I wonder when Amazon will have it for pre-order and their price?

Thrilling movie. The scene with the crocodile always blows me away, among many others. Unbelievable level of commitment from McQueen and Hoffman.

This might be a blind buy for me, I've heard nothing but good things about the film.

Awesome news, more Steve McQueen on blu. Here's hoping MGM will get The Great Escape out this year too.
