Just got their latest newsletter and film list. If there is anyone out there who doesn't subscribe then you really should. Phil puts a lot of passion into the cine world, his list is full of great titles and the news letter anounces some new releases.
There is even the possibility of a feature release of "The Island Earth" on offer if there is enough interest.
CHCs' recent 400fters of the pre-title sequences from "Living Daylights" and "Goldeneye" are must haves for any Bond fan and the full feature version of "You Only Live Twice" is due to be available this month.
I'm still tempted by "Ice Age" but before shelling out would like to see a reel from it or hear a report of it in terms of print and sound quality from a forum member. Anyone ?

Too bad Mike that Phil does not update his web site very frequently. The current newsletter on his site goes all the way back to January, and there is no mention at all of the pre-title sequence Bond film. Contrast this with Deranns site, which is always updated on a monthly basis.

I am in agreement with Paul here. I have been checking Classic's site 2-3 times a week since Christmas. You get to a point where you start to get fed up of checking, then stop looking. I am a great Bond fan and this is the first I know of these great releases, (thanks Mike) Just been to Classic's site again and still no change

I've attempted to do business with them several times via email, they always respond claiming to have what I'm looking for but will never follow thru and send me a landed (to my door) price quoute/estimate.

Hi, I've found their web site, but my emails are not getting through to them. what is their e mail address? I'm excited to be able to buy the Goldeneye pre credit sequence..but there's nothing about it on there..and no prices . ONe of the most UN useful web sites I've encountered. I'd like to email them to ask about it. thanks.

In the US you can get Classic's releases from Steve Osborne at The Reel Image. For a few dollars he'll even send you a demo reel featuring clips from loads of the releases. I think it has to be back within a fortnight.

True Gary-
I get all of my CHC stuff from Steve "The Reel Image" Osborne in Ohio. He even carries some CHC titles in stock, but if he doesnt have it in stock, he will get it to you in two weeks or so. Good service.
