Would love to get a copy of that in NTSC format some time. The only version I've managed to download over here has subtitles on it!! Apparently the Barnsley accent is too difficult to understand for North Americans. Pah. Flippin annoying trying NOT to read the subtitles; takes so much away from the film. I need my Canadian kids to watch it some day - to educate them in all things Barnsley!
I bought the Criterion Blu-Ray last month from amazon.ca - not a subtitle in sight (unless you need them) - kids loved it - otherwise I'd've binned their cats.
