    Their turnaround on DVDs is actually very good although you often have to wait a long time to get a new title.

    The main problem is that when you cancel your account, they will then say the DVDs haven't been returned to them on time even after 4 days, when they usually receive it the day after posting. Also, you MUST get a certificate of posting when returning DVDs after cancellation as they may say they haven't been rec'd and try to charge you for these.

    Scammers. You have been warned.

    Availability of top titles from Cinema Paradiso is really poor.

    I signed up for the free trial with Cinema Paradiso and before the trial could expire i returned the dvds. but now after two weeks I am being send dvds again and they want to deduct money from my account.
    there is no phone no on their site where you can contact them and so I really feel miserable.

    Slow turnaround, I personally found it very difficult to cancel. Seriously I do not recommend Cinema Pardiso. The only company who has a good selection and a fast turnaround is Blockbuster... amazing at it seems... Blockbuster

    I started a "free" trial with Cinema Paradiso. As far as I am aware it took a few days for the DVDs to even be dispatched. I cancelled the trial well before it was due to finish and returned my DVDs. They then charged me my first monthly fee. I was expecting this to be refunded after they received my DVDs but this didn't happen. When I queried this they told me that I would not be refunded as they received the disc's after the trial had finished - in my opinion this is totally unlike every othe ...

    You need to tell your readers that Cinema Paradiso is not a good company. I did a free trial with them and cancelled before the end of the trial as was my right. I had returned the DVD's but there was a postal strike which they knew about and mentioned on their site. Eventually they received their dvd's. But they then charged me for an extra month in which i did not ask for or receive any dvd's! I have written politely several times, they are impossible to contact by phone. Each time they write ...

    I am on the one disc unlimited package which is a misnomer because I'm lucky if I get a disc a week from my selection of 25 films. Initially though all was well and I received a couple of films a week and these were always within my top 5 choices. However after 3 months that changed and I started getting films from the bottom of my list only, and the turnaround time went up from a couple of days to about 5 days. When I complained about this I was told about their fair usage policy which I can on ...

    I have only been a member of ScreenSelect and Cinema Paradiso online DVD rental so far, but Cinema Paradiso is easily the best. The website is very easy to use, and it has many advanced features that make the experience more fun too. One of my favourite features is the Mini-list, that sits on the right side of the window and enables you to change the order of your priority list by dragging titles around.

    In terms of value, I am currently on the 4 DVD's a month (2 at a time) for £7.99. I ...

    I have been using their service for over two years now.
    In the meantime I subscribed to all the major rental companies just to compare, and I can tell you, the more you stay their customer, the better service you get. Guaranteed!

    Cinema Paradiso are smaller than other online DVD rental companies, and they have much better world cinema titles.

    They pay more attention to the detail, and if you decide to upgrade/downgrade to a different level, turnaround remains the same.

    I signed up for a free trial with Cinema Paradiso online DVD rental, but several days later nothing had happened. I emailed to find out why? They claimed to have sent me an email telling me to add more titles to my list.
    I received no such email, and it was not clear on the site that I had to have a minimum selection listed.

    I cancelled, as I feel that good communication and clarity are essential to running an internet service. If they could not get this right, yet send me a reply to a comp ...
