Of course there
could be a problem with the DVD.
For instance I bought the Italian BD of Leone's GIU LA TESTA. Same code as here in Germany of course. I watched it. Love that film

.
Two weeks I wanted to check a scene and it refused to play! Said 'wrong region code!' I took it to a friend - same issue!
Yesterday I tried again - and it played... Gives you headaches really.
Robert, I appreciate your enthusiasm. In case you are rich: just invite me to Florida and I'll bring you STRAW DOGS + dozens of hours of footage on Sam Peckinpah that will make your heart cheer with joy

Well, make sure to get ALFREDO GARCIA (Twilight Time Blu-ray USA) before it is sold out. THey have only a 3000 printing. They released CHRISTINE on BD (I'm into vintage cars a lot), I missed it and now they charge 100.- or whatever at Amazon. Crazy

GARCIA is my first deal with America since MAJOR DUNDEE (DVD in 2005). It is a difficult market, unfortunately. With the majors it is very tough to make dealy, certain films one can't even locate the rightholders. And there's is still the issue to learn about planned releases in time! Sometimes I learn about a release and it is too late.
AND LET'S NOT FORGET - HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM !
