In terms of PQ, everybody swears the current transfer is adequate, which it probably is, but I think there's enough room for improvement and the odds of MGM coming up with a new master is slim to none. As for Mad Max, the best I can hope for is awesome artwork so I'll have an excuse to get rid of that cumbersome metalpak Warner dreamt up. Other than that, good luck getting Mel Gibson to give an interview.

While both movies look and sound about as good as I'd expect them to on their North American Blu-ray releases, EFNY is barebones and Mad Max's extras aren't great IMO.
It's true that EFNY does have that "stellar" DVD release (which I too still own) but it'd be nice for the completists and the newcomers to be able to get all that content on one shiny Blu-ray disc with an HD version of the film, along with whatever goodies Shout! can cook up. As for Mad Max, if by some miracle they could actually get Gibson and Miller to talk about the film then I'd buy it again.
