttaweb.com who specialize in Bengali language materials; they are located in the US.

'Pulp Fiction Cover' — 1 year ago

Soft cover, Pulp Fiction front cover (Psycho Spine, Terminator back photo) ISBN1-84403-425-9 would appear to be the same list.

Other Versions — 2 years ago

I haven’t seen any other version over amazon or any bookstore, not so sure where these other versions come from and this has been my version sense it came out.

Appreciate this alternative list.

Some recent releases — 2 years ago

Killer of Sheep (no. 625) came out on DVD recently and is now available on Netflix.

Bela Tarr’s acclaimed Satantango (no. 880) will be out on DVD the end of November in the UK (on Artificial Eye) and the US (on Facets).

[Addition: the Facets released has been delayed, but I watched the AE release, which is spectacular.]

Marketa Lazarova (no. 472) is scheduled for a DVD release in the UK the first week of December—hopefully a US release will follow soon. [Addition: DVD Beaver review ]

[Addition: The House is Black, no. 411, is also available via Netflix.]
