Becket on DVD


I have been trying unsuccessfully to get this film on DVD, for about two years. I understand, from a couple of other websites, that it was in release on DVD for a short time in May of 2003, but I was unable to find it, even then.
If anyone has any information about this, I would appreciate the input. I can't believe that a film this good should be lost to two new generations of movie fans.

I haven't watched it yet; I am about to pop it in the player.

I've ordered mine, just have to wait for it to be posted to Aus! Can't wait to watch it again!

Woohoo! Just got mine and I'm firing up the equipment to watch it!

I received my DVD of it today and it's awesome, remastered and vivid! :) I watched the DVD listening to Peter O'Toole's commentary... what a treat! Now I have to watch it all over again!

Are there any subtitles on the DVD? (Region 2)

I enjoyed this film. The DVD wasn't spectacularly cleaned up! The acting by the 2 leads is superb. The film has some very dark humour, and some very naughty lines. Like, when after a night of debauchery, Henry's butt hurts, and Beckett tells him he's lucky that is all!!! :) I love the french chick with the 1964 haircut. Not a perfect film, but very very good and entertaining! O'Toole amazes me - how different from Lawrence this is - how he uses his voice.
