Foriegn releases not in the US

[Travis]

Which UK, French, etc. other releases are you waiting for impatiently to be released in the US.

Some we can order because they are region free, but others sadly no.

I just ordered Goonies and Payback (director+theatrical), and one already available in the US, Band of Brothers, the price was great.

I am waiting on Dune's US release.

Well, I'm not awaiting them, since I don't live in the US. But I know Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Tim Burton version) and Elektra have been released in region B only.

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and Elektra are both available on Region A Hong Kong Blu-ray Discs.

Looking at Amazon.co.uk again.

Escape from New York, multi-region, any good?

Night of the Living Dead, sadly it is Region B

Dune is definitely on my wish list.

In no particular order...

Dune - Why do the French get it, but noone else?
Downfall (Der Untergang) - The UK BD is okay, but I'd prefer defeatable subtitles, like the German release.
Dam Busters - Region locked in the UK; though I'd prefer the option of chosing a more HD-friendly aspect ratio.
Brotherhood of the Wolf (Le Pacte des loups) - It looks like everyone is getting this title but the US!
Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) - Can there be any excuse for not releasing this in the US at this point?
A Very Long Engagement (Un long dimanche de fiançailles) - Where Amélie has been released, this can't be far behind. Can it?

And a guilty little pleasure: Suzie Templeton's Peter & der Wolf - An amazing achievement, that really should be available everywhere, but which I've only been able to locate in its hyper-expensive German form.

There are so many others. But these are the titles that just roll off the top of my mind.

Honestly, I was dissapointed with the PQ and AQ, and there aren't many extras on it. It might pay off better to wait for a US release.

Are you sure? I have the UK version of "Elektra," and it works in my region-A player.
