I own the Studio Canal BD of The Elephant Man, and it is a superb release, but don't own the UK BD of Eraserhead - I'm personally holding out for the Criterion edition, as I am pretty certain that it will be a better release. |
Thanks for that. I think I'll pick up The Elephant Man and maybe consider getting the boxset for Eraserhead. I'm assuming a Criterion will be region locked and expensive. For all it's faults I really like Dune so I'd be able to upgrade that too if I go with the boxset.
