You lucky Americans......

A while back I was bemoaning that Rex Ingram's THE MAGICIAN is not available on DVD. Well, it is now. Warners is releasing it, along with other silent treasures, through the online Warners Shop (click here for link) which is great news - unless you are English! They only ship to America.

Paul Wegener as Oliver Haddo, the Aleister Crowley inspired villain of Rex Ingram's film version of W.Somerset Maugham's novelette THE MAGICIAN.

If they only weren't so dang expensive! What're some of the other titles you mentioned?

They're actually shown on the link.
Roland West's THE MONSTER with Lon Chaney (which is available elsewhere) and the silent PRISONER OF ZENDA are among them. I don't think they are ridiculously expensive for a really rare title.
Maybe I'll get the money to you!

actually the prices on their own site are a lot better than prices I've seen in other video catalogs; they go for between $25-$30 elsewhere. As soon as I get a chance I'll have to take a closer look on their site.
