ANCIENT NILE'S
FAVOURITE CLASSIC SCI-FI and FANTASY FILMS ON DVD


Below is a list of some of our favorite films on DVD which are not always easy to locate on the Amazon websites (unless you enter the title), as they do not always show up in the various listing/categories, even though they are available. Wherever possible we have linked the listed films to the AMAZON UK and US websites so you can purchase your favourite DVD movies online.
Please Note:
1. US and UK format are not compatible. Region 1 = USA / Region 2 = UK (If you have a multi-regional DVD player than you will be okay purchasing either)
2. Some of the DVD films may have other versions or formats available, (e.g. directors cuts, widescreen etc) be sure to check before making any purchase.
3. If you require Video (VHS), rather than DVD, then check out the 'OTHER FORMATS' heading at Amazon and click on VHS.
