Great news ! Always wanted to see this movie.

Since it's locked in the US and that we still don't have a french release date, will pre-order it.

Thanks for the info

Great news- thanks.
Actually listening to the soundtrack at the moment.
One of the best movie scores ever!!
Liking the cover art as well

I hope FOX doesn't screw up this one.

Play have it up for £16.99, whereas HMV have it for £15.99. Nothing on Amazon yet though.

Wooo, really didn't expect this to be released over here, obviously the cover doesn't come close to comparing with the Criterion release, hopefully the picture + audio does.

[BigNickUK]

Awesome. As others have said hopefully the PQ and AQ match the Criterion

[NHassell18]

OH MY GOD! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! SOOOOOOOO happy.

I literally just watched this film last night, and it has instantly gone in to my top 10 films of all time. Absolutely mind-numbingly good.

YES!

Apocalypse Now is region free! Its a great release, import it.

Great to see this given a UK release, love the artwork too. Just, in time for Tree Of Life too.

What cheap and nasty artwork for such a classic film.. If its the same masters as the Criterion your in for a treat..
