Marathon Man Blu-ray

Marathon Man Blu-ray review

Quote:

A graduate student and obsessive runner in New York is drawn into a mysterious plot involving his globe trotting brother, his European girlfriend and a Nazi war criminal in hiding. Includes one of the most agonizing torture scenes ever portrayed. "Is it safe?" You'll never see your dentist the same way again.

At least we got that out of the way early.

Nice! I was very close to ordering the UK release.

AKORIS · 05-15-2013, 08:38 PM

awesome!! One of my favorites from the 70's!

This will look good on the shelf with 3 Days of the Condor and The Odessa File.

Scottie · 05-15-2013, 06:44 PM

Excellent! Always wanted to see this.

The Great Owl · 05-15-2013, 06:52 PM

I saw Marathon Man when I was in high school, and I still think about it every single time I visit a dentist.

I'd love to revisit the movie, though.

Great News. I cancelled my pre-order at Amazon UK (region free). Will be released in the UK in early June. I'm cheap, so to save a few bucks I'll gladly wait a few months and get the U.S. version. Cover art is exactly the same. Amazon UK also has Escape from Alcatraz (region free) available for pre-order in early June. Hopefully....hopefully....WB will announce that for a U.S. release before the end of this year. I'll wait and see before I buy it from Amazon UK.

Have you seen The Conversation?

homernt · 05-16-2013, 12:52 PM

I watch it last week and I thought the PQ looked pretty good. The audio was more of a let down.

Alfredlynch · 09-20-2013, 09:36 AM

I just got my copy in yesterday and watched it. Looks pretty good for an older movie. I did notice what I thought was one or two missing frames near the end. When someone gets into a cab it looked like either a frame was missing or skipped. Anyone notice any missing frames? I just want to rule out a skipped frame.
