Your local video-rental place??? But I wonder if there's a problem with their estate/copyright matters etc.?? That is the case with W.C. Fields' films, and IIRC Chaplin's. In the US we used to see the occasional MB movie on late-night TV, or in theaters that specialized in "classic" films, but not lately; at least not out here in the sticks. It could also be that their material is no longer PC, or pokes too much fun at religio/politico matters and other public idiocies that are currently in fashion.
