I personally own The Jackal and 12 Monkeys and can confirm that they are region free. Another "Universal"-movie that is available region free on Blu-ray is U-571 which I also own. It is distributed by Entertainment in Video in UK.

Hi, can you confirm that U-571 is region free please...I've got a R1 player and when I recently tried Gangs of New York which is also a Entertaiment In Video UK title, it would'nt play so I held off getting U-571.

Yes, I can confirm that U-571 is region free just like Next and Days of Glory. I have played it in my Region A Playstation 3.

I have been thinking about ordering Gangs of New York just to check the region coding on that disc but it seams like I don't have to now. I already own Gangs of New York on DVD and I don't want to double dip on too many discs.

I own both a region A and a Region B PS3 but plays almost all my movies on the region A PS3.

I frequently order HD DVD imports(movies that were only released on BlueRay here in North America)from Exploited Video's web site.I don't know if they are stocking import BlueRay movies but it might be worth it to check.
