Sur une idée de Silenttimo (merci à lui), je propose de créer ce topic pour lister tous les films Pré-Code disponible en DVD (zone 0, 1 & 2) afin de faciliter la recherche pour tous ceux qui s'y intéressent. L'idée est de partir sur une première liste de films considérés comme Pré-Code :
- tournages entre 1929 et 1934 (je choisis 1929 comme première date de référence avec l'arrivée du parlant mais par la suite, je compte lister les films un peu plus anciens qui pourraient être considérés comme Pré-Code (It (1927) avec Clara Bow ou Sadie Thompson (1928) avec Gloria Swanson)),
- thèmes propres au Pré-Code : violence, apologie du criminel, sexualité libérée, drogues, prostitution, infidélité,
et d'indiquer pour chacun d'eux l'existence d'un DVD, ses caractéristiques (zones, langues, ST) et un lien amazon.fr/uk/com.
Le but n'est pas de faire un topic extrêmement détaillé où l'on critique le film ou la qualité du DVD mais de lister simplement tout ce qui existe en DVD dans le domaine du Pré-Code (un peu comme le topic Western mais sans les chroniques de Jeremy Fox ) pour que tout le monde s'y retrouve
La liste de films s'étayera au fur et à mesure des sorties, des recherches sur les sites de ventes et bien entendu si le film est considéré comme perdu. Je donne les liens vers les sites Amazon, FNAC, éditeurs et j'évite les liens vers des sites proposant des DVD-R où la garantie de recevoir le DVD n'est pas assurée à 100%.
