pleasantly surprised to see this is coming to blu. one of Clint's finest but most underrated films in my opinion.

Cool film.

Prim · 03-25-2013, 09:30 PM

One of the few Eastwood films I haven't seen yet, on any format. Perhaps it is time.

Patient-X · 03-25-2013, 10:45 PM

One of my favourite Eastwood films.

Mr.Dig · 03-26-2013, 12:24 AM

Awesome news! Can't wait!

Sky_Captain · 03-26-2013, 01:28 AM

Best line in the whole film. NSFW

One of my favorite films in Eastwood and Bridges' respective oeuvres and my favorite Cimino. This one can't come soon enough. Also has a great Paul Williams' theme song, "Where Do I Go From Here?".

MikeyHitchFan · 03-26-2013, 06:56 PM

I'll buy it!

Millibar · 03-30-2013, 08:18 AM

Top,top film with one of my favourite unsung actors.

George Kennedy is terrific with a similar sense of gritty humour to his role in Cool Hand Luke

I will buy this even if its not region free. This may be the film that pushes me to have my CA751 chipped!

I noticed there is a placeholder for Thunderbolt & Lightfoot's U.S. release as being a Criterion Collection title. Can anyone verify the veracity of this? Does Criterion have the rights to T&L? If so, anybody know when we could expect it? Next year is its 40th anniversary.

This was an incorrect submission. It should be only a place holder

Pro-B

MikeyHitchFan · 06-18-2013, 07:32 PM

They confirmed to me via Facebook that this is coming Oct/Nov this year and the exact date will be announced.

I'm good for any region but I think it's Region B locked.

All 70's films ended like that.

Certainly early 70's films yep! I probably havent seen this film for about 20 years.

It was a downer all right, but I still like it because it felt RIGHT for the film. As somebody else mentioned, it was the 70s. I love that so many films back then would have downer endings and not be handcuffed by the studios desire for a happy ending. Look what happened to American Gigolo - an awesome film ruined by a tacked-on studio ending.

I love the downbeat 70s film endings. But this one really struck a chord - mind you, I was probably pretty young when I last saw this one!
