Doors, The

There have been two Region 1 releases of this film. The 1997 Live Entertainment release featured no extras and a letterboxed (non-anamorphic) video transfer. This was followed by a special edition release by Artisan Entertainment (taken from the Laserdisc release) in 2001.

The Region 1 Artisan release misses out on:

Anamorphic transfer

The Region 4 release misses out on:

Director's Commentary track
The Road of Excess Documentary (around 45 minutes)
Deleted Scenes
Cast and Crew Filmographies
Production Notes
Theatrical Trailer
Cinematographic Moments (text based details of the cinematography)
Teaser Trailer

This is a difficult choice. The Region 1 release has a number of valuable extras, but the Region 4 version sports a superior 16x9 enhanced transfer of the main feature. Personally, I buy a DVD for the film rather than the extras. However if you want the extras (which are reportedly rather good) than you will have to settle for the inferior transfer of the Region 1 Artisan release - or buy both versions.
