This is going to be beautiful!

This is the type of movies we need to see more on BD. For me personaly I will not buy it as it's truly not a favorite of mine. I wish however I could see it in HD.

KubrickFan · 12-10-2009, 05:43 PM

I'm sure the movie itself will look good, but it's too bad Warner didn't opt for the original poster art. This looks more like a promotion for a remake, not something to promote the David Lean classic.
In any case, I'm sure the Blu-ray will be a great introduction for many people towards the movie, even for me. Somehow I never watched this movie, but since it's Lean we're talking about, it will be good.

Ive seen the movie several times ove the years. It has a beautiful music score and powerful performances by the actors including Alec Guiness! Im looking forward to adding this to my collection.

The girl's boyfriend has an annoying speaking voice, though.

"Can she play? Why, she's an artist!"

Groovy stuff! Can't wait!

davcole · 12-11-2009, 12:44 AM

I hope this gets released sooner than later.

Far and away my favorite David Lean film. I love the story of the Russian Revolution told through the eyes of Zhivago and Lara characters.

Also happens to be my favorite Maurice Jarre.

GOAT · 12-11-2009, 12:59 AM

im intrested... I see there is not even a DVD available on netflix!

Hep · 12-11-2009, 01:02 AM

I'm not sure how I've missed seeing this movie over the years; but it's Lean, so I foresee yet another blind buy in my future.

jc480 · 12-11-2009, 02:48 AM

My h8 for digibooks will be overcome by the desire to add this title to my library!

Dominay · 12-11-2009, 03:37 AM

Definitely upgrading for this. Though I find the Julie Christie theme very annoying. And I was disheartened to hear that this is Chief Justice John Roberts' favorite film (just kidding).

MTRodaba2468 · 12-11-2009, 04:52 AM

I'll definitely be upgrading.

TylerDurden · 12-11-2009, 04:56 AM

Whats the release date?

Blu Titan · 12-11-2009, 05:01 AM

I have never seen this movie, but I will see it now.

rkolinski · 12-11-2009, 05:33 AM

This is a MUST OWN for me even though I prefer the original poster art (I own the original poster & lobby card set). Although this movie isn't as true to the book as the much longer BBC version, I still think this is among the best that David Lean directed!

smith1921 · 12-11-2009, 08:17 AM

can't wait for this just wish i was not a digibook

You mean "Lara's Theme" - one of the most famous pieces of music in movie history?

Ah well...

Pyoko · 12-11-2009, 10:04 AM

Does anyone know if this will be in Warner's 8K restoration line like Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz and North by Northwest?

Even if it isn't 8K I'm hoping it'll at least be a brand new transfer with similar picture quality.
