Bound

Branded To Kill
Brute Force
L'Assassino
Knightriders
Spirits of the Dead
Who Dares Wins

I only have two of those J, Django, which is still wrapped not watched yet but 'Knighriders' I had never seen before and thoroughly enjoyed it, such a bizarre concept of knights on bikes but works well, Ed Harris grabs his role with both hands. Tom Savini is great to watch, all surrounding keeping a medieval reenactment troupe's morals away from money with in-house politics and run-ins with local law enforcement. If you go into the movie with an open mind you might just find a warm favourite from Mr Romero. I loved it but we all have different tastes.

I am not a fan of Knightriders but think it it is an interesting film and possibly shows the type of film maker Romero truly is rather than the zombie ghetto film maker we know. It is a shame that he never followed these more personal films like this and Martin, who knows what type of stuff he could have made given the money and freedom to explore his muse.

Pit Stop and Branded To Kill were both two gems of a blind buy for me.

Romero can be an awful hit and miss director in my opinion. I love the Dead films up to and including Diary. But i only lasted maybe 15 mins of Survival of the Dead. I think Martin and The Crazies are dull as can be but i like The Dark Half and i adore Creepshow.
I want to watch Knightriders but I'm not expecting much from it.
When does this sale end? Monday?

Martin, The Crazies and Season of the Witch are my favourite Romero films along with Day of the Dead. I can leave the rest, he is certainly a director with talent but is very hit and miss, my opinion. I think he is far better when not working in the commercial areana and looking for a hit.

Season of the Witch is another of his i haven't seen. Night of the Living Dead is still his best film of those I've seen.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. Do Arrow not give reward points on bundles?

They do, and double in fact because of the sale. However, it takes a while for the whole transaction to be added, because you have to pick the titles in the email, then wait for that to go through before they come in.

Thanks Fuzz. Odd that you get full value of points used against a bundle but only half against other sale items.

Is the Price Gothic Tales set a limited edition numbered package or a general release?
