I was lucky enough to have come across it in the DVD section of my library. They have a great selection, even a few movies Blockbuster doesn't have.
Where did you come across Plague Dogs when you first saw it?
Master of Puppets- one of the best albums of all time.

I saw a clip on youtube where the dog shoots the owner and it got me interested to watch it.

I watched the uncut version today it was amazing, I also read the book. I think everyone who loves the film shud read the book it is amazing and makes sense of the film explains so much for example: why the cairn terrior died, why there is a monkey in a cylinder, etc its great!

I first saw this powerful and remarkable movie after I rented it on VHS back in the late 80's.
"We're all part Shatner/And part James Dean/Part Warren Oates/And Steven McQueen"
I heard it mentioned in the Watership Down board on this site, and became curious. I then spent ages tracking down the DVD (I read the book first, after a friend bought it for me :) ), which definitely turned out to be worth the effort IMO!

I watched the uncut version on Youtube, then ordered the (edited) DVD from a video store. It's a magnificent movie in both versions, and the quality's good, but the cut just can't compare with the original.

I first saw this film back in the late 80s, I was about four or five and my parents rented it from a little mom and pop corner store that was a grocery/general store and the only place in town to rent movies. At that point I had still not seen Watership Down or anything quite like this movie. It had a profound and lasting impact on me and the story and images haunted me, but in the best possible way. Then I never saw it again. Not on TV, no one really talks about it, after a while I couldn't even remember the name of the film and after a few decades I started to question whether I ever really saw it at all. But so many visuals stuck with me from that film. I'm 24 now and finally today I stumbled across Plague Dogs here on IMDB. You can't imagine how excited I was to finally learn the name of this movie. Needless to say, I ordered the DVD from amazon five minutes ago and can't wait to watch this movie again.
shareI was born and grew up where this story was set, and the book was published a year after I was born. I remember the first time I saw this film I was still very young, and it was very strange to me as a youngster to see places I knew in an animated film - for example, the Black Bull pub in Coniston, where my dad spent a fair few evenings :)
Anyway, it was my dad that rented the movie way back in the early 80s, so that's how I found it.
I watched it on VHS tape from Thorn EMI in the 80's and the film had a massive impact on me, as it still does today.
It's an incredible film.
