I wonder if the US version will come with sub-titles?

As ctbuchanan mentioned, it actually does. I got quite a chuckle out of that, and my girlfriend found it very helpful.

I notice that on some American real life( in the USA) documentry type series------about allegator catchers for example------ that are shown on our British TV have subtitles these days, it is very handy on occasion!

The "Angel's Share" is available to watch free on-line from a few sites. An excellent movie, a bit "gritty" at the beginning but stick through it you'll be rewarded. The accents are a challenge if your ear isn't familiar with them.

Amazon is taking pre-orders for Blu-ray US release in August.

I would like to know what some of those streaming sites are, if you have any recommendations. As for the Glasgow accent, I have an awful time with it. Last time I was there, people thought me hard of hearing because I kept asking they repeat things, 'slowly.' Fun town, though.

I'm not telling you to use the following link. I'm not responsible for any virus you might get from it. I just provide a service you might get by google or bing...

Here I downloaded the film in compliance with swiss law. Only download or stream films if your law doesn't forbid such a thing.

If this is against forum rules please feel free to delete this reply.

I will buy the DVD/BD when I can find it for a reasonable price in the shops somewhere.

Some even have the subtitles here in the US.

I have the excuse of having served in the US Heavy artillery and having hearing problems, but, some regional accents need to come with subtitles for those of us who travel. However, since I am from out of town I assume it is me that has the accent.

I have a copy on the way from the UK and a player here to play it on. Can't wait, looks terrific.

Last Thursday and Friday I was in Portland, Oregon, for business. Thursday evening I was over to Powell's City of Books to see if they had anything to catch my fancy (if you're in Portland, be sure to check out Powell's and spend some time--it's not to be missed.) Anyway, a block down from the book store I passed an art theater. So I checked the marquee and sure enough, 'The Angel's Share' was playing in an hour! The theater was one of those that will serve and adult beverage and some more grown-up theater food, so, I was in. Thoroughly enjoyed the film (yes, it was subtitled!) It took about 45 minutes for my ear to adapt and not miss any dialogue. The movie had a lot of heart, the beginning was a bit rough and the kilted scenes fit in well. Quote: "nobody every gets mad at a guy in a kilt." Saw several scenes where I recognized the setting as where I'd been before. Hiding valuable whisky in plain sight in Irn Bru bottles got a laugh from me. Irn Bru is vile--like bubble gum flavored soda with a hint of quinine. Eeeww. I think I will pick up a copy of the DVD when it becomes available in the States this summer. I give it a thumbs up and recommendation to go see it if you have the chance.
