Title Best
Straw DogsR1

    The Region 1 release of this movie has appeared in a couple of incarnations:

    The two disc (supposedly limited edition, but still available) Criterion release contains the following extra features:

  • Isolated audio score
  • Audio commentary with film expert Stephen Prince
  • Sam Peckinpah: Man of Iron documentary running for well over an hour
  • Interviews with cast and Crew
  • On Location: Dustin Hoffman documentary with Hoffman running for over twenty minutes
  • Theatrical Trailer
  • Television Spots
  • Sam Peckinpah letters
  • Two essays

    The single disc Region 1 Anchor Bay release is not anamorphically enhanced and contains no extra features. Nevertheless, the picture quality seems to be rated very highly.

    There is also a Region 0 PAL (FreMantle) release, which is anamorphically enhanced and contains the following extra features:

  • Audio commentary from Garner Simmons, David Weddle & Paul Seydor
  • Audio commentary from Katy Haber
  • Brief (seven minute) On Location documentary
  • Interviews with cast and crew running for over one hour
  • Isolated musical score
  • Theatrical Trailer
  • TV Spots
  • Radio Spots
  • Photo Gallery
  • Text information

    It's a tricky one this, but for collectors and fans of the film, by all accounts the Region 1 Criterion release would be the preferred choice due to the extensive extra features and overall transfer quality.
