I've been getting a lot of emails about this so I thought I should make a post. You CAN order both The Haunted Airman and Bad Mother's Handbook from Amazon.co.uk.
The shipping is pretty cheap. For 2 movies it's 4 GBP = $6. BUT you have to make sure you have a region free DVD player. A lot of the DVD players can be made region free by simple steps. Check your DVD player's model and google to see if it is/can be made region free :) (Here is a link you can check
Thanks to cherifire :))

I enjoyed both films. Goz, do you know if they have special features?
Also, have you seen this:

and this: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/Divinesally/nikkiandrob.png (I don't know where I found this one)
I keep hoping they will release these in the US. I mean, they should certainly know there is a market for them!
Found this site for free codes to unlock your DVD player to make it region-free. Worked on mine. Other sites want you to pay for the codes. Be sure to read the comments for more info.

Does anybody know if this region stuff applies to laptop CD/DVD players? We don't even have a DVD player anymore, we just use our Macs to watch movies.
cherifire: Thanks :))
And christina yes, the laptops also have a region code for the DVD player. ALL DVD players have region codes.
Thanks, Gozde! I'll check that link cheri gave to see if I can do the unlocking thing on my laptop.
I downloaded these films in good quality via the torrent sites, do a search for their titles on mininova.org or similar torrent searches. Since these films are now out on DVD there may be DVD rip available for these films. Please note you do need a torrent client to download the actual film tho, bittorrent is a good one. If you got a mac I'd look for transmission as a torrent client, VERY fast. To play these on your computer get the VLC player, that thing will play ANYTHING.
Since I am in region 2 I have of course bought these on DVD now hehe. From what i know neither of these two films got any extras on them. I know The Bad Mother's Handbook is only the movie, still waiting for the Haunted Airman to arrive (along with my blue-ray disc of twilight grrrr!!)
I absolutely adore bit torrent! I have a good copy of The BMH. Azureus/Vuse is the shiz! Mininova, Isohunt, thepiratebay, torrent reactor, and demonoid are really good sources.
I was able to get a region-free DVD player on Amazon. It can play anything.
On my laptop, which is an HP, it will play a different region DVD, but you can only switch back-and-forth five times - then you're stuck with whatever you ended with. So I didn't do that.
I've watched Bad Mother's Handbook I don't know how many times and my copy of Haunted Airman is on it's way, but I'll have to wait a while... UK is SO FAR from Arizona! LOL
Thanks Goz! Finally watched Haunted Airman over the weekend. Chilling story and so stylishly filmed. RP's acting is brilliant in his portrayal of Toby. All the actors did an such incredible job. Would love to see each of them in future films.
Fantastic movie for those who have not yet gotten a chance to watch. Please do and buy the DVD.
:)
