Down and out in Beverly Hills Blu Ray!

[Ill_Be_Back]

I hope this gets a Blu Ray release I love this film!

Anyone with me??

I'd be in for this. I hope more of Bette's titles come out on Blu. Big Business IMO is probably her weakest film of her late 80's comeback period and is the first one out (but I did buy it). I'd definitely be in for this, Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and Beaches.... and also The Rose even though that's a different studio and era.

This is on my Blu wishlist. The DVD seemed very dark and muddy.

I wholeheartedly support this. I remember watching it a number of times during my childhood.

Touchstone recently released a Bette Midler Collection in Germany including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, but only on DVD. Can you say "fail"?

Sent a message about this release to Disney. No word back yet....

[Ill_Be_Back]

I still can't believe they haven't released this yet, I am hoping for an announcement this year.

[Doombear]

Release this '80s oddity already!

Pauline Kael wrote a very positive & inspiring review of it (in "Hooked", re-printed in "For keeps", so she thought it good, although she seems partial to Mazursky), so after buying and liking films she endorsed ("Hope & Glory", "Stuntman", "Blow out") on Blu-ray, and enjoying them, I'd like to see a this film with a decent image.

It's prob worth it alone for the cameo by Little Richard.

Bad thing about BRs is that they make DVDs hard to watch thereafter (like attempting to watch sport in SD ...).

I would also like to see Paul Mazursky's other films on BR.

Has anyone checked out the HD version on the streaming services? How does it compare to DVD?

Which streaming service has it?

[Doombear]

iTunes HD version looks pretty nice.

On my wish list for sure Star of the show is Mike the Dog.

I would love to have it on Blu-ray. Digital is the only HD option for now, the 3 pack DVD set is still in print with Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and this film. I wish they would upgrade that 3 pack to a Blu-ray set.

Crazy this being such a big BO hit at the time and still no release. Can only live in hope now.

I totally agree and am very glad to see you post this. I would particularly love to see Arrow give this film their treatment, it is so deserving of it.

It's strange because like you say it was a big box office hit and regarded as a film which would be considered a future classic but it seems to have been overlooked in recent years.

I just don't understand the thinking with Disney. They could easily do a 3 disc Blu-ray set of Ruthless People, Down And Out In Beverly Hills and Outrageous Fortune. They all have HD masters! The DVD set stays in print, while they show no interest in doing a Blu-ray version.

There is plenty of catalogue they have they could do some nice 3-disc Blu-ray sets for.

Instead they want us to pay $17.99 for a Digital version to have it in HD. They are easily making more off the Digital versions than any 3-disc Blu-ray set they could easily do. Milking the old DVD and Digital, ignore Blu-ray.

I do hope this makes it to Blu-ray someday, it sucks though the studios could care less about better versions and more about profits. I wish their digital prices would drop to like $9.99. Anyway sorry for the rant but as usual Disney continues to ignore bringing some of their catalogue to Blu-ray like it never happened and they act like there is no demand for it to. I was actually surprised that Willow got a rerelease, I just wish they would care more about Blu-ray.
