I *hate* you people.

I'm going to have to join the region-free brigade sooner rather than later. My credit card weeps.

Have you decided on a region -free player ? I'm curious , because I'm looking for one as well . I almost decided on a player a couple of weeks ago , but the dealer was sold out so I put the purchase on the back burner. Still, there are region 2 films I'd like to see, like Day The Earth Caught Fire , so I'll have to decide soon. I was just wondering if you had a player in mind .

Yeah, you guys need to get a region-free player for sure. It's great not to worry about regions/zones and just enjoy movies. I have a couple relatively cheap region-free LG players and they have been just fine.

I couldn't agree more on the region-free freedom. I ended up with an Oppo BDP-103 and added a kit to it, so while certainly not a cheap solution the player is fantastic and I've started building up a great collection of Blus not released in North America yet. Quatermass and the Pit was my gateway drug, and it's absolutely stellar.

I've since heard that their is a credit for Cohen on the BFI transfer so presumably they were involved in someway, meaning a Region A release of the same transfer is possibly imminent.

Thanks very much, the "credit" is good news indeed.

I already have a region free DVD player . But I'm looking for a dependable all region Blu-ray player. I'll take a look at the LG Players. I assume you got yours through Amazon.com.

As I recall it was Bombay Electronics in Chicago. They have an extensive lineup of brands and players on their website.

My copy of The Day The Earth Caught Fire shipped yesterday.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I had to order this title twice before it shipped which caused me to cancel my first order.

 

[Alan Tully]

I have this now, just zipped through it & am very impressed, & I had my doubts, but the yellow looks great. A big film in the UK in its day, so I'm happy it's getting a new lease of life & a new audience with this Blu-ray release. I hope the BFI has some great stuff planned for 2014.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I'm still waiting on my BD to arrive here. I will watch it immediately on my new LG-530 player.

Same here.
Very happy and thankful to have this in HD now. One of my favorite discs of the year- in a year that was packed with fantastic releases.

 

[Robert Crawford]

My BD of this film has finally arrived today!

Watch out for film newbie Michael Caine in a scene towards the end of the film. Did anyone mention Janet Munro flashing her er assets in one scene? plus it's a classic bit of British sci-fi. Would make an interesting double bill with Crack in the World (1965).

Fantastic transfer, great film. Highly recommended.

Yup, watched my BD this morning.

There's lots of sentimental connections for me in this movie, because I worked as a Feature Writer for Britain's major news-agency The Press Association (which also owned Reuters) in the late 1960s - early 1970s ... headquarters were at 85 Fleet Street, right at the heart of the movie! Great days but I don't remember summer ever getting quite so hot.

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

I just watched this today on my new multi-region player and it's a terrific disc. Very happy to have it.
