I own the German release of this but you can also order the one from the UK (there is a review of that release on this site)!

Your welcome and I think you will enjoy your Region Free BD player; I know I do! I think 40% of my purchases are now from Amazon UK & Amazon Germany. Also, you might want to think about CLEOPATRA from the UK if you don't want to wait for the U.S. release on BD. It is outstanding for both picture and audio!

secretsquirrel · 03-26-2012, 03:15 PM

Do you like thrillers? If so there are several French/French influenced thrillers I recommend.

Tell No One (French release is best)
Hidden (UK release)
Don't Look Back (available from Amazon.cn -for which there its currently a group buy organizing!)
Double Life of Veronique (both Polish and French spoken in this one) (UK release)
Three Colors Trilogy

Extra-Terrestrial · 07-23-2012, 11:10 PM

Refrain from purchasing Flight of the Navigator from Germany, as it's within Second Sights schedule for UK release on the 5th November!

Or better yet, watch it in French with English subtitles. Dubbing always sucks, IMO.

I wish you could get Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources on blu with English subtitles.

I really liked Solomon Kane. If you like fantasy / costume drama / horror films I would say give it a try. For the life of me I do not understand why this did not get a North American release.

*PREACHER* · 08-22-2012, 01:04 AM

Touch of Evil-Eureka/Masters of Cinema...UK
Lifeboat-Hitchcock film, also Eureka/Masters of Cinema...UK
Repo Man-Eureka/Masters of Cinema-80's classic from my childhood...UK
Once-UK
