Sorry for the late reply Rammy.Yeah I know its an overseas order service I use.I was lucky in getting it.Your HMV exclusive may have better extras.The other release date I had was the 4th of October.

This is the hmv exclusive Wonder Woman Steelbook I’ve pre-ordered

All hmv’s Wonder Woman blu-Ray releases & dvds are out on 9th October including a limited edition exclusive film book Blu-ray

Nice work bud,the box and artwork on yours looks better if I'm honest.Mine is the standard blu ray card/plastic box combo.

Just got another good one,Who's Affraid Of Virginia Wolf?(1966)£10 from McColl's.

Utterly absorbing verbal trade offs between Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor but the toxic games they play hide a deep heartbreak.

Extras :

Audio commentaries
Documentary
Art cards
Lobby cards

Picked up three good titles today that I recommend highly.

First off,My Life As A Courgette(2017)

£10 from Home Bargains.

A stop motion animated French/Swiss story about a boy sent to an orphanage following the death of his alcoholic mother.

Extras :

Introduction from Peter Lord(Aardman Animation)
Making of documentary
Featurettes

Another animated recommendation,The Red Turtle(2017)

I snapped this up at £10 from Granger Games.

A Studio Ghibli take on a nameless character that is basically Robinson Crusoe,who attempts to flee his desert island prison but is constantly stopped by the titular character.Disappointing extras but the film is brilliant.

Extras :

Featurette on writer/director Michaël Dudok de Wit

The third title I bought was Colossal(2017)

£8 from B & M Bargains

No extras at all unfortunately but still a great film with a terrific cevtrak performance from Anne Hathaway as an alcoholic trying to get her life back together whilst discovering that her inner struggle is connected to a giant monster that is attacking Seoul.

Snapped up Lord of the Flies(1963)only £8 from Home Bargains.

The definitive adaptation of William Golding's classic novel directed by Peter Brooks gets the full Criterion treatment in terms of extras and a beautifully restored transfer which makes the director's semi documentary shooting technique look even more effective.

Extras :

Audio commentary
Feauturettes
Deleted scenes
Essay

The other classic I picked up today and highly recommend was A Streetcar Named Desire(1951)

Got it from Granger Games for £6

Having already directed the Tennessee Williams play on stage,Elia Kazan had no problem adapting it for the big screen.Wonderful performances al round and as raw today as it was upon its first release.

Extras :

Audio commentary
Featurettes
Outtakes
Screen test
Collectable booklet

I highly recommend Wonder Woman, picked up the HMV Blu Ray Exclusive Steel Book.
The art work is stunning, there’s great image on the front and back and inside artwork too. Would have loved to have seen the steel book have a gloss finish, the front of steel book is embossed again over all stunning.
The picture quality a 1080p transfer and it looks stunning, colours deep and rich and it’s crystal clear very impressive 10/10 on the transfer.
Sound quality wise it’s stunning a 5.1/DTS-HD transfer & on a home cinema system it sounds stunning 10/10.

Extras

Epilogue: Etta’s Mission
Crafting The Wonder
A Director’s Vision
Warriors of Wonder Woman
The Trinity
The Wonder Behind The Camera
Finding The Wonder Woman Within
Extended Scenes
Alternate Scene Walk To No Man’s Land.
Blooper Reel

Plus you get a digital copy of the movie & you get two discs one for the 2D and one for 3D version of the movie so you getting your money’s worth with extras.
