With new releases of current films I can understand region coding even if I think it is a bad idea.
With older films I think ALL releases should have no region coding and be playable by all players.
This is a smaller problem in big markets, USA, that will get a lot of titles published but elsewhere it would be great if catalog titles lacked region coding.

How many movies that are a bit older lack region coding?

I live in Sweden and will go Blu-ray this Christmas. :)

This one also outlines whether a BD is region free or not.
