If anyone can add to this list please email me and I shall repost it.
This list includes all videos released already or to be released shortly
with expected release date where possible.
I know I might be missing some foreign films here.

I've also tried to include the widescreen aspect ratios where possible
but these can be misleading since not all widescreen films are fully
letterboxed, and most, if not all, TV's overscan to some degree.

All videos must be available in the UK, and in VHS PAL format.
