Format:Blu-ray
I live in Australia - this first movie of Baz Luhrman's has not yet been released on Blu-Ray in it's home country with no Blu-ray release date in sight as yet.
I love this movie which is why I decided not wait until a local Blu-Ray release.
The picture quality is only marginally better than my DVD copy & as per another review , the sound is only Dolby Digital 5.1 not DTS-HD as per the Blu Ray label.
My copy appears to be the ITV label release not Fox as per the Blu-Ray cover & label - so appears Fox have used the same transfer as the previous Blu-Ray release by ITV which I have heard was not the best.
So I do feel a tad cheated with this current copy - come on Fox, please give this Aussie classic the treatment it so rightly deserves - I have Blu-ray copies of Baz's other movies - Romeo+ Juliet, Moulin Rouge & Australia which ar far superior

Format:Blu-ray
I waited with anticipation for this release, having only owned the old Carlton dvd version a few years ago. I bypassed the previous blu ray version, as there were a few negative reviews and was deleted. First of all the Blu ray disc itself has DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (which is superior) written on it, and the actual 5.1 sound offered is only Dolby Digital! Then on the back of the box the description of the contents say it includes `Samba to Slow Fox' the Australian documentary that inspired the film. I have gone to the menu and can't find it anywhere! Where is the commentary that appeared on previous releases abroad? As for the picture, there is an improvement compared to my old dvd version. This truly wonderful film deserves so much more than this rushed shoddy release!! Wake up 20th Century Fox, especially after the care taken on Blu ray of Baz's 2 other Red Curtain productions, Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge!
Ps. I have also sent a complaint on the 20th Century Fox website.

a movie for the dance enthusiast's library
4 Dec 2006
This is one of my favorite dance movies. It is funny, features some really terrific dance scenes, a fun plot, and great costumes! I don't want to add spoilers...but the story takes place somewhere down under at and around a ballroom dance school. There are so many unforgettable fantastic scenes! This movie is one that I enjoy watching again and again, only to discover something else I hadn't noticed before. The cast are terrific and it is just a total keeper of a film!

why no Region A/1 release???
27 Nov 2011
Format:Blu-ray
5 stars for the movie. No stars for no Region A/1 release. Hopefully there will be Region A/1 release soon so I can upgrade the rating to match the movie,

15 Sep 2009
Treat for the eyes, the ears, the funny bone and the heart. This movie is fresh, original, hilarious and so tender and touching. The mother made me laugh til I cried!! And Scott...ooooooohhhh. Yes, a Cinderella story but those continue to be popular because we all need them to be true!!! Stays in the tradition of GREAT Aussie films!! Strictly Ballroom is Strictly Brilliant!!
