For this movie it affects maybe 10 minutes of the running time max but is a pain. There is an Australian blu ray i think which would of course have english subs

Full-length TV mini-series version of Das Boot.

Just remembered another one - Agora. I've got the French one which I think is the best but I am pretty sure there is a Spanish, German one too?

I'll have to check and get back to you on that.

I'm really gutted that the upcoming Blu-ray premier of Diva doesn't have any English subs. I've been waiting for this film to get a HD release for over ten years now.

Although there's a really good release of Betty Blue, Jean-Jacques Beineix has been treated rather poorly on Blu. The US disc of The Moon in the Gutter is appalling, and Roselyn and the Lions isn't available anywhere.

[CinemaScope]

The Steve Martin comedy, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid from Italy, I have it & it looks very nice.

[Bruce Morrison]

Can you please add these two titles:

Front Page, The (1974) (Germany under the title 'Extrablatt')
Breach (Denmark)

[Andrew354]

Hi drees5761,

I recently suggested this...

...which you added to the Germany list.

Could you please make a note that it is the 2014 mini-series so that people don't confuse it with the original film.

Thank you kindly.

BTW - great idea for the the list and thank you for all your hard work in updating it. I'm sure I speak for other members as well in showing appreciation for your contribution to the community.

Avanti! only as an Italian release, looks nice enough, only 1080i mind.

The only other non UK/US release I have is 'Road Games' (Aus) will had other shortly with 'Day of the Jackal' which is released soon.

[The Andromeda Strain]

- both have English audio & subtitles.

The Andromeda Strain is being released in the UK in February so anyone considering importing this should wait a few weeks.

When you next update the master list, could you please add a note to the 'Infamous' entry in the Spain list that it is a 1080i/50 transfer. Thanks.

I hope Warner will soon get around to releasing this splendid film on BD!
