To Heidi Reed: I would love the video of Antonia’s Line if you still have it. It’s been on my list of films to see for a while. Could you send me your email address so I can give you my physical address.
To Philip Matthews: Unfortunately I only saw your december post today – could you email me if you still have the tapes and if you do, where you are based.
To Micky: Do you still have your videos as well? If you do, could you give me an idea of some of the contents? Does the tw area mean tyne and wear?
I would still consider taking anybody’s videos depending on the contents, but bear in mind that I live near Newcastle and would only consider paying for postage or petrol if the tapes contained something I particularly wanted – usually obscure films or old documentaries. My email is shouldabroughtasweater@ymail.com
Thanks everybody
I have lots of very good films on vhs including the dutch film Antonia’s Line.Others include Bergman films, Blow Up, Accident(Joseph Losey I think) etc,etc.You are welcome to have them or some of them free as I would hate to bin them.I can’t do an actual list but could make a selection based on your tastes or you can have the lot.I would want you to pay postage or courier of course.Let me know your thoughts,
Cheers,
Mike
I have a large box of pre recorded films on vhs tapes.Various adults and childrens films.Fly away home.Full monty.shazam.lee evans.jethro.free willy.too many to list. Im in the maidstone area so can deliver locally.
I have videos of various childrens films and adult / family films anyone interested in and around the Epsom – Wimbledon area – two boxes full
We have over 200 vhs videos of cowboy films ect, and would love them to be watched and enjoyed by some one else, pls email me if interested, Bournemouth area.
I’d be happy to take any videos people might still have of stuff they taped from the TV, depending on what it is. I’m mainly looking for old slightly obscure movies (1920s-90s – crime,horror,foreign,musicals,western,comedy,indie – anything) and old documentaries (eg. Arena, Imagine, Storyville, Omnibus, South Bank, biographies, basically anything pre-2005), but also old dramas and comedy. Basically anything that isn’t readily available on dvd. I’m not interested in more well-known films as I’ve probably already got them. I’m interested in prerecorded videos if they’re fairly cult, obscure or rare. If anyone has some they think would fit the bill, could you please send me a list or at least some idea of what’s on the tapes to shouldabroughtasweater@ymail.com. If I like the sound of your collection I might be able to come and pick them up. If you post a reply on the message board please leave your email address.
