If anyone wants a trade for the Region 1 release let me know.

Any old crap will do.

LOL

I'm going to dig around for something. Anything in mind?

I'm actually the reverse. Some of it bored me when I saw it on TV on first airing but I really want to give it another go and been meaning to grab it for years. Didn't even realise it had a UK release.

Read the book many years ago when I used to read.

Cheers for the info bud! It just makes me want to see it even more.

I've only ever read about this. It's the one with Nigel Davenport, right? Another obscurity that needs to be seen.

Who remembers the American tv show called Salvage One? it was about a multi millionaire scrap dealer who made his own space shuttle which he kept on an iceberg. You couldn't make it up. It was on ITV in the early 80's. It must of been something good/so bad it's amazing for me to remember it.

Ah. I remember my youth. Watching old VHS that my step father had handed down to me. Jurrasic Park, Lost in Space, a but load of jackie Chan films.
Amongst these little nostalgic gems was a wonderful Fantasy-Sci-fi flick called Krull.
God I haven't seen that movie in year, I must have watched it atleast 5 times!

Krull gets an unfair amount of flack, i don't know why because i think it's fantastic. It has a brilliant score from James Horner too.

The Land That Time Forgot (1975)
A bbc2 fav on the bank holidays,nowadays it seems that if a film was'nt made in the last year or so then it aint gettin shown on tv.

During World War I, a German U-boat sinks a British ship and takes the survivors on board. After it takes a wrong turn, the submarine takes them to the unknown land of Caprona, where they find dinosaurs and neanderthals

Hands up who saw this at the cinema on first release?
