Members will be aware of my criticism of too many DVDs on sale at the 62nd BFCC, but as a lover of British B movies I must say I had an interesting chat with the MD of Renown Pictures. There laid out on the table were films from my long forgotten youth.

MD, Noel Cronin, said that in addition to their own Renown films, the company also had the rights to films from Eros, New Realm and Butchers. He is always looking out for 16mm prints of collectors which the company don't have available for DVD transfer. Obviously Renown can only use material of which they hold the copyright.

Check out their website and see if you have anything which may interest Noel.

I have watched quite a few of the dvd's from this distributor. And I think 'Lance Comfort' features as director of quite a few of the films.

I must admit to liking them, most have up and coming stars. If you get the chance take a look at them, they make a refreshing change.

This is where I find DVD good. The films would neer get out on super 8 now. Although they would be on 16mm like you say.

Think entertainment double bills and you will enjoy them.
