>Amazon is selling Bootleg DVDs! …and the AFI is supporting it!
The African Queen is NOT legally available on DVD anywhere in the world…
WHY IS AMAZON SELLING DVDs OF IT THEN, AND WHY IS THE AFI REFERENCING THESE BOOTLEGS IN THEIR 100 YEARS, 100 MOVIES ONLINE GRAPHICS?
African Queen (BOOTLEG) for only $13.99!
or:
or, if you need a bootleg of the film in PAL:
African Queen [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany] BOOTLEG starting at $28.89!
I was checking out the new list of the revised 100 greatest films at the AFI’s site and found something interesting. Â The way they display the movies is in a flash animation that shows the movies DVD cover, which I find incredibly crass, but that’s another story. Â So in the case of Star Wars, you’ll see the 2006 Photoshopped “art” and in the case of Raiders of the Lost Ark you’ll see the pan-and-scan cover for “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark”.Â
Number 65 on the list is The African Queen, a film that has not been released on DVD yet.  I’m including a picture of what they have displayed on their page.
Go figure…!
