Titles you wish were not region locked (Region A only) - Blu-ray Forum

Jac0b · 06-23-2013, 08:56 PM

Which titles would you like to see come over to the UK?

Villiam Hayes · 06-23-2013, 09:38 PM

The Basketball Diaries is the first that comes to mind....there is a region b release in Brazil but not sure how you'd go about getting that it and what the cost would be after postage.

I've gone region-unlockable, but still prefer to get Region-B friendly wherever possible. I'd like to see:

Godzilla (preferably by Eureka! under their MoC label)
Deadwood
Black Mask
The Storm Riders

Also, a UK release of Black Dynamite would be nice. The US release is locked, and the German release (which I own) is rather pricey.

Qatsi trilogy

NoFro · 06-24-2013, 06:29 AM

The first season of Archer!

theprestige85 · 06-24-2013, 06:42 AM

This is going to be easy..

Christopher Nolan's Following (1998)

The upcoming Rainer Werner Fassbinder collection

Walkabout by Roeg.

Most Criterion Collections basically.

I'd like to echo the Criterions and Archer and add in Justified season 2. I'm region free but it's still annoying we haven't got a UK BD release of this show yet

ronster87 · 06-24-2013, 08:23 AM

Wrong Turn
Darkness Falls
The Air I Breathe
Suburban Girl
Simply Irresistible

I NEED these films on Blu-Ray! I see why region coding happens, but I don't have to be happy about it.

Walkabout was released last year by Universal

Rosemary's Baby but I can wait for the UK one.

The Prestige and Drive because the PQ is a bit better than the UK ones apparently.

There might be one or two others but there isnt enough to make me buy a region A player anyway.

tigertron · 06-24-2013, 11:30 AM

The Island (Paramount version) but only because the PQ is slightly better and it has better AQ.

Nyle · 06-24-2013, 11:40 AM

I'd like Hunger to be region free.

AML74 · 06-24-2013, 11:53 AM

I'd really like to see the Criterion edition of Quadrophenia on Region B.

I love the film, but can't justify the expense of a Region-Free player.

I was slightly misled about what my Denon would play when i bought it...

As an aside, i wonder why the Criterion bd's are Region locked but the dvd's are Region free?

Their dvds are not region free. They used to release region free dvds at the start. They haven't released a region free release for a very long time.
