Despite some ups and downs over the last the few months, the resilient Australian dollar has continued to defy economists and attempts at intervention alike, flirting just below parity with the U.S. dollar.
As such, this puts the appeal of importation on the cards of Australian Blu-ray fans and in this latest entry in the series, we will therefore take a look at the best overseas Blu-ray releases which haven't yet made their way to our shores. As always, the following discs are region safe for local region B Blu-ray players.
The Terminal

Studio: Paramount Home Entertainment
Country of Origin: United States
Purchase: Amazon.com

Not all of Director Steven Spielberg's 35 theatrical films have gone on to become instant classics - for every Indiana Jones, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Schindler's List there's misfires such as 1941, Hook and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But somewhere in the middle, there's a small collection of underappreciated features which are ripe for re-discovery, one of which includes 2004's The Terminal.
When a military coup in his home country of origin renders his passport invalid, Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) is unable to leave either the United States, or the airport, Viktor must eke out an existence in the confines of the terminal. The touching story is restored beautifully on Blu-ray, with a stunningly filmic 1080p transfer, including around an hour's worth of featurettes and behind the scenes material.
