Thanks.

In some cases I wonder if the subtitles are already forced on the print they are transferring from, meaning they will be "forced" no matter what.
If it plays in Region 1 and has an English track (and no American release in sight) I'll order that. Going to do the same for Gremlins and Goonies as well.
