Why not just buy the US BD of The Shining as it's the longer cut

longer != better

Many consider the EU cut to be superior to the US one.

Longer doesn't always mean better, I agree.

Jamesmcrosby was hoping for the longer cut so I was pointing him in the right direction, I too prefer the longer cut of The Shining

Sorry, total fail on my part. I didn't read the original post you were referring to, just yours. In his case, importing the US edition would be the way to go. I do wish Warner would just release both cuts in both regions though, they could just use seamless branching for it.

Sounds good to me

Always nice to have the option. Save all this double dip nonsense too.

The US Shining was one of the first blu-rays I imported as I definitely wanted the longer cut. More Kubrick = better.
