Don't know if this has been discussed here before but here I go:
There is a french R2 PAL release of THE PROPHECY with C. Walken which features an anamorphic transfer. It is only interpolated but I had the chance of comparing it with a friend's R1 edition and the R2 had better colors, was more...

UOP is "User Operation Prohibition". It's what keeps you from switching thru the FBI warning, it keeps you from changing between DD 5.1 and DD 2.0 on the fly with a Paramount or Fox DVD and it keeps you from switching off forced subtitles on some R2 DVDs. You also can just hit the MENU...
NIXON is comming in 16x9 and DD5.1 this October from TF1, yessssssssss!
But if you don't have UOP the french subs will be forced when english language is selected.

The french version of Judge Dredd is as far as I know 16x9
but I think it has noneofswitchable subtitles when the english track is selected, I'm not 100% positive though, you would need that modified player.
It is english DD 5.1. :)
