This is one of my favorite 70s disaster films. It has gorgeous photography, an amazing Jerry Goldsmith score, a fun and witty script by 70's blockbuster writer Tom Mankiewicz and a colorful international pot luck mix of actors.

The widescreen DVD is 4:3 letterboxed and years OOP. Excited to see this on BD.

Sweet! I can't wait to get this on blu. A good solid 70's disaster movie. Very underrated.

I have a friend who's into 70s Italian horror films and has shown me a couple, with their bold colors, gorgeous photography and startling violence and gore. This film is very similar.

The Cassandra Crossing seems to take the basic outlines of a 70s disaster film, but avoids the soap opera-y tone most Hollywood disaster films chose, instead going for a gritty, dark, visually creative style that feels much more European, like those horror films.

And how can anyone not love a film with Sophia Loren at her best:

I guess it's time to sell my Artisan DVD to Amazon for Trade-In value. They were offering up to $27 for it - far more than it's worth (and more than I could get for it if I peddled it myself).

With this and Capricorn One, maybe Shout is planning on releasing an OJ legacy collection.

Picking up this one together with Saturn 3! Disaster flicks are always welcome in my blu-ray collection!

Has anyone compared the German Blu to the shout version as yet?
Great 70's flick with another fantastic Goldsmith score.
