Paris, Texas! I am so happy. I love that movie and was worried it wouldnt show up for a long time. Thanks for the news.

I was about to give up hope and order Paris, Texas in the R2 release - glad I waited. Thanks for the GREAT news!

Thanks for the great news!

Der Zorn Gottes

I was hoping for a Criterion.

If any of the titles in Fox's non-foreign catalogue are Criterion material, its (was?) Paris, Texas.

Anchor bay put out the region 2 dvd. It has commentary by wim wenders, deleted scenes, outtakes, footage from cannes, trailer, photo gallery & a 5.1 track.

I'm betting the fox disc will not have any of those features.
Too bad they couldn't work it out with anchor bay to release the dvd here...

Glad it's finally being released, in any case. I can cross another one off my dwindling list of awaited R1 releases. Actually, two - hooray for Silver Streak.

yah!

Likewise, glad I waited.

I had the opposite reaction when I read the barebone specs for the R1. I went ahead a bought the PAL Anchor Bay. It's a shame the film is not getting better treatment in the US.

I was hoping for a Criterion release of this, but the extremely low price by Fox is very nice (as long as the transfer is good) - even if it's barebones.
