Remains of the day would be a day 1 purchase for me. Am holding off watching the dvd again in hope of a Blu-ray release.

I couldn't agree more

Anyone know how the transfer compares to the US release?

Meritocracy · 07-05-2012, 04:09 AM

Thanks, jmo78. Exactly what I hoped to hear.

I'm tempted to buy this now

What about the aspect ratio?

The disc page says 1.85:1, but the original ratio (and the 2007 US BD) is 1.66:1

+1

Does it has imposed subtitles?

monei · 01-08-2013, 01:41 AM

Has extras?

sukraj · 01-08-2013, 09:16 AM

I cant wait for this to be released on bluray.

ravenus · 01-08-2013, 10:55 AM

^Erm, what? Stop waiting then, it has been available since May 2012.

Um, it's been out for a while now.

Monei,
As for extras, the back cover lists the same commentary, BBC archival materials, etc. that were on the US blu-ray.

You also asked about imposed subtitles, but why would an English film's English release have imposed subs?

nightcrawler · 01-08-2013, 11:32 AM

Only £5.99 now on Amazon & Play

Anyone knows if the upcoming release by Spirit Entertainment will use the 4K restoration available in the US on the Criterion disc?

If nothing else, £6.99 is great for a new release.

I'd preordered some of the Spirit Entertainment releases. Both Wish You Were Here and The Madness Of King George were listed as Blu-ray, but Amazon cancelled my orders as they turned out to be DVD only

Wendell Armbruster · 07-25-2019, 11:09 AM

I do hope this is just to get the DVDs out to start the licence, and blu-rays will follow. A region B of Madness of King George would be most welcome, and it's always irritating when a label takes on a catalogue and then doesn't do blu-rays of some films.

I wonder how much of the Film Four archive they have access to.
