I'd have spent a couple of quid on one of the many dvd's floating about to see if i liked them first.

Personally i don't rate them at all. 2000 Maniacs is about the best in my opinion. However i haven't seen the whole box set.

The Inspector likes them, i think he sees them as double bills with his Al Adamson collection.

that sounds a good idea, over £100 is bit much on something that has a good chance i might not like

I thought you'd already ordered it.

You should join a rental service, treb.

I joined Love Film a few years ago and it's saved me a tonne in respect to disappointing blind buys. There's also Youtube which has a fair amount of obscure and as yet unreleased cult film fodder - a lot of the Lewis films are on there I believe - allowing you to 'try before you buy'.

It's commendable to see that you're almost single-handedly keeping physical media afloat though. ;) :D

its preorderd from amazon for £109 i didn't go for the limited box set, which is the same price as the 50th anniversary star trek set but that i know i will enjoy

Also let's put the record straight right now: Lewis was a maverick; an auteur; a cinematic genius. Don't buy into Dem's anti-Lewis scare tactics! :D

Seriously though, you may want to check out a few of his films before you commit to a purchase, as whilst I enjoy the bulk of his work, he certainly won't be for everyone.

Needed to buy more Metrodome releases it seems!

:laugh: cinematic genius? Wonder if any of his maverick films ever hit cinemas over here or indeed anywhere outside of US drive-ins.

At least you do see a little sense with the second part of the post.

It was you who told him to buy anything and everything was it?
