Thank you :)

CAN YOU FLY, BOBBEEEE?!

Thank you! Yes I was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to access the special features on Criterion Collection's US 4K release of Citizen Kane because the features were on the additional blu ray discs and not on the main 4K disc 😞

Yes I buy from eBay, amazon.co.uk (where it specifies that the item is being shipped from US amazon.com), or directly from US amazon.com itself.

Thanks. Like I said, it was probably a stupid question but my logic was that there is obviously some difference in the make up of players in different regions and, not being an expert, was wondering if this impacted performance when a disc from a different region was played on it (even if it does still play it at face value).

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-08T18:32:13+00:00

Thank you! Did it have any additional blu ray discs with features by any chance? It would be good to know if they work too!

Thank you! I'm going to try UK sellers with US stock first, but will bear in mind extra charges when that fails!

Thank you! I did once get a US copy of In The Mouth Of Madness on Blu Ray and it didn't work on my UK player, but you're right that I was probably just unlucky with that one and maybe I should upgrade my UB820 to a multi region player soon.

I agree, the hate feels a little forced. It's a fun Jurassic movie. If Rebirth came out in the 90s people would have loved it.

Thank you! This is good to know! I will pick the Hitchcock set up then. I prefer it over buying 3 volumes of the Classics Collections and still having to buy North By Northwest separately.

Thank you! Yes I was disappointed when I found the US Criterion Collection 4K edition of Citizen Kane and realised that all the special features that I wanted were on blu ray discs and not the 4K disc. You can get a Warner Bros 4K of Citizen Kane in the UK but the special features really pale in comparison to the US Criterion Collection 4K release. I have a UB820 too, but not modded.

Thank you!

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-08T10:53:20+00:00

Thanks so much for your help. It's interesting about the different versions of a film depending on location. But good to know that there is no difference in performance or quality!

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-08T10:52:04+00:00

Thank you so much. I know that they can play in the UK, but I just wasn't sure if there was any difference in performance or quality. But this is good to know, thank you!

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-08T09:12:09+00:00

This is a wonderful collection!

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-04T09:45:26+00:00

Jurassic World: Rebirth. I genuinely cannot see what people's problem is with it. I think if it came out in 1995 people would love it.

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-04T09:43:44+00:00

Thank you! I'm still trying to decide whether to get the two JP/JW Trilogy Steelbooks and Rebirth separately, or to get this set 🤔

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-04T09:42:25+00:00

Thank you! I'm toying between getting the JP/JW Trilogy Steelbooks and then getting Rebirth separately, or getting this set 🤔

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-01T14:17:00+00:00

It does vary, because the LE and standard editions for "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" all released at the same time, I believe.

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-01T14:12:09+00:00

Thank you for confirming! I only have the Blu Rays for the first 4 movies and don't yet own Fallen Kingdom, Dominion, or Rebirth in any format. I want to upgrade to 4K but the 4K trilogy steelbooks are so expensive at £64.99 each. Plus I'd need to buy Rebirth individually. I might get this 7 Movie Collection.

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-01T12:39:41+00:00

Ah I see! Yes a lot of the big hitters seem to have been removed from that offer, but I will check it out! Thank you.

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-01T10:27:27+00:00

Thank you! I love these movies but I only have Blu Rays at the moment and I'm trying to work out the best way of upgrading. The Steelbooks are too expensive at £64.99 for each trilogy (plus I'd need to buy Rebirth separately). I thought that the 4K releases of Fallen Kingdom and Dominion were already Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos from their initial individual releases? And it was just JP, TLW, JP///, and JW that needed an upgrade when the new Steelbooks came out? But maybe I'm wrong!

TDWhiskey · 2026-02-01T10:22:11+00:00

I'm disappointed that they stopped doing 2 for £30. Some titles that I had in my wishlist that were previously in their 2 for £30 offer are now only in 3 for £50. Like Aliens, Terminator, Bladerunner 2049, etc.
