The only ones i was a bit disappointed with aren't on your list. Two Paul Newman films - Harper and it's sequel The Drowning Pool.

The only ones on your list i haven't seen or don't own either as a Premium Collection title or on dvd are The Golden Child, The Two Jakes, Death Trap and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Of the ones i own / have seen only Dolores Clairborne i thought was poor.

So if it helps i think you can buy any of the others with confidence that you are purchasing a good or maybe outstanding film. It's not like blind buying Arrow slashers we haven't heard of.

I enjoyed Doreen Claiborne the one and only time I've seen it. Many years ago. The Golden Child is decent fun while nothing groundbreaking. The Two Jakes, Death Trap and Hunchback would be blind buys.

Wiener Dog

HMV sale and direct from Radiance, they sent me a bookmark for Welcome to the Dollhouse and a little fanzine type thing.

They have no continuity at all, all different boxes and sizes, shapes and colours

However, 2 cracking films there, I like Lips of Blood the best, it's maybe my 2nd fave Rollin film, Fascination is brilliant as well, probably the most famous scene of all Rollin films, a naked Brigitte Lahaie with a scythe.

FYI, I ended up buying all of the redemption discs because I liked the artwork better and all of the boxes were the same size

Now I'll be buying them all again from Indicator haha.
