Does Anybody Know If This Is Coming Out On DVD?


This was a great political movie. Why hasn't it been released on DVD?

reply

I hope it does, its got a sound track, but i don't know if they will release it on dvd. Why has that guy written ' Its hard to say what this movie is about ' ????? If he had read about the plight of Bobby Sands at all he would surely get what the film is about !!!!! ?????

reply

Yeah, lets hope they release a DVD.

Well, I've actually e-mailed the company that holds the distribution rights, the English Itv company. And for only 297 Pounds you could be the proud owner of a vhs or dvd of Some Mother's Son (only for private and personal use.

In the U.S., Amazon has used VHS copies for sale from about $9-15.

reply

Ah ok, yeah I don't have a vhs player, so that's not good for me, but for others it might be:D

reply

Perhaps we should all skip a few meals until they give us our movie on DVD!

Once they do come to their senses and release this on DVD, you can be sure that it will be watched again and again in this house.

This is crazy! One of the best films I've ever seen and it's not released on DVD. One, great, fecking scandal! We need a list, and a lot of signatures!

reply

I have got it on a DVD copy of the VHS and I watch this movie a least 2 times a week

it looks like a home made dvd. a vhs transfer.

reply

I've got a DVD that was a transfer from VHS, but it's very good.

I guess we'll have to play the waiting game for a proper DVD release...:-(

*the English Itv company*

Is that *British Independent Television (itv)*?. I was thinking that it wasn't being released on dvd owing to it's political nature. However, "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" is just as political, if not moreso, than this movie is. So, I have to believe that it's for financial reasons more than anything at this point. Besides, it was released on vhs at one point and didn't seem to be a politicial issue at that time.

But I believe as it's promoted by people who want it on dvd that the studio with the copyright may hopefully think it worth their time (financially speaking that is), to release it on dvd. It's been ten years since it's release I believe, so perhaps they had better do it soon if they want an interest to remain in it's release on dvd.

*And for only 297 Pounds*

They're not asking much, are they.? :-) What a ridicilious price they're asking.
