Title Best
Josie and the PussycatsR1

    The Region 1 DVD is missing:

  • German and Italian Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks
  • lots of subtitle tracks

    The Region 4 DVD is missing:

  • English dts 5.1 soundtrack
  • French Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack
  • Commentary by directors and producer
  • Production Notes
  • Cast and Filmmakers
  • DVD-ROM features

    The Region 1 video transfer is very slightly softer than the Region 4, and has far fewer artefacts, although it still shows a little aliasing. The Region 1 layer change is at least as good as the Region 4 - it is placed at the end of a scene, looking at a closed door, and is pretty much invisible.

    I found it interesting that the Region 1 version starts with the Universal logo, then the MGM lion (which morphs into one of Dujour's fans screaming), while the Region 4 disc has MGM first, then Universal. The morph is rather cool - shame the R4 misses out.

    The Region 4 version is OK, and this is hardly a classic film, so you could do worse than get the Region 4. On the other hand, if you're a huge fan, then the Region 1 version is easy to recommend, complete with dts soundtrack.
