Over the yaers I've collected quite a few French dvd's...
And recently I've started buying even more.

Here's some from my collection,not everything is English friendly btw.

Some awesome covers there for the French editions.

I have two of them.

I have tons of French disks (living France kinda helps lol), some really nice releases, sadly a lot of the Italian gems are non-English friendly.

Ah yes,not all are English friendly...I can imagine you picked up quite a few while in France.

These 2 come in a generic looking slipcase but inside...
Mill has the original Belgian poster artwork and is English friendly,Kill Baby Kill is not.

Great stuff b.

I was looking at picking up the Caltiki the other week actually, until I noticed it wasn't English friendly...

Yep the French one isn't English friendly...if I had known that the Italian Caltiki would be very hard to get one day,I would have picked up a few more at the time...they were 5 Euro at Kultvideo back then!

Superb cover it has too. I also love that cover for Lips of Blood.

With so many great films being released on BD in France, I thought it time that the territory gets its own dedicated thread and what better to kick off with than the classic 1974 Dracula from director Dan Curtis with Jack Palance - always a favourite of mine:

Release date is February 4th:
Dracula et ses femmes vampires [Blu-ray]: Amazon.fr: Jack Palance, Simon Ward, Nigel Davenport, Pamela Brown, Dan Curtis: DVD & Blu-ray

My copy of Wild Side's release of Night of the Demon arrived yesterday:
On an initial look the transfer looks absolutely amazing - no DNR visible and rich blacks and shadow detail. Clarity is outstanding and blows an already pretty good DVD out of the water.
The English DTS-HD Master track comes with fixed French subtitles BUT the really good news is that these can be turned OFF by using the down arrow key when you select the Audio Menu on your player. You cannot turn them off via the disc Top Menu though.
This is a beautiful box set which includes a booklet full of photos and posters from the film:
