Blu-rays From Europe Not Available in the UK

[drees5761]

Have put a list up on first post and will try and keep it updated, thanks for all who have listed so far...

[Blu MacReady]

Wow, had no idea Twins had its own BD release....such a box office smash at the time and totally disregarded on BD, considering the 80s is so popular.

Glad to see Judgement Night is available.

Will check reviews but would love both these

Also a strange thing in the UK and almost all of the EU is the release only for HATCHET 2 and NOT number 1 and 3. Only Germany has them all alone or as a Boxset.
Other release is the ENTER THE VOID bluray. Still no UK release, maybe of the content.

Another release was LOST HIGHWAY without the 5.1 audio that around world has as a release and still not a adjusted copy.

[Margot Robbie Fan]

In Germany particularly, there must be more of a market for these smaller indie movies compared to the UK and US (or at least that's what the distributors think). Many DVD only titles have gotten blu-ray releases there, the most recent one being The Escort which will be releasing next week.

yeh the problem with German Hatchet films the boxset has cut version of pt3
I think, only Austria got that Uncut
Arrow released Pt2 so maybe they could do boxset

Thanks - I hadn't realised that. Most BD editions have just the longer director's cut, which is generally reckoned to be the better one, but the original theatrical cut also has a number of scenes that were omitted or shortened for the director's cut, so it will be interesting to have the choice of both. I've ordered it.

I actually prefer the theatrical cut of Copland. Yeah Canal released this the same time as The Yards blu which has two near similar cuts (think we posted about that at the time)

This is a good idea but a lot of work to organise the OP to show all of the movies, it's possible though. I like to import movies too for various reasons.

I wasn't aware of this one. However, Amazon UK are listing it (under the title 'Historia de un Crimen'), and they show the running time as 113 mins. The correct running time is 118 mins, so it appears that this Spanish edition is probably 1080i/50 with 'PAL speedup'.

It would be helpful if you (or anyone else) could confirm this.
