Hi HD. One to put on your radar is "Goodbye Bafana" the 2007 Joseph Fiennes movie about Nelson Mandela's relationship with his captors while imprisoned. Here in the US it got a DVD release with the alternate title, "The Color of Freedom". There is a Swedish bluray release that I have on the way to me. Unfortunately this title may also need to go on the OOP list now/soon.

Please post specs when you get it.

First, THANK YOU for doing this! List has been hugely helpful to me!

I notice that Rossellini's War Trilogy is no longer on the list now that the Criterion is out. The Criterion does by all reports have better PQ and more extras, but the BFI release contains the documentary Children of Open City and the Rossellini feature L'amore.

Not sure if this should go under Rome, Open City and Germany Year Zero, something like this:

Rome, Open City
US - AVC 35.23 mbps, IT LPCM 1.0 1152 kbps 24-bit, English subs, more extras (Region A locked) Best PQ
UK - AVC 34.99 mbps, IT LPCM 2.0 2304 kbps 24-bit mono, English subs, contains Children of Open City documentary (Region B locked)

Germany Year Zero
US - AVC 35.29 mbps, DE LPCM 1.0 1152 kbps 24-bit, English subs, more extras (Region A locked) Best PQ
UK - AVC 34.99 mbps, DE LPCM 2.0 2304 kbps 24-bit mono, English subs, contains L'amore (Region B locked)

Or if Children of Open City and/or L'amore should get their own entries (sort of like Burden of Dreams from the UK Herzog boxed set), or if they should not be included at all.

Thanks!

I would if I could. Only specs I will have available are what is on the case and what my player, TV, and AVR can display to me.

You can't do a BDInfo scan?
