In the UK, The Fifth Element is not available in the Blu-Ray format. Amazon will sell you the US Blu-Ray disc, but of course, our friends in the movie business have sold us broken Blu-Ray players that using digital restrictions malarkey, won't allow you to watch a US Blu-Ray disc. Even one legally purchased. TFE is one of my all time favourite films. Every time I think I might splurge on buying a PS3 to get watch HD movies with, I do a quick check to see if TFE is available. This may take some time. Of course, I can probably pop over to The Pirate Bay and download an HD version for free. After all, I've already bought the DVD, and Warner don't sell me it on Blu-Ray - why shouldn't I download it?
