ady_lister 17th Oct 2024		4K Blu-ray Black Sabbath: The End - Live Birmingham (2024)	Contains 4K disc only. Card sleeve with booklet. Added as International as cannot establish there are any other versions sold in other territories.
ady_lister 15th Jul 2022		DVD Bullets Or Ballots - Warner Home Video (2006)	I've got this same disc and while its marked 'Region 1' on the cover - it is in fact Region Free.
ady_lister 15th Jul 2022		DVD The Private Life Of Henry VIII - The Film Detective (2015)	Not a recommended edition. Duped by the good cover art but its a DVD-R disc with cropped off titles at the start and generally bad quality. I know this film looks better. There's a Criterion Edition but its only available as part of a reasonably expensive Korda Box Set.
ady_lister 21st May 2022		Blu-ray Michael Jackson's: This Is It - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2010)	I'm not sure if this was available commercially and was a giveaway if you registered a Sony Bravia TV and applied online for it. You also got 'Bolt 3D' and a 3D Demo disc.
ady_lister 20th May 2021		Multi-Format Crosby, Stills And Nash - 2012 (2012)	Blu Ray + 2 CD set was a Best Buy exclusive. Other retail release was a DVD + 2CD set.
ady_lister 13th May 2021		Blu-ray Box Set Kevin Smith: 3 - Movie Collection (2009)	'Clerks' and 'Chasing Amy' are Region Free. 'Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back' is Region A locked.
ady_lister 13th May 2021		Multi-Format Citizen Kane - Warner Home Video (2011)	The 'Citizen Kane' Blu Ray and 'The Battle Over Citizen Kane' DVD are Region Free. The 'RKO 281' DVD is Region 1 locked however. There is a 'Rosebud' Card folder with various pieces of ephemera including posters, lobby cards, contracts, correspondence between Wells and the Studio etc... and a reproduction program. It's a very nice package. The 20 or so scans are beyond the limit of my endurance I'm afraid.
ady_lister 9th May 2021		DVD Tiny Toon Adventures: Looney Links! - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2013)	This is Season 4 of 'Tiny Toon Adventures'. There was a quality issue with this where episode 'Weekday Afternoon Live' on disc 2 played a duplicate sequence from episode 'Toon TV' on disc 1. The corrected disc 2 has '7000052719.2 in the rim.
ady_lister 9th May 2021		DVD Tiny Toon Adventures: Crazy Crew Rescues! - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2013)	This is Season 3 of 'Tiny Toon Adventures' which Warner seems to have just thrown out not keeping in line with the previous releases and giving it a silly title which relates to nothing.
ady_lister 9th May 2021		DVD Tiny Toon Adventures: Season 1 Volume 2 - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2009)	Is marked as Region 1 on packaging but is Region Free. Comes in outer card slip but the info is same as the inside cover so I haven't scanned it.
ady_lister 9th May 2021		DVD Tiny Toon Adventures: Season 1 Volume 1 - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2008)	Disc 4 is two-sided. Is marked as Region 1 on packaging but is Region Free. Comes in outer card slip but the info is same as the inside cover so I haven't scanned it.
ady_lister 13th Apr 2021		DVD Box Set The Animated Feature Films Of Tintin - Anchor Bay Entertainment (2006)	Have no idea why they translated English title of 'Tintin And The Lake Of Sharks' to 'Mystery Of Shark Lake'. I can find absolutely no reference to it ever being referred to in English by that title.
ady_lister 13th Apr 2021		DVD Double Dynamite - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2008)	Is marked as Region 1 but is actually Region Free.
ady_lister 13th Apr 2021		DVD Double Dynamite - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2019)	Series: Archive Collection
ady_lister 29th Mar 2021		DVD Rhapsody In August - Prism Leisure (2001)	Is marked as Region 2 but is actually Region Free. Is also annoyingly in the wrong aspect ratio of 4:3
ady_lister 4th Mar 2021		DVD The Silent Duel - Yume Pictures (2007)	Don't know why Yume Pictures translated the title to 'The Silent Duel' as the Japanese translates more closely as 'Quiet Duel' and every source I can find calls it 'The Quiet Duel'.
ady_lister 4th Mar 2021		Blu-ray Box Set From The Minds Of The Coen Brothers - MGM (2011)	I have elected not to put the title in braces: '{From the Minds of the} Coen Brothers' as I assume it may mess up any search. Feel free to correct if you think it should be as written on the packaging. 'Blood Simple' is Region A but the other 3 discs are Region Free.
ady_lister 11th Jan 2021		Blu-ray Box Set Masters Of Sex: The Complete Series - Mill Creek Entertainment (2018)	Is marked as Region A on packaging but is Region Free.
ady_lister 11th Jan 2021		Blu-ray Aftermath - Signature (2017)	Is marked Region B on the packaging but is Region Free.
ady_lister 6th Jan 2021		DVD The Strawberry Statement - Warner Home Video (2012)	Series: Archive Collection
ady_lister 15th Jul 2020		Blu-ray Vampire Hunter D - Sentai Filmworks (2015)	Is labelled Region A but is Multi-Region.
ady_lister 15th Jul 2020		Blu-ray Berlin: Symphony Of A Great City - Flicker Alley (2018)	Is labelled Region A but is Multi-Region.
ady_lister 21st Apr 2020		DVD Box Set Groucho Marx: You Bet Your Life The Best Episodes - Shout! Factory (2004)	Unlike the previous 'Lost Episodes' which was Region 1, this set is Region Free.
ady_lister 21st Apr 2020		DVD Box Set Groucho Marx: You Bet Your Life The Lost Episodes - Shout! Factory (2003)	There are quite a lot of budget DVD 'You Bet Your Life' compilations out there seemingly as a lot of the series is now in the Public Domain. This and the subsequent 'Best Episodes' set are the only authorised collections from Groucho Marx Productions and NBC.
ady_lister 24th Mar 2020		DVD The History Of Beavis And Butt-Head - MTV Home Entertainment (2002)	Despite having a Region 1 identifier on both sleeve and discs - this is in fact, Region Free.
ady_lister 21st May 2019		DVD Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story - Altitude (2019)	[YouTube Video]
ady_lister 19th Feb 2019		DVD Neil Young: Solo Trans - [none]	Wouldn't have thought so - this will be a bootleg of the Solo Trans Laserdisc.
ady_lister 12th Aug 2018		Blu-ray Being There - The Criterion Collection (2017)	Series: The Criterion Collection 864
ady_lister 28th Jun 2018		DVD Box Set The Wicker Man - Warner Home Video (2002)	I went to a screening of this at the BFI back in 2000. There was a panel with Christopher Lee and Q&A at the end. It was a massive sell-out so me and my friend showed up early to try and get two of the 10 'stand-bys' the BFI held back for every screening. Of course, when we got there - the queue was about a mile long. (I think there's footage of this on the docu extras). So we waited patiently expecting to be disappointed... After about half an hour, the queue suddenly started moving. It seems that the invited cast and crew members - who weren't that fussed in seeing the film gave up their seats to allow more members of the public in. My and my friend ended up 4 rows from the front sat next to Ingrid Pitt!
ady_lister 10th May 2018		Blu-ray Dead Man - The Criterion Collection (2018)	Series: The Criterion Collection 919.
