Good sites to buy Euro movies?

Ok, this is just a general enquiry for those who know:

Can anyone recommend decent websites from which to buy classic Euro titles? By a 'decent site' I mean ones that are reliable, have a good selection, and don't overprice. I assume that most of these would be located on the European mainland, since the US and UK have somewhat spotty selections (judging by the sites I've seen) but there may be UK/US sites I've missed.

I'm based in the UK, and though I've ordered from a couple of mainland Euro sites before, I found that they were either in native languages - which made them hard for a philistine like myself - and/or they felt dodgy.

So, from your personal experiences; can anyone recommend Euro sites with a decent selection that are reliable and would be user-friendly to someone in the UK.

I might bump this once or twice over a few weeks to try and get a selection of opinions.

I supposed your best bet is Orgazmik in Switzerland, click the ad on the left which gives you the English version. They have been around for quite a long time and have built up a reputation of being reliable.

They are not as cheap as some continental retailers that show up on auction sites such as filmundo, but then... you pay for your convenience , risk-aversion and mono-lingualism.

True, I'd rather pay a little more for better security than less with none. As for mono-lingualism, I only meant that because there are Euro sites in German/Swedish/Italian/French/Dutch ect, having more than one language available still leaves you unable to properly assess all the best sites (although many are now doing multi-language options, I just wanted people's opinions on what they thought were the best sites).

I should also point out that I accidentally left the word 'Classic' off the thread title (although it's in the body of the thread). What I'm really looking for is a decent supplier of the older stuff. So if I was looking for, say, some old Barbara Moser movies, or a title like 'Sex Roulette', where would you suggest I start?

The three sites you guys suggested look good though, I'll check them out.

AFAIC, the orgazmik prices are a joke really; they'll never get my hard earned cash, sorry.

I'd go for the openerotik site if I were you; they look clean enough. Not easy to get older stuff these days though.

You'd be better off joining some vintage forum and get them for free actually. That's what I do anyway.
