Best IMPORT Blu-ray titles....

[ulri4651]

Wanted to get some opinions here on what people think are the best blu-ray titles available exclusively OUTSIDE of the US. I import like crazy so I have a short list in mind. I'm not asking about opinions on the movie itself but rather the PQ/AQ and special features. Which titles do you feel are most worthy of importing?
My short list includes:

-Cache (UK)
-Gomorrah (Italy)
-Ne le dis a personne (France)
-L'ennemi intime (France)
-Waltz with Bashir (UK)

Silent Hill - Germany
Almost Famous - UK, Aus, HK
The Punisher (2004) - UK, Aus, HK
Kung Fu Hustle - HK *NOTE: You lose English subtitles for some of the special features but you get the original uncut version*

I have Sophie Scholl and love it

[Clark Kent]

The Island from the U.K. is a good one, though no lossless audio option.

[Blu-Jawa]

I got sci-fi channel's "Tin Man" Blu-Ray from the UK. Fantastic PQ & AQ IMO. with a running time of 4½ hrs on a single disc.

I like Shrooms from the UK release.

The Thing (1982) - UK
Tristan & Isolde - Netherlands

[fronk777]

I liked Son of Rambow UK

[rkolinski]

The Island is really good for PQ as is Escape from New York but the best PQ I've seen on blu-ray for an import is ZULU!!!

[rkolinski]

Oh, I forgot; the original FOG has a really great PQ too from the UK!

Its leaps and bounds above the horrendous DVD

The UK BBC 5-disc "Planet Earth" is a great value, because you get a bonus disc (a PAL DVD) of two other documentaries, and it's currently about $20 cheaper (imported with shipping from Amazon.co.uk) than the U.S. counterparts.

Also, Paramount's Zulu disc from the UK is region-free, with extras in NTSC (playable on US TVs), and will likely never receive a better release in the USA, because it's public domain here.

And Sony's Australian release of American Psycho is miles better than the BD-25, MPEG-2 Lionsgate USA release.

Anyone know how the (UK) Seraphim Falls is? I would love to get that movie if no plans for a US release pop up soon
