Definitey interested in Let The Right One In. That should be getting a BluRay release soon.

There is a US Blu-ray coming out on the 10/03/09 (a month before it finally hits UK cinemas) and hopefully it will be region free. It's also coming out on Blu-ray in Scandinavia a week before that.

My film of the year by far.

I thought "There Will Be Blood" was 2007?

None the less it is a really really good film

I have one of those br's and heard of one other - but all the rest mean absolutely nothing to me (and not being a fan, I certainly wont be buying a Steve McQueen movie)

You beat me, I own Wall-E and have never heard of the rest.
(and the only Steve McQueen I know has been dead for many years)

That's what I was thinking.

Hunger was one of the most boring films that I seen this year, I wouldn't watch it again if I was paid to.
