Paul McGann's 2004 film In My Father's Den is one of the best Kiwi movies ever made, and one of the best films of 2004. It ranks with Once Were Warriors, Heavenly Creatures, The Piano. Winner at Toronto International and several other prominent fests - alas, it isn't available in the US except as an import from R2 or R4. Highly recommend this title.
Also available in Region B is the BBC production of Bleak House, certainly worth a view. Criterion is also preparing its first BD releases.
For these BDs, as well as Master & Commander, Goodfellas, The Searchers, Pride & Prejudice, Great Epectations (Lean), Black Narcissus and several others, I'm going to have to get a BD player, one that converts PAL>NTSC.
