1980 Best Picture Ordinary People Blu-ray

[CouncilSpectre]

Pretty in Pink, or rather the absence of, is still mind-boggling to me....

No, it's been repackaged 7 times. It still is only 1 master., so the repackaging are essentially cost free, which is why they do it.

Odd considering they did such a stellar job on the special edition DVD(and Some Kind Of Wonderful).

Honestly it ranks as one of my favorite special editions to date-I especially liked How Molly Ringwald was so open about how she was deeply in love with Andrew McCarthy during filming. Great stuff.

Universal's John Hughes movies though---Ugh, serious train wreck in the special features department. what a difference a studio makes.

Universal's JH blu releases aren't exactly stellar.

PiP is, or was on Netflix - even that HDTV version looked sweet.

PiP and SKoW are both extremely high on my blu ray wishlist.

I know. I pulled out my old DVD to watch it a couple of weeks ago. Better than nothing, but still.

It's taking way too long.
There must be a market for an Oscar-winning family drama.

I’m not even a fan of Criterion but this movie deserves a Criterion release.

I cant believe Mariah Carey's "GLITTER" gets a BluRay release, and this Classic never gets a release

Bumping this when doing some shopping I was too surprised to learn that no Blu-Ray but would love Criterion to pick this up. I know Timothy Hutton would probably provide hours of commentary.

It is so incredibly disappointing that this film still hasn't received a Blu-ray release. I hold out hope we might someday see something better than the subpar HD iTunes release. Who knows maybe we will skip Blu-ray and go straight to 4k.... A man can dream

[mickeytor]

Totally agree ... with Mary's recent death and Redford announcing his retirement, there should be some interest in this film. Perhaps for it's upcoming 40th we might see something. Or maybe as part of a Redford retrospective.

STILL waiting for SOMEONE to release Ordinary People!

I am a budget guy- I never preorder and I always buy what I want that is also a good deal or on sale; that being said; I would happily pay $30 right now to get a bare-bones Blu or 4K release of this film; I'd pay $50 for a stacked Criterion release.

Someone...anyone...please...Twilight Time?

Same!

[anthonyls]

This seems like a perfect release for Criterion. Is Criterion not interested in this release? Are the film elements in bad shape? Why is no one interested in releasing this? Does it need a new restoration or something?

[Jlouisbarrett]

It’s with Paramount, which is and has been notorious for holding most of their films hostage.

[mdoyl44]

I think Shout! is the go to for Paramount releases?

[Aunt Peg]

To be released on Blu Ray in Australia on 6 May 2020.

It's from Shock so it's probably on par with the Blu Ray of The Tenant.

I checked out sanity.com.au. ORDINARY PEOPLE is listed there. It is listed as a Region B release, so obviously you need a region free player. Total cost w/ shipping included: $23.58. It is listed at $14.99, but Sanity dropped the cost to $13.63 as I neared checkout. It is not yet listed at fishpond.com.au. I think I will wait to officially preorder until closer to street date. I want to see if Deep Discount or Amazon end up carrying this title. Although, I'm not sure if either one of them would have it cheaper than $23.58.

I can't believe this still isn't out on Blu-ray in North America. Hopefully that Paramount deal with SF extends to their Shout Select line and they put this out sooner rather than later. Way overdue for a release.
