Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Movie Collection, Set 1

I have to say, this used dvd is as if it were new! I definitely appreciate at times like these when I need to be frugal. The quality is excellent! I'm coming back for the remainders little by little! Thank you! The package also came swiftly.

This Poirot was the best - very happy I have it because if I ever wanted to see it that could be impossible and now it is not.

As advertised

This Agatha Christie's Poirot: Movie Collection series is always a great viewing of wonderful acting and a good story.

I own all but 2 of the Poirot series with David Suchet as Poirot. I will eventually purchase the whole series, and will be sad when I have come to the end. David Suchet has portrayed Poirot excellently.I do not compare the movies to the Agatha Christies books. I have not read the books but will someday. I enjoy setting down at days end, plugging in a DVD of Poroit and engulfing myself in a life style of England and the world of years ago. It is hours of entertainment that I can watch over and over. Thank you

There are six installments of the Poirot Movie Collection, almost all including three movies based on Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mystery novels. It's very easy to portray Poirot in a way that his eccentricities dominate the story and make him seem more or less rediculous, when in fact Christie has been loved over many decades for her unusual lead detectives (male and female), diverse characters, plots, and unique way of writing. They may seem dated now in terms of the era(s) in which they are set, but I find this a significant part of their charm. In terms of the story lines, they remain absorbingly diverse and creatively conceived. The renditions here are the best I have seen.

David Suchet is the best Poirot ever. These are great videos and stories; however, Acorn Media really needs to start including closed captioning or subtitles. My wife, who is nearly totally deaf, likes the A&E versions because they include closed captioning. When we watch Acorn Media, I have to stop, explain what's going on and then continue on.

I haven't seen these in YEARS!!! I thought they may not be out on video. So very glad they are. I could watch my Christis all day, and have! The movies are true to the books, and Suchet is true to Poirot! This is a good place to start if you haven't seen any of her books put to film....and, if you enjoy a good mystery, you'll be buying them all up...as I am! They are timeless which is the sign of wonderful writing. You can't go wrong with these which were put out by BBC. They love Ms. Christi and have made sure that she was done proud!
