Pirate DVDs in Bogota

Unfortunately Colombia is still very far behind with respect of 'business intelligence'. The chinese are much better.
Sadly in Colombia you dont really get a lot of pirated CDs and DVDs. In China on the other hand there is a lot of choice and cheap. Chinese take the buisiness opportunity when they see it, not so in Colombia. Sometimes I think we colombians dont like to do business, maybe we could become rich...

try San Andresito, you can even preview the movies before you buy to make sure you get a good copy. they're about 10 mil pesos.

pirate dvds when i was there -jun-july 2004 there were massive amounts of pirate dvds, both copies of dvd ans cinema cam of new movies - many sellers just at traffic lights all over the place, carrera septima had street sellers on the footpath. san andresito and a place where i cant remember the name only about 5 minutes from Andino where there are many electronic shops. the quality was always passable.seen better seen worse... but they were plentiful.

hi there.. if you want good quality.. then i recommend these people

www.dvdcali.tk
www.dvdmarket.tk

the dvds they sell are copies of orginal dvds and therefore your quality is great, and you get all the menus, subtitles and extra features etc..
i live in london, and have actually bought 30 dvds from dvdcali.tk and he sent them to my house in colombia and from there they sent them to me here.. so they are reliable. so if not happy with quality sold at san andresitos, then check these sites out they're very good. i found them on mercadolibre and deremate. oh yeah also if you gonna buy a lot.. then ask for a discount you might get one ;)

as for films to add to your list in spanish:

amores perros
Antes que anochezca (before night falls)
Carne Tremula
El sexo y lucia
La mala educacion
Los diarios de motocicleta
Mar adentro
Tesis
todo sobre mi madre

I contacted one on the places in Cali that you recommended, cypher, but I don't have tie to wait for them to send me the DVDs, but I'll remember it for next time. However, I did find a little shop on Avenida Jiminez in Bogota that has good quality DVDs. Not a great selection, but they have a DVD player and onitor so youcan see what youare getting. I got four Spanish ovies that have subtitles in English and Spanish, and a few Hollywood movies that have bilingual subtitles, and the quality is good. Theyhave lots of salsa and Vallenato DVDs, too.
