This touching drama about an autistic savant and his younger brother which won 4 Academy Awards for Best Picture, Directing, Original Screenplay and Actor (Dustin Hoffman), is remastered and as powerful as ever! Tom Cruise co-stars as Charlie Babbitt, a materialistic car dealer who learns that his institutionalized brother Raymond (Hoffman) has inherited millions of dollars. Hoping to somehow get his hands on the money, Charlie abducts Raymond and they set off on a cross-country road trip that becomes an emotional journey of discovery. By the time they reach Las Vegas, Raymond's hidden genius is revealed and they forge an unexpected bond that will change both of their lives forever.

Can't wait to see what other titles they have lined up.

I have been tempted to buy this recently, glad i have held off.

I can't wait to see what they do with this. I'm also glad I held off on buying this.

Watched mine last weekend in preparation to sell it because this was rumored. It looked decent but there's plenty of room for improvement.

IndyMLVC · 01-22-2014, 04:34 PM

Hope they include the Backstory documentary.

Great find dude, but wrong thread, I'm affraid.

Apparently The Good The Bad and The Ugly is getting the "Rocky" treatment in that the remaster is being included with a re-release of the other two Dollars films.

Nice, glad I held off on the current release.

Now please restore the MPEG-2 encoded Silence of the Lambs!

+1

I'd bet it's on their list.

Cannot wait for Fargo and TGTBATU to come out. Watched a few minutes of RoboCop a couple days ago and it looked really good. Fargo is gonna be awesome

HuggyBear73 · 01-22-2014, 06:46 PM

I have the old RAIN MAN but never watched it. How's the transfer on it?

I might even reduce that from "decent" to "okay." Fine details get a little mushy.

Whirlygig · 01-22-2014, 10:45 PM

Dang, I just finally cracked mine open two weekends ago.

Yea, that is one classic movie that needs work for sure. It has to be, I hope, on their list as I think it's pretty much of a no-brainer that it would be on everybody's short "must re-do" list here. Can't wait to see an improved TGTBATU, Fargo and Rain Man

FT-86 · 01-22-2014, 11:05 PM

MGM should really do a trade in program for those that got the inferior versions. Slap in the face a bit.

Pre-Order Up.....

Its very cool, so my information was correct.

I also hope for a new Silence of the Lambs Blu-ray, with all DVD extras, a new 4K transfer and a inproved german DTS track.

Further, it would be cool, if MGM brings the Directors Cut of Windtalkers on Blu-ray.

Same here. At least I won't have to sell off a recently bought old copy like Fargo.
