@bluraymaniac

I saw your BD collection, a few notes

Das Boot - original uncut version is 280 min which is only available in uncut DVD, BD has 78 min less, thats why I will never buy the BD

Dances with wolves - UK release is edited while the US release is uncut

Chariots of Fire - UK release is poor, US release is excellent, fortunately in India you will get the US release for less than amazon US

Psycho - quite an amazing transfer, razor sharp, perhaps comes in top 10 B/W BD

The Longest Day - buy it from India, amazing transfer, a truly great film

Bridge on the river Kwai - below par transfer, its a waste

Cleopatra - in amazon UK its a steal, hard to belief its a film from 60's, such amazing transfer along with excellent DTS

Could not resist to add more information on Das Boot... so jumped in.

Now, Das Boot was initially filmed for a little over 6 hours and then later edited to fit in several releases over time. There are many versions of the movie released in several formats and at different times starting from 1981 to 2010.

The version in question was released initially as a 6 part 50 minutes Mini-Series presented on TV and later was released on DVD known as the "Das Boot: The Original Uncut Version".

Now, buying the Blu-ray edition is one's own thought but once watched on Blu-ray, one would never want to go back to the DVD. The Original Uncut Version on DVD can be had as an addition to one's collection.

A small list of different releases of the film.
150 minutes (1981, 1982) Theatrical
209 minutes (1981) unreleased
300 minutes (1984, 1988) BBC mini-series
293 minutes (2004) Das Boot: The Original Uncut Version
208 minutes (1997, 2010) Director's Cut

Thanks bro...

You may even try at Planet M and Sapna Book Stores.
I had picked up a few from Planet M and many titles from Sapna, they had 25% off on titles which were priced at 799.

Buying Indian Blu-ray's, I encountered only one problem... the extra content which is available in the US/UK editions are more compared to the Indian ones. They strip out many of the content from the disc. Its just the pricing after discount which made it more feasible to buy otherwise even I purchase from the US/UK.

 

[manny9]

Thanks will check, but generally I prefer getting it from US/UK one of the reason you mentioned. Also I like the UK blu ray boxes...the one we get in India feels little cheap plastic. But since I was getting these movies for 500 bucks couldn't resist.

Just wanted to check if they have separate cut for the movies in India? Due to censor board regulations? Or the movie is the same in US and UK?

[saketb]

bluraymaniac, that is so beautiful and looks like a must have. Thanks for the pictures of the back as well.

Great purchase indeed!!

Worried about your amazon purchases, still not showed up??? Was it sent through Royal Mail or DHL Post? Cause DHL takes pretty long time something near to 10-15 days... but Royal Mail shows up within a weeks time.

thanks the book let is awesome with great pics from all movie , and one good looking box one problem the disc holding is very weak , i mean all 9 cases one sided are joined by cello tape same as UK case , which sucks, not regular cello tapes but the special one .even USA packing is poor which doesn't give holder by slot of paper like this where booklet is , and u put disc there which may scratch the disc in long term.overall i guess all packaging sucks

edit actually the back part is removable and easily attachable , no gum .

ya even crossbow parcel hasn't showed up he ordered on 20th august . mostly should get by this month , sometimes parcel take 35 to 40 days to show.
