Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Is the 1964 version of Masque of the Red Death available on DVD? Anyone know? I haven't found it, but it seems impossible to me that the others in that sort of series would be available but not that one.

IMDb does show it was released on DVD but their link to Amazon goes nowhere so must be long out of print.

It is available from Amazon Canada paired on one disc with The Premature Burial. $12.78 CDN. The same disc is available from Amazon UK and France as well.

'All Quiet on the Western Front' is an amazing film for its time and even now. It came out in 1930 and still packs a punch. Again, another film that Spielberg seems to have borrowed from. I recommend it.

Right there with you GC.

It also on eBay, paired with Premature Burial, like Alex said. This one is $7.90, with $5.95 shipping. There were quite a few, starting as low as $3.99 and up new.

Since I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than buy from Amazon, I might have to go the eBay route. thanks.

I'm sure you can find other vendors out there. Amazon is just a good source for what is actually avialable. If you aren't aware, IMDb is owned by Amazon so if you go to a movies page there is a box in the upper right that shows all the various national Amazon stores that have that movie available on DVD.

Though I am curious why you don't like Amazon.

Short version: placed order. Waited. Waited. Waited. Ship by date long gone. Contacted customer service and was told they had cancelled order on their end due to computer problems and they don't notify you when that happens. No they couldn't revive it - I'd have to place a new order. Got my goods elsewhere. Got Visa bill. Was charged for order - TWICE. Still no goods. Company refused to respond, so disputed charges. Months later get "your items have shipped!" email on "cancelled" order, and bill charged again. Customer service in India couldn't care less. Disputed charges and refused shipment. Stateside CS finally contacts me with "sorry, here's a $5 gift certificate for your trouble." This is just the bare bones and doesn't cover the whole of the communication, if you can call it that. And it wasn't the first problem I'd had with them, just the last.

I took that advice. I've only read the first book and LOVED it.
