Wow, probably only 2 I would even consider buying. That's quite a poor selection to be honest.

3 for me, many have been done on Dtheatre already though . Will try FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, ERAGON and SENTINEL as I haven't seen them. Was hoping for a bit more, guess they are trying to keep up with Universal then

Agreed - I should imagine European BluRay owners would have expected/wanted a bit more TBH - especially as Fox region lock all their movies.

You're doing better than me! I wouldn't buy a single one (even if I didn't have 2 already!)

Re: FOX, second Blu-ray wave for Europe.

All of these have either been released in the US already or have release dates, apart from Day After Tomorrow, Eragon and Night At The Museum (which has a tentative date of 20/03/2007 in the US).
So apart from a few more titles which have been announced in the US, I don't see how the UK releases differ from that of the US (in poorness or greatness that is).

Re: FOX, second Blu-ray wave for Europe.

I'd only be interested in Terminator and Speed and even then I wouldn't call those must haves. Much more interested in Kingdom in Heaven and Casino Royale.

Kingdom Of Heaven is already out in the UK. Casino Royale is being released in March by Sony.

Re: FOX, second Blu-ray wave for Europe.

Didn't realise that - haven't got any BD hardware right now anyway. Still a two month wait for the PS3...
