I've checked the list here but these titles aren't listed. Can anybody confirm whether or not these titles will play/not play on a UK Blu-Ray player?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Planet of the Apes
Phone Booth
Rocky Balboa
Running With Scissors
Stranger than Fiction

All of those are Fox and Sony release, who I believe so far have region coded all releases. I may stand corrected but I think you will need to UK releases if you have a UK player

Top 3 are Fox, so they definitely won't work. Bottom 3 are Sony new releases so there's a good chance they won't work either. Stranger Than Fiction and Running With Scissors both have a region A mark on the back of their boxes as well.

As soon as the UK PS3 is released I'll be able to test a vast majority of the US and Japanese releases for region coding – which should hopefully be of use to some.
