reasons i like having an all-region dvd player...

Alistare Cooke's America, the great PBS series from the early 1970s, is only available as a Region-2/PAL dvd in England.  There is no American (Region-1/NTSC) release, and appearantly no plans to make one, in spite of multiple on-line petitions to do so.

Also available in England already is the 2-disc special edition for Pocahontas, though I know that the American release will be coming soon so I'm not likely to pick that up.  (On the other hand, the Brits haven't yet had a release of Dumbo on DVD, nor of Pirates of the Caribbean.  go fig)

What about Song of the South?

seems to be already out of print. UK and DE have out-of-print videotapes on their record books, with 1-2 week delays (meaning they probably can't get them after all).

In Germany, its called Uncle Remus's Wonderland.

I thought I saw a dvd for it a few months back, but I guess not.
