And based on the same book, so not really a remake.Surely you prefer The Magnificent Seven to that obscure Japanese rubbish?

I don't do remakes.
I suppose we could count things like Ben Hur or the Maltese Falcon? Criterion blu-ray... oh if only. I don't believe there is such a thing as a multi region player for blu. And Criterion do lock to A apparently.
Don't think they're available in the UK. I think some of the top end Panasonics can be chipped, but it's confusing because if you search for "Multi-region Blu-Ray Player" you get a lot of results, but they're all multi-region DVD/locked Region B on Blu.
Just added Get Carter & The Long Good Friday to my queue.
Get Carter...started off slow and really took a while to get going, but redeemed itself in the end. 4/5
