They've also released the Man With No Name Trilogy, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The French Connection.
IMO, the best of their Catalog releases have been MGM properties handled by Lowry, i.e. the Bond Films, but they have had other good releases or so i'm told(The Towering Inferno, The Sand Pebbes).
IIRC, there was some controversy about the Patton release having not been viewed until too late in the process after an over-zealous encoding engineer turned the dial to 11. As their Catalog titles continue to come out, it seems more likely that the engineers are either inconsistent in their quality control or Fox is not taking as much care of their releases as they should. This release certainly screams of a hyperactive encoder making the film look "better."
