How To Buy Videos

Our goal is to provide the largest, most comprehensive catalog of movie information on the web without charge to the internet community. As part of this service, though we do not sell videos or movie related merchandise ourselves, we try our best to make it easy for our customers to find tapes, DVD's, soundtracks, and other movie related merchandise they may desire.

Best Way To Find It: Search Our Site

Search our Site

When we are aware of merchandise related to a particular film or TV show, available at one of our commerce partners, we place a link in the upper right-hand portion of the page. You'll see the box, right there, that says "Shop"... It looks like this:

The top grid with the VHS, DVD and CD rows crossing columns topped with little flags let you know if the movie is available on VHS or DVD, or if the soundtrack is available on CD, and which of the Amazon.com international stores have it for sale... USA, UK, or Germany.

When you click on any of those links, you'll go either to the page at Amazon.com that will allow you to buy it or to an expanded listing of the items available in that category.

Below that you'll find links for Amazon's auctions, zShops, Books and "All Products". These links will allow you to search Amazon.com for merchandise related to that movie.

We also catalog available items by person, so when you look up a person like, say, Robert DeNiro, you'll find a shopping box for him, listing the types of items available as well as similar broader search links. So if you're looking to buy a bunch of DeNiro movies for a friend's birthday, this is an easy way to find out which ones are available.

Rare & Hard To Find Items

Locating rare and hard to find items that are not available through the method above is not a service we are presently able to offer.

Many of these items, particularly when they are collectible, will get auctioned somewhat regularly or be available from one of the used VHS/DVD/CD sellers in Amazon.com's zShops area. For example, one of our staff is a huge fan of Level 42 and was desperately trying to find a cd of theirs with a favorite song on it, but it was no-longer in stores. He'd searched Altavista and other search engines for any mention of the disc and had found one used CD seller in Sweden claiming to have a copy.

Then he tried the zShops. He found a vendor with the CD at a good price, was able to pay by credit card to Amazon (who paid the vendor for him), and got the CD a week later.

Below is a search form for Amazon.com. Enter the name of the movie or person you're interested in and a new window will open with a listing of all items related to them from Amazon's various product catalogs, Amazon's current auctions, the zShops and Amazon's "all product search" which searches the catalogs of hundreds of other sites for you.
