Certainly. There's now 20 BTW. ;) :crazy:

From top left going down there's
US blu-ray from Anchor Bay
German blu-ray with no distributor at all. Looks genuine and bought from Amazon.de
French blu-ray, titled "Le Jour Des Morts-Vivants" from SPHE

Then back up to the top, working down for the DVDs
Australian Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-9 from Umbrella
Austrailan Non-Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-5 from Force Entertainment
German Non-Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-5 from Laser Paradise (Heavily cut)
English Non-Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-5 from Arrow Video
A glorious Austrian 2 disc Ultrasteel edition with lenticular front Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-9 from XT-Video
English 2 disc Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-5 from Arrow Video
Greek disc bought from ebay. Poor bootleg of the US Divimax. Distributed by Silver Media Group.:pound:
Dutch Non-Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-5 from Noble Entertainment
US Non-Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-5 flipper from Anchor Bay
English full screen DVD-5 from Arrow Video
German Non-Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-5 from Laser Paradise (Heavily cut)
US Divimax Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-9 from Anchor Bay
Italian 2 disc "Il Giorno Degli Zombi" Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-9 from Alan Young/Mondo Home Entertainment
French "Le Jour des Morts Vivants" full screen DVD-5 from DVDY Films
Japanese Anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD-9 from Happinet
And finally another gorgeous Austrian 2 disc Steelbook with clear slipcover from XT-Video.

And not in the picture is the UK Arrow blu-ray.

Edit : Oooh, there's a Japanese disc on ebay that puports to be a extremely rare producer's cut. That's new to me. I've never heard of a producers cut of Day. Looks like my collection might be increasing. :crazy: :loco:

My favourite of the Dead films as well. I have always felt Night and especially Dawn to be a little overrated.

What do i know though as i love Land, Diary and Survival also.

All terrific films and Re-Animator gets my vote too.

I had a tough time deciding between Day of the Dead and Re-Animator, but Re-Animator gets the nod from me.

I'd have to add Demons and Phenomena to my other favourites from 1985: Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead and Re-Animator.Both are excellent examples of quality mid-80s Italian horror.

DEMONS, PHENONEMA, RE-ANIMATOR, DAY OF THE DEAD

Day of the Dead & Silver Bullet

Day of the Dead. Easy choice. Savini's effects, the acting and the direction make it a masterpiece.

Demons
Return of the Living Dead

Demons

Fun Gore and Tony The Pimp
