Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Picked up Hugo on Blu. Also I added: Planet Earth, The Social Network and Where the Wild Things Are to my collection.

The other week, five of my orders from the Barnes & Nobel Criterion sale arrived and they are:

Anatomy of a Murder
Battle of Algiers
My Life as a Dog
Rosemary's Baby
World on a Wire

All Blu-rays.

Oh and I picked up on Hugo on Blu-ray yesterday.

Added:

The Alien Anthology blu-ray set.

Added:

The Last Temptation of Christ, the Criterion Blu-Ray.

Added another Blu-Ray:

Hero

The Three Colors Trilogy (Criterion)

Added two more Blu-rays:

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Rango

My Criterion Blu-Rays finally arrived! In addition to the ones I listed below I also got:

Fanny & Alexander (both the TV and the theatrical cut)
The Music Room
Walkabout

Massive bargain bin haul - none of these over $7.00:
"Somewhere in the Night" (Mankiewicz)
"The Day of the Locust" (Schlesinger)
"49th Parallel" (Archers)
"Black Narcissus" (Archers)
"Brief Encounter" (Lean)
"The Silver Fleet" (Sewell & Wellesley)
"The Way Ahead" (Reed)
^ all blind-bought

also "Pierrot le fou" (Godard) which I already owned but lent to someone who never returned it. At $2.97 a bargain anyway.

Also blind-bought online:
"Travellers" (Beyzai)
and three Kira Muratova films - "Passions", "The Tuner", "Two in One"

Already seen these, bought them online:
"The Closed Doors" (Hetata)
"A Piece of Sky" (Liénard)

Yes, one can.

Yes and no.

Most blu-ray players are locked to their respective regions.

In some cases they can play only DVD's from a particular region (e.g. North American Region A Blu-Ray player can only play region 1 DVD).

However some Blu Ray players may be region locked for Blu Ray but are multi-region for DVD playback only.

It just depends on what you buy.

Can one play a regular DVD on a Blu-Ray player?

I've added two more Blu-Rays:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

and

Beauty and the Beast (1946) (Criterion)

I finally bought a Blu-ray player today. And picked up one Blu-ray disc. I planned to pick up two but none of the lower priced Blu-rays were titles I wanted to buy, some not just yet so I picked up one that's a bit more expensive and that is The Thing.

This has a great performance by Diana Dor.

I just ordered "The Light That Failed", "Little Man, What Now?" and "Yield to the Night" on DVD.
