The Exorcist is well worth picking up on blu ray. There's a huge difference in terms of picture quality. Plus you get both versions of the film, the FULL Fear of God doc, new documentaries and all the usual commentaries and stuff. It's marvellous.

Nightmare on Elm Street is also worth picking up on BR...especially at that price. I paid £25 for it at Xmas and don't regret paying that.

Don't worry, I'm (probably) not going to buy that one again!

I should really put all my Exorcist things together and put a photo in the Show Us Yours thread.

Definitely, I'd be genuinely interested to see all the different versions you have of it. Is it just the first one you have multiple versions of, not the sequels?

I'm very much looking forward to revisiting this in HD over the next few weeks, along with watching the sequels and prequels (the prequels being the only ones I haven't seen)

I only have multiple versions of The Exorcist as I don't rank the prequels at all, but do own Exorcist 2: The Heretic and two versions of Exorcist III.

Im glad I picked up the US digibook of Exorcist!
Its a awesome version.

I wanted that as I love the look of digibooks. I take it the content is identical?

Exorcist III is an incredible film! I don't mind part II despite it being an unwatchable mess!
The prequels are pretty dire and are simply forgettable despite the huge amount of talent that went into them.

I bought the all region US blu ray of THE EXORCIST a long time ago and the only difference is. and why I bought this bd in the first place, is
a book which I don't think is included in the UK bd

all extras are the same

I think I paid about a fiver, brand new delivered for the Exorcist BD from a seller on eBay, well worth it. My sister bought me the NOES set for Xmas and that too is a great set, loads of special features

When you say 2 versions of Exorcist 3 do you mean 2 copies or two different cuts? It'd be interesting to see another cut cos I've only seen the region 1 dvd version.

Yup exactly the same discs.

I git the BD of True Romance from the Play sale at £4.99; thought that was the right price to pay;)

I've had The Exorcist BD since release, and ignored the Fear of God doc as I assumed it was the cut version:eek::lol: I was p*ssed off that the awesome Mercedes McCambridge interview was missing from the DVD version.

I mean two different copies: the R1 US DVD and R2 German DVDs -- it's a title which I'd love to be given a fully remastered Blu-ray release with a new commentary by Blatty, retrospective interviews/documentaries and whatever else there is in the way of supplementary material.

I think blatty was very unhappy with the cut that was released and because the excised footage from his initial cut is supposed to be "lost" I'd imagine he'd object to being involved with any subsequent release of the film.

It's sad and we have the same person to blame for this as we do for the NIGHTBREED debacle: James G. Robinson, the head of Morgan Creek. That and the fact that both films were released originally by 20the Century Fox in the US but have since become part of the Warner Bros. library. I can't think of many more films that are as worthy of revisiting as EXORCIST III and NIGHTBREED, it's such a shame.

I've read/heard the same as you: Blatty was unhappy with some scenes which were removed and the exorcism sequence which was imposed on him o in order o make it a 'Exorcist' film, rather than Legion.

As such, it would be great to see him given carte blanche and all the relevant film stock to to make Exorcist III: The Director's Cut which could be released on DVD with a commentary or lengthy interview with Blatty to explain the changes from the theatrical version.

Fingers crossed, hope springs eternal, good things come to those who wait etc etc...

Yeah, never say never, I know. At least we know they'd sell a minimum of two copies :)

Given it's connection to Exorcist and that it's written and directed by Blatty, a revised version would be an extremely easy sell for WB's marketing folk. I'm sure there was talk a few years ago of Mark Kermode being on the case of helping locate the missing footage. Maybe this is a question someone needs to ask him at his next Q&A.

Make that 3, I absolutely adore Exorcist III!

and me! *waves* :clap:

"is it bedtime?"

Me 4 ... love E3 ... one of the finest horror movies of the 90s!:coolblue:

And me, the book is good too. :nod:

I'm a big fan of Exorcist III as well. I saw it on the big screen when it was first released and it was very unsettling. I would love to see a reconstruction of Blatty's original vision, but Warners of late seem uninterested in restoring their older films. But a restored Exorcist III and Nightbreed would be great, if possible. I'd also like to see Kevin Yagher's original vision of Hellraiser 4: Bloodline, but I doubt that would be possible now.

The workprint is the closet we'll ever see to Yagher's version of Hellraiser: bloodline.

And the lobster is the cooker.

Yay! Metaphysical surrealist humour! :lol:

Amazon.co.uk: Special Offers on DVD & Blu-ray

£5 off anything on eBay when paying with paypal, use the code CUKFB1 at checkout! Not sure how long it will last though, so I'd hurry.
Picked up Kill List using the code for £4.

EDIT: ALL GONE! Please don't try and use it then blame me when it doesn't work :P

Thanks! Just used it to get The Mist for £1!
:lol:
Yeah should have used it for something a little more so I can get it for good price but meh could not find anything else.

Thanks! Picked up Anti-Clock for £1.18.

Thanks man, got the original Friday the 13th for £3!

Good call. Picked up the Shameless dvd The Beast in Space for £2.88 as it's always fairly pricey everywhere

Cheers! Didn't fancy buying anything pricey as there's too much coming out over the next few months. It was a struggle to find anything I wanted cheap enough! Ended up with Enter The Dragon for £1.99.

Been meaning to get that ever since Warners gipped me by not replacing it in the DVD 2 BLU programme.

Nice one - just bought the MoC Repo Man for £10.89.

I've used eBay for about ten years and I've never seen a promo code for it before. Where'd you get that?

And DAMN not seeing that Sherlock lightning deal till now...!!!!

Cheers, grabbed The Funhouse blu ray for just over a fiver! :)

Great, just waited for an item for finish ending so put in my max bid taking into account I'd get £5 off and it didn't work. An error note pops up to say it's run out of funds or something along those lines. Dagnammit!

I was up at 7 this morning and could have bought something else straight away when it was still working... ggrrrrrrrr :(

My friend had a similar message this morning too - guess the promo is over now.

I've been using eBay for almost ten years and have never had a promo code before. Let's hope this is something that crops up more often now.

I've had a couple before but the last one must have been at least 4 or 5 years ago. I remember it well as I grabbed the Close Encounters BD box for about £4 with it.

Be nice if they did it more often. Maybe they're trying to generate more business. I know it's a huge marketplace but it's really overrun with expensive business sellers in some categories and on another site I sell on I've really noticed a sharp drop over the past couple if months.

Damn wanted to use it for a 2nd time! :lol:

Here you Demons and Demons 2 Steelbook fans, cheapest I've seen it online
Demons 1 & 2 BD Steelbook

:clap:

Nice spot. Ordered.

Shame the standard blu's are in a black box rather than all my nice whitebox Arrow blu's. I'd have liked to keep a nice long shelf full of Arrow whiteboxes.

Guess this and the ROTLD might be the start of a steelbook slippery slope.

ignore - I got confused :(
