Title Best
Enemy at the GatesR2UK

    The Region 1 version of this disc misses out on;

  • DTS Soundtrack
  • Cast and crew biographies

   The Region 4 version of this disc misses out on;

  • French Dolby Digital 2.0 surround-encoded soundtrack

    Given how hard this film pummels the average sound system, and how absurd this film would sound in French, there is no contest here at all. Region 4 wins due to the enveloping, crushing DTS soundtrack, not to mention the lack of 3:2 pull-down artefacts and the superior resolution of PAL, all three of which are essential features.

Addendum December 6, 2001: It has since come to my attention that the UK R2 version of this disc features a commentary track by director Jean-Jacques Annaud. While I have yet to hear any specific news about the censorship status of this title, it appears that this may well be the best version of Enemy At The Gates at this time.

Addendum February 14, 2002: It appears that the R2 UK version of this film also features a third documentary, a poster gallery, storyboards, and a full-bitrate DTS soundtrack. It has been reported that the R2 UK version does suffer some posterization, but this still tips the scales a fair bit towards the Region 2 version.
