WANTED: monty python dvd's (R4)

[looktall]

i'm chasing some monty python dvd's.
in particular the flying circus series, but movies would be good too. :D

oh and i don't know if it's available on dvd, but i would really like to get hold of yellowbeard.

[whizzfizz]

hey looktall.. nice to see ya back here again..

as for yellowbeard i dont beleive it is available on dvd :(

if u happen 2 find it thou please let me know :) :)

i wouldnt mind this title either.

[looktall]

yeah i poke my head in every now and then. :D

i've been doing a bit of googling to see if yellowbeard was released on dvd or not, no luck so far, but i did find another movie that i wouldn't mind checking out.

terry gilliam's brazil was released on dvd as the full 142 min directors cut.
if anyone has this i'd be keen to buy it also.

[Sauceman]

Flying Circus hasn't been released in R4 unfortunately, and i seriously suggest you don't waste your time with the R4 movie releases - they are absolute ****e unfortunately :(

[looktall]

really? that sucks. :(

probably explains why i haven't been able to find any. lol

what's wrong with the R4 releases?

I may have this coming up soon,.. The Universal release that is, as I am keen to go up to the Criterion release

[looktall]

brazil?
the universal release is the full directors cut, yes?

if so, keep me informed. :D

[Tsargrad]

Erm... sh!t transfers, 4:3, and no features come to mind. :)

[Sauceman]

So very true.

Think of the video quality of the 12 year old Pan & Scan Monty Python and the Holy Grail VHS sitting in your video shop. You have your DVD transfer right there.

[Tsargrad]

You need the Criterion release of Life Of Brian. Despite being a US release it isn't region coded...

[looktall]

okee dokee. :D

i thought the quality of the R4 life of brian to be quite good. certainly better than the quality of holy grail.

so the criterion releases are the ones to go for eh? are they all region free?

and does anyone have any for sale? :dD

I am not sure if they are all region free. I just know life of brian is, as I got it a few weeks ago.. (not for sale though)

I have Meaning of Life R4 if you're after it. Watched once and in good condition.
