Title Best
DrumlineR1

    The Region 1 disc was released some time back (over a year ago). It is a full-blown special edition; heck, they got both full-screen and wide-screen versions. That's a big contrast to the bare-bones disc that we get in Region 4.

    The Region 4 disc is missing:

  • director's commentary
  • 10 deleted scenes (with commentary)
  • BET special: making of Drumline (21:40)
  • 2 music videos
    • I Want a Girl Like You  (4:05)
    • Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)  (4:30)
  • soundtrack promo
  • trailer: Antwone Fisher

    The Region 1 disc is missing:

  • nothing

    That makes it pretty clear which is the richer disc. And these are not trivial extras — the commentary is a decent one, and the director (Charles Stone III) imparts a lot of information, including the fact that he is a drummer from way back (that would be kinda handy on this film!). The transfer on both discs is excellent, although I think there might be one or two visual artefacts on the R1 that aren't on the R4.

    Gotta give this one to the Region 1. If you only want the movie, then the R4 will do, but if you want the whole package, then the R1 is the only way to go.
