The Canadian version of "The Ghost Writer" is the longer international cut. The US disc is the shorter, edited version. On top of that, the Canadian BD is not a flipper like the US is.

Bad Sandwich · 08-16-2011, 09:47 AM

French Silent Hill is region free

Bad Santa - UK/Aus/Fre/German have better video (higher bitrate AVC), but 'Unrated' cut only, and less extras. US has Unrated and director's cut. US is PCM, others are TrueHD

I believe it's the same master, but I think the U.K. version is AVC while the U.S. version is MPEG-2.

You may want to list the Italian Blu-ray of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly as having no english audio track.

I found out the hard way when I ordered it. The website I ordered it from listed English as well as Italian, but was incorrect.

Picture does look great though compared to the U.S. release.

U.K. version of Unbreakable does not have the crackling audio that the U.S. release has.

U.K. Sixth Sense has less DNR than the American release.

U.K. Air Force One has correct subtitles. They are incorrect for one bit of dialogue on the U.S. release.

Italy version of A Fistful of Dollars has a better transfer.

Would it be too much to ask for you to also list if the superior non-domestic versions are region A or region free?

Thanks
