There are presently two listings for "Two Hands" starring Heath Ledger and Bryan Brown, and I'm thinking that some of the studio and media information that I have should match one or both of these films in the database, but it does not.

First:  My info comes from the credits on the DVD.

This is what's indicated:

Opening Credits

Australian Film Finance Corporation, presents
a CML and Meridian Films Production

End credits:

Produced in association
with the premium movie partnership
for "SHOWTIME" Australia

SHOWTIME

This film was developed and produced with the
financial assistance of the
Australian film commission.

Developed with the assistance of
Film Victoria

International sales
Beyond Films

Then the artwork indicates

TVA Films (top spine)
Thriller 051345 (bottom spine)

Barnholtz Entertainment (back)
TVA Films (back)

Then the other listings in the database credit:

Mirimax Film Corp (studios block)

or

Boulevard entertainment (studios block)

What should I list for MY UPC version of the film?

Complicating things a bit further, the artwork for all three listings is different, as are the DiscIDs.

My DiscID:

439DD3E71FCA44D4 [TWO_HANDS]

Others in out database:

CC369F1729915635 - TWO_HANDS
3EE0CDF1CA08CCDF - TWO_HANDS

Based on the opening credits, the studios should be:

Australian Film Finance Corporation
CML or CML Films, whichever is their proper name.
Meridian Films

The MC is a little harder as I can't get a good look at the back of the case but, from what I can find, it was distributed by Miramax Home Entertainment here in the states.

As a side note, one of the two versions, that is listed as an R1 US release, isn't.  It has a ratings logo of '15' which is not a US rating.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Actually, should be Australian Film Finance, omitting Corporation, per the Rules.

Not in this case.  The rule says to omit the company sufix.  Since this seems to be part of the name, it should be entered as such.

I agree.  I was looking at this one a few months back and couldn't find an instance where Corporation was abbreviated after "Australian Film Finance".  It was always spelled out and used as part of the name.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

Correct - the company suffix in this case is either Ltd. or Pty. Ltd (see here) so the proper name is Australian Film Finance Corporation
