    Amazon may be your best bet - if you need to get all or a large number of them asap.

    Triumph of the will should be easy enough to find in virgin/hmv though there are different versions of this - some better quality than others and I think there is even one dubbed into english (could be wrong about that).

    Ps there are some clips here

    Far as I know the movies are out of copyright so it may be worth searching for free downloads of them.

    I've planned to see Triumph of the Will ever since I found out the final shots from Star Wars were lifted directly from it :)

    I knew StarWars used Dambusters or one of those dogfight type ones for the xwing/tie fighter bits - but didnt know it lifted scenes from Triumph too. Just googled that and found this site too - apparently theres tons of movies that have copied/been influenced by parts of it

    You should check out this website if you're interested in where Lucas got some of his ideas/inspirations for star wars

    Thats just depressing ! I heard that it was actually all based on the wizard of oz - and the more I thought about that the more that made sense. The Lion (chewie) the Tin man (C3pio) the perilous journey - the unmasking of the villain etc.

    I think people can also read too much into things and see things that arent really there. But still from those above links theres not much in the star wars movies that was remotely original.

    Still brilliant movies though specially considering the quality of the rest of the crap that was doing the rounds when they came out.
