a fistful of dollars and for a few dollars more special editions

they were only released in the uk. as pal releases and not the u.s., has anyone ever thought of doing an ntsc conversion would it be worth it?

I still think that Sergio Leone’s original vision should be preserved and these are much closer to his original directors cuts of the films.

Another director whose work i think should be given better treatment here in the states is akira kurosawa, the criterion releases while good are not as good as the remastered japan region 2 releases and I think these japan releases should be put on region 1 in some sort of project, and since they don’t have english subtitles anyone with knowledge of japanese could do a fansubtitle, or the subtitles and english audio commetary could be pulled from criterion to create a better version.

As an anime fan I would also like to see a preservation of the Yamato Films the way they were presented in japan on dvd and laserdisc, not the lame treatment given by voyager entertainment.
