Yeah, given inflation and the pressures of keeping stores open, the price it is a pleasant surprise.

Look forward to this. It's always nice to add a few Premium Collection titles to the collection.

Have the new releases stalled by the way?

The guy on BluRay forums who has a contact in HMV says that the person who used to run the line has moved jobs but someone else is taking over so the releases should start coming again, there are so many Warner and Paramount titles ripe for the picking, I was kind of hoping they'd put Pump Up The Volume out over here after the US release last year.

Yeah hopefully anything Warner Archive puts out HMV Prem will get.

Warner Archive release so many interesting titles, but I doubt that we'll ever see the majority of them being released via the Premium Collection range.

Time will tell.

Hopefully Mamoulin's Jekyll&Hyde will find it's way over.

Would love to see more Paramount in The Premium Collection. Schrader’s 'American Gigolo' along with 'Young Sherlock Holmes' would be ideal.

I picked up American Gigolo on Blu-ray from Germany for roughly five quid before shipping, so that's an option.

I have the bare bones US disc. It’s an old master. Now that there is a shite looking TV series on the way it would be a perfect time for Paramount to look at restoring this and putting out a new release on the Paramount Presents line with a possible Premium Collection release in the UK.

That’s a great deal though and definitely worth picking up the German disc at that price.

I hope the link with the Warner Archive Collection continues and the Premium Collection is effectively the UK outlet for those titles.
