Awesome! Lots of movies on there that i want also. I saw The Elephant Man at Cheap as Chips for $10.

[n3wt]

There are indeed some great movies there mate :up:

[RagingBull]

Ah, thank you. Jerry, consider yourself a lucky man finding The Elephant Man for $10. None on E-bay and I looked on Amazon and they're selling it for $27.00, which is too expensive.

[Jerry Shaw]

Heh, just look in the places you don't expect to find decent movies, i'm sure you'll find it.

[RagingBull]

Perhaps. I'll ring a few places and see if they have it in. But, I highly doubt it. According to IMDb it's only got 46,000 votes, very low for a movie that was only made 30 years ago.

Why are you using the number of votes a movie has on IMDb as a reference to availablility on a DVD? I mean, there's just like no connection between the two. I'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere, if not you can always get it on Netflix, because I know it's on there, because it's in my queue.

[TheDOMINATOR]

Agreed with Movieman. Judging which movies are likely to be on DVD based on the number of votes they have on IMDB is just silly. Just keep checking Amazon and eBay, and take a trip to your local electronics store(s) every so often. :)

Well for starters, all the time when movies have low votes on IMDb, I find it hard to get or rent. Explain why they don't have any on E-bay and selling it for $30.00 on Amazon, where their average DVD sale price is about $15.00. Besides is there an Australian Netflix?

Wait a second, I have already searched on the internet and such BEFORE I considered how many votes it's got. I hardly never judge the votes on IMDb to see if it's referenced for availability. I searched, I couldn't find any and then I looked at it's votes which is 48,000 -- So I considered perhaps that's why it's not on E-bay or at my local rental store.

I forgot that you lived in Australia when I mentioned Netflix, so I guess they don't have Netlfix there. Still the votes thing has no effect on DVDs, because I mean use The Usual Suspects as a great example. It has over 200,000 votes on IMDb, but I can't find it to buy anywhere. I wouldn't have even seen it before had it not been for Netflix.

Yea, I guess you're right. It depends on the movie, really. Though I have always wanted to watch The Elephant Man, and luckily I picked it up at another rental store after ringing up four other stores when they obviously didn't have it.

Well if you want it that bad, rent it then don't return it. All they'll do is charge you for the DVD, and then you get to buy the DVD.

I want to own every movie in my top 10 or 12. I own about five or six of them, and I understand it's pretty hard to get, but I'll be patient and it'll ought show up some time.

If I remember correctly, Nebbit said that BigPond is the Oz version of Netflix. Take a look, you might find it there.

[RagingBull]

Bigpond is actually a rip-off. I read some of their deals and they're actually rip-offs. $1.00 for every DVD at my local rental store. And they have a good selection, too.

What are you talking about?

[Jerry Shaw]

I believe he is talking about illegal movie ripper groups, i know one that is called axxo.

[RagingBull]

I don't illegally download movies as I only receive 2 GB of super fast data p/month.

I don't know anything about it, however, if it's got the film you want to see for less than you're willing to pay, then it's a good deal isn't it?
