Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and excited to dive into the Laserdisc collecting hobby. Recently, a friend sold me their Laserdisc player along with a fantastic collection of French language Laserdiscs, and I’m now looking to pass these titles on to fellow enthusiasts. This collection features iconic films from the Alien, James Bond, and Star Wars frenchise, Titanic, MadMax, Tron, Robocop, Star Trek, Tim Burton etc.

Details:

Condition: The discs are in excellent shape and have been tested on my Pioneer 909 Player, ensuring they play perfectly.

Covers: Some covers have water damage, but this does not affect the discs themselves.

Language: These discs are in French, making them a great find for French speakers or collectors of foreign films.

I’m thrilled to share these classics with you all! If you’re interested, I’d be happy to provide pictures and any additional information you need. I'm also open to trading for English language discs! I will also add them to my collection.

I’ll be listing these on tutti.ch, and I look forward to connecting with you as I start this exciting journey into Laserdisc collecting. Any tips or advice for a newcomer are greatly appreciated!

Don’t miss out on this chance to add these classic films to your collection. Feel free to reach out for more details!

Hi rein-o

I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed or find this funny, what gave me away. :angel: :D :lol:

Also, thank you very much for the kind advice. Yeah, this is how I feel about those discs. It is really a pity Almost none of them Include English language track. I guess for flicks like alien or terminator, it does not matter too much. :D

However, I have already someone who asked for specific titles.

Good night, everyone

For the right person these are gold. That person is probably in Quebec though so good luck! :)

Even without the PAL thing and the water damage dubbed Hollywood is basically total trash. Dumb movies for people too dumb to even appreciate the original work. Even if the US/UK that kind of thing is mostly confined to anime. (That is, most Americans who watch French movies watch them in French).

To anyone in Quebec feel free to contact me… :P
I am happy if someone has fun with those discs.

I also tend to watch nobodies in the most original form avaialable to me. However I think we need to appreciate that not everyone has the ability to learn English to an extend to enjoy movies in example English. I am thinking about my parents who might be interested in the technology and collecting but do not speak English.

It's a French acronym:

  • VF = version française = French (dubbed) version
  • VOST = version originale sous-titrée = Original soundtrack, French subtitles

Thank you for the clarification Julian Julien. I have to check for that and I’ll get back to you. I’ll get the biggest part of the Bunch in December only.
