Remembering Ragtime

Layering fascinating characters with the riotous events of early 1900s America, the best-seller by E.L. Doctorow became a cinematic epic under the direction of two-time Oscar winning director Miloš Forman. From the emerging New York suburb of New Rochelle to the flashy spectacle of Atlantic City, a family faces racial tensions, scandals and violence that will test everything they believe in. Newly remastered from a 4K film transfer for its 40th Anniversary, RAGTIME features an unforgettable music score by Randy Newman, and an incredible all-star cast that includes/ James Cagney in his first (and final) role in nearly two decades, Donald O’Connor, Mandy Patinkin, Mary Steenburgen, Debbie Allen, Elizabeth McGovern, Moses Gunn, Pat O’Brien, Jeff Daniels, Fran Drescher, John Ratzenberger, Michael Jeter, Norman Mailer, and Samuel L. Jackson.

By the price, seems like this one will be a Paramount Presents title... unless it's a pricing error and it should be $12.99 instead of $22.99, but I doubt it.

[Brad1963]

I was hoping for this.

[Chumley]

Sweet.

Much as I enjoy the movie, I'd still love an adaptation that doesn't have to toss 75% of the novel's plot.

[dumb_dutchman]

Nice. More Milos!!!

[sfmarine]

This is a big surprise! I guess ya'll can thank me as I purchased this in iTunes a few months ago!

[Gacivory]

Almost bought the pricey French edition. So this makes me happy!

I believe it will be.

I've actually never seen this, but people have been asking for this for a very long time. Interested to checking it out.

[postmodel]

Yeah, definitely looks like it'll be a Paramount Presents release between the price and "REMASTERED" in the title. Nice. Though it also says Limited Edition and I do not believe the PP line is limited in any way right?

I haven't seen it in a long time, but I remember liking it a lot, although it's also rather depressing. I'll definitely be picking it up.

[Cremildo]

Not one of my favorites from Forman but, given that it'll be a Presents edition, it'll be tempting to replace the old DVD.

I've never seen this movie but i love the Broadway musical. I'm getting this for sure so i can finally watch the movie version.

This is a very well made film from the master of Amadeus.It's a great recreation of the time like only Milos Forman can do with fantastic performances and outstanding Cinematography.Highly recommended for those who like true cinema.Would go right up there with Chariots of Fire and Reds for best picture in 81.Day one for me.Chariots is still my fav doe.Amadeus is the G.O.A.T. doe.Poster up in my theather.Love that movie.Bring on the 4K.

I’ve seen several promoted as Limited Edition, so I believe the entire PP is limited. Though they also throw the term “collector” around too. Technically everything is limited edition, limited to when they stop selling them.

I bought the French blu a couple of years ago. Picture and sound both quite good. Plays in Region A (although the back of the case says only Region B). Loads of extras. English 5.1 DTS MA sound. Nonforced French subtitles. Beautiful packaging.

But no English subtitles. So I'll buy the new one and keep the old one for the extras.

Great film, based on one of my all time favorite novels. Unfortunately, I've come to believe the rumored much longer cut doesn't exist or can't be assembled.

Used to watch this movie every time HBO showed it during the early 1980s. It's a fantastic movie and I can't believe it took this long for a Blu-ray release.

[BluPat]

Awesome! James Cagney's last film. Will definitely purchase this release.
