Looks like the non-Criterion copies are out of print. Criterion is expensive, but only worth it if you're a Gilliam fan.

If you find it anywhere in Calgary for $15, let us know. I have yet to see it anywhere.

[liquidchill]

notice the "was"

the standard version is no longer in print, but that's what i'm mainly looking for.

If it's the 2-disc criterion version I might be interested.

[steelo]

You won't be interested for his asking price.

bought my bro it for christmas and could only find the 2 disc special edition at best buy and play. Best buy was like 10$ cheap. Still expenive though, I payed $58 + tax :thumbsdow

[freakin]

Goog thing you guys didn't see what I paid for Brazil and Time Bandits, hehe. Criterion isn't cheap, but I don't always agree with their pricing. If they're putting out a movie that's not commercially available, then the price is understandable. But some of the movies they put out don't really have enough special features to justify it though. This would be one of those cases. Some people don't care about all of the extras, so I could imagine that it's frustrating.

[steelo]

His isn't Criterion.

[liquidchill]

BUMP

still looking...

[cidley69]

Just stating the obvious "buddy"

If you want to try selling it for $40 best of luck kid - you'll need it. :D

[anythingcanada]

I have BLOW, you can have it for $20cnd, barely used.

Or you can try amazon.com as they have new and used.

Just a company that releases DVD of films that have some "impact". Website is here at http://www.criterionco.com/asp/ They lost any cred with me when Armageddon and The Rock entered this collection.
