Hi dis

If you want to remain down the French route then i'd also recommend -

Livid (2011) Made by the same director and producers as Inside.

The Pack (2010)

Them (2006)

Sheitan (2006)

High Lane (2009)

Mutants (2009)

Jojo Rabbit

Hilarious. Follow a young boy on his journey to wisdom. About as zen as it gets. Or not . He's done it again. A very timely reminder of the seduction of evil. I think

The Bat. 1959.

A killer known as "The Bat" is on the prowl in a mansion rented by a mystery crime writer and a hidden fortune.

This film is better than it sounds, full of mystery, thriller, horror and dark atmosphere and sinister claw hands appearing slowly through doors and curtains. Vincent Price plays the local doctor and expert on the species of bats, who is told about the money. Filmed on a low budget and use of good cinematography that outlines the shadow of the killer with some claustrophobic moments and suspense. Classic 50s film.

I recently bought the 2006 dvd's of the original Star Wars trilogy so i could own copies of the films as they were originally shown theatrically - totally devoid of 'cleaning up', 'tweaking' and any additional scenes that Lucas Film have added in later years.

What an absolute joy Star Wars was.

Gone completely was the gloss and computer generated effects and what i watched was a fairly gritty (Picture quality wise) western in space.

It's difficult to put my feelings into words. The film felt so much more realistic in comparison to the special edition version which now comes across as a cartoon style comic book film akin to the MCU. This isn't Disney Star Wars this was the Star Wars of the maverick seventies, the film that changed the movie going landscape forever.

This version of Star Wars was akin to the very best spaghetti western rather than a polished studio production. It felt like a product of the seventies, which it of course was, the decade that film making really began again outside of the safety net of the Hollywood studios. The decade of The Godfather, Taxi Driver, The Exorcist, The Last Picture Show, Apocalypse Now and Chinatown.

In short it was f*cking awesome and a proper unpolished reminder why Star Wars is thought of by many as one of the greatest films of all time. It's perfect imperfection.

I'll never watch the special editions again. Ever!
Any idea where this can be found i own it on vhs but what good is that i cant watch it

I bought all three from Music Magpie for about £5.50 for the lot.

You'll have to have the dvd's as they won't be released on blu. 2006 was the last time they'll get a release according to Lucas.

Just had a look for you before i posted this.

None left whatsoever.

You can buy them on MusicMagpie but you have to make sure you buy the right edition. It's the 2006 (I think) 2 disc dvds.

Star Wars itself isn't available from any Amazon sellers.
