I love Poirot, and especially David Suchet's portrayal....BUT....Why oh Why can't Acorn provide closed captioning on their movies? I realize that the general public would never think of this option, but there are many of us that are hearing impaired and would also love to be able to enjoy many of the wonderful movies that are out there..Most other companies offer subtitles. Please Acorn, if you ever read these reviews, think about adding closed captioning for the quiet minority. I thank you for listening.

The first three Movie Collection sets are all on Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection, Vol. 2. Don't be fooled into buying duplicate DVDs.

Perfect as David Suchet is, one only needs one copy of any Poirot movie. Buying these DVDs is like making a mystery purchase. Until Amazon is prepared to protect customers by ensuring that the titles of the movies on each DVD are listed, so that you know what you are purchasing, my strong advice is don't buy. Or try Amazon UK for more honest advertising.

As usual, this was a great collection with Poirot. Always enjoy his mysteries and Agatha Christie of course is an excellent writer.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys mysteries. It's hard to find good ones in the USA.

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

T am one of the many who love David Suchet as Poirot .In a Poirot DVD on Supersluths, Suchet talks about the careful study and accuracy he wanted to bring to the character and how the descendents of Dame Agatha Christie were so pleased with his efforts.The anachronisfic accuracy of the Cars, Planes, Trains and clothes of the 1930`s Deco and Great Mystery`s , It truly is like Dining verses just Eating.I want get all of the Poirot Series.

Very good movie quality with Poirot who is always very respectable and intelligent. Interesting turns and twists until the killer is identified.

I was always very curious when I used to see my mother buy and read this novels, it always made me wonder what was the fascination? I remember she used to tell me how my grandmother was a fun of this novelist, and when she was young she also wonder...specially because my grandfather used to always make negative comments about her choice of literature. Well, am I impress? YES! Dame Agatha Christie knew what she was doing. And I'm glad that my mother was enchanted with both Poirot & Marple, the first movie she saw was the black and white "And then there were none", she was disappointed with the ending, since it's not how it ends in the novel, but it started her in her way to find more books and movies, I have been very happy to purchase them through Amazon, we just simply can't get enough of Amazon. This movie collection is just great, but my favorite is "Dumb Witness", what a great plot! My hat off to Mr Poirot for being so annoying with his extreme ways, and yet fascinating to watch.

All the POIROT movies are wonderful. We use them as the perfect entertainment to cuddle up with on a Saturday morning.

David Suchet is the definitive Poirot. This series of stories are marvelous. There is so much attention to detail for the sets, the cars, the clothes and hair. And of course, moustaches! The acting and scripts are superb. These shows are timeless and I enjoy watching mine over and over. The times represented in these stories have passed and gone; and one way we can see them or imagine them are with faithful recreations to Dame Agatha Christie's stories and their time. I have many of the Poirot DVDs in my library and will collect all of them in time. I also collect the audios done by David Suchet and his Captain Hastings. Dame Agatha set the standard for the English mystery: David Suchet set the standard for Poirot!
