To compliment Brandon Conway's thorough work on the USA only thread (Shouldn't it also include Canada?), I'm making an alternate thread for those who'd like to keep track of releases of titles on Blu-ray of which are before the 1990's. Hopefully I'll keep track of all the various titles! There are even several which better the USA counterpart and others released in other countries first.
So if anyone would like to help out, I'd be more than willing to add titles. Just be sure to list the title, which country it's from, the year of original theatrical release and of course Regional coding. Now wish me luck in keeping up with titles. (Alot of various people do know I enjoy making lists!)
Below here will be the lists but this is just a placeholder for now. I'll be looking on that region coding site which lists titles. Should we also state the company which release the particular title in question?
