Default Descriptive audio for the blind or

English Descriptive Audio. Is there a list anywhere of Blu-Ray movies with eather of these on them? I know some movies have them because I have found a few at Blockbuster, but the only way seems to look at the back cover of every title in the store. My wife is blind and she enjoys the extra info that descriptive audio has and I would like to rent more movies with this option but so far have not been able to find a list of movies with this option.
We are in the U.S.

I'm not aware of any easily accessible list of these, but I can say with certainty that The Eye, 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later have English descriptive audio for the visually impaired and are denoted so on their boxes. The Dark Knight definitely has this as well, although it does not say so on the box.

Identity, Closer and Stranger Than Fiction (newer Special Edition) also have this listed on the box, although I don't have these to check. There are likely more...

I would never listen to the full descriptive video of the Dark Knight only the prisoner transfer scene, and a bit of the opening credits and the bank hiest. I closed my eyes and just listened to the discriptive video, I found it to be extremly weird, but interesting. Has your wife heard the Dark Knight in True HD.

We have not seen Dlack Knight but have seen The Eye, I know that a lot of movies have some descripitve audio because a local theater has one of it's screens set up to show movies with both CC and descriptive audio. Too bad that when they are released on Blu-Ray they don't just add that audio option also.

I could have started a new thread, but I'll just add to what what was already started...


I like listening to the DA (Descriptive Audio) track because you can find out details that you'd otherwise need a screenplay text to reveal. I found this useful in a futuristic Sci-Fi movie like Blade Runner 2049. Once I get all the details revealed, then I'll prefer to just watch the movie without the DA turned on.

If anyone wants to list out those they know for sure has them, I'll start a thread that lists them all like so.
