Hollywood Bollywood Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

jcar: Thanks to all who visited.

To solve the puzzle you had to use DVD region codes for each location in the movie title. The background image is found on almost all DVD packages and includes a number in the middle. For us here in the US a 1. We all receive our movies in different ways now, mostly without the packaging included this information so I'm sure the number of finders per year would continue to decline. I'm sure something else will show up here soon!

Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the location above, but is within a mile or two, plus or minus a little.

I was recently at the house of a co-worker who happens to be from India. I was not too surprised at the large movie collection, I have worked with him for some time and I know the love of movies, there are quite the movie discussions at work, but since most the discussions are about movies from Bollywood I just listen. But what did surprise me was the amount of movies from Hollywood, a few sampled below. As much as I wanted to borrow some and as much as he wanted to lend them to me, it would have been useless to try.

Cache is at:
47 [Russia House(1990)][Around the World in Eighty Days(1956]].[The China Syndrome(1979)][Out of Africa(1985) + 3][Midnight in Saint Petersburg(1996) - 3]

122 [Harry and Walter Go to New York(1976)][Brazil(1985)].[Good Morning, Vietnam(1987) + 1][California Suite(1978)][Philadelphia(1993) + 2]

Missing from his collection was my favorite and my first DVD purchased, Amadeus(1984). He will be seeing that movie soon, somehow!

Note: The above story is only partially true. Which parts are or are not will probably have no impact on solving this puzzle and finding the cache.

Parking may be found west of the cache.

Also my apologies if this has been done before elsewhere. I checked a lot of local puzzle caches I have not found and none appeared to use this method.
