You guys don't know how lucky you are that films play at cinemas around you....not to mention the film festivals and various tv channels that show old films. I don't have the luxury to catch an Anthony Mann classic or seek out the next Oscar hopeful. Lately cinema culture has revived in Pakistan with a slew of modern cinemas around the country. We get the latest films but only stuff like Iron Man, The Hulk or the latest Indy Jones. Action sells here while serious films (like Revolutionary Road) would be a loss at the box office. So one is quite restricted in the kind of films one can view.
So pirated dvds come in handy...... be it a Sidney Lumet, Mike Leigh or Luis Bunuel. The price is a steal and hey one gets to see everything that is out on dvd....the old and the new.....including every tv show past or present.

$1.50 spent on a Sidney Lumet or Mike Leigh film is still a waste of money.Reza wrote:Damien wrote:The only thing that interests me about this thread is that it's amusing to see how people waste their money.
NOT when u buy almost perfect pirated copies of films that cost only $1.50 each. Being a ''criminal'' in the bargain is another issue, ofcourse, by indulging in these pirated dvds.

Well, for one thing, it helps increase my post count.

I was channel surfing during breakfast yesterday and came across a Bogie-Sheridan movie on TCM I had never seen before, 1940's It All Came True in which Bogie was a gangster on the lam hiding out in Sheridan's Ma's (Una O'Connor) boarding house. Sheridan was paired with Jeffrey Lynn and Bogie with, would you believe, ZaSu Pitts? Sheridan gets to sing a number of songs and Bogie, in a rare comic role, was hilarious.
It's Raoul Walsh so even if you didn't know anything else about it it'd be worth owning. And it contains some truly memorable hard-boiled cracking'-wise dialogue, especially from Ann Sheridan, who's wonderful.anonymous wrote:Added:

This is a blind-buy. How is this film?
It's not a Bogart vehicle, however -- George Raft's the star and Ida Lupino gets the (over-the-top) histrionics.
