DVD - BLU-RAY - STREAMING
The first New Zealand title to find its way to laserdisc would appear to be 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence'(1983). I would appreciate someone helping me with laserdisc release dates. The earliest known New Zealand title to be transfered to dvd is the 1998 release of 'The Piano'. Since there are arguments about whether 'The Piano' is a NZ production, some state that the first all-New Zealand DVD title is Peter Jackson's 'Braindead aka: Dead Alive', which first appeared September 1998. As of December 2011, there are some 195 feature films on dvd that most people would consider New Zealand titles. Valid arguments could be made for adding and removing titles from such lists, including the ones found here. However in the end, all such lists are subjective.
NOTE: All discs are single-sided, except for 'When Strangers Appear' which has a widescreen version on one side and a full-screen version on the other. 'Hot Target' is also a "flipper". It is packaged with other (non-nz) titles and is "double-featured" on the same side with another title. IMDB (International Movie Datebase) ratings are a 1-10 scale. The reason that 'Hugh & Heke' and 'Iris', aka: 'Out of Time', do not yet show an IMDB rating is because IMDB's minimum of 5 votes has not been reached. Titles that can be viewed by streaming at Amazon(US), Netflix(US) or LoveFilm(UK) are so indicated.
I am offering some dvds for sale. Most are lightly used from my own collection, but there are a few new discs. Many are titles that are hard to find but all originated from authorized resellers.
