Sixteen Candles (1984) (35th Anniversary Edition) - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Nailwraps · 03-06-2019, 04:52 AM

While I appreciate the digi-book, a 4K restoration would've been welcomed.

Oh well, at least Universal put thought in it, I feel that's what matters.

OneWayFilms · 03-06-2019, 05:08 AM

I'm in, just for the Digi-book. Heck Yeah!

MifuneFan · 03-06-2019, 11:55 AM

Wow an actual Digibook. I feel like it's been forever since Universal put one out

lilboyblu · 03-06-2019, 01:46 PM

So glad that the photo of work being done on Sixteen Candles by Criterion was leaked. Will continue to wait patiently for that disc to arrive, or watch my old $6.50 disc in the meantime.

Wow it's literally the same disc...

eledoremassis02 · 03-06-2019, 02:48 PM

No unless the text on the artwork is wrong. The "100 Years of Universal" featurettes means its the old disc.

so another repackage? no UHD?

and yet Pretty In Pink, Some Kind Of Wonderful and Career Opportunities somehow don't even have ANY blu-ray release yet!
I still can't fathom that there are film less well known than those (certainly the first two for beyond sure) that even have UHD release and hundreds of vastly less well known blu-ray titles and yet these can't buy a blu-ray release. What are the studios thinking?

yes! and add in Career Opportunities

and I can't even fathom why the first two would even need a boutique release, those are two super well known, iconic films

Pretty In Pink even got a theatrical re-release

We have a winner! Pick up your dozen floppy disks on your way out.

Meh. I personally hate anything that comes in a slot instead of a tray with those 'teeth' that hold the disc... so I'm skipping this. If Universal, or Criterion, does anything better that actually warrants a re-release then we'll talk, until then my $3.99 1980s Best of the Decade version (thankfully without that shitty slipcover) from Black Friday 2015 that came with a digital copy anyway will be just fine.

CQD84 · 03-07-2019, 01:40 PM

I do like the digibook packaging, but I'll wait for the Criterion release.

LosMagandos · 03-07-2019, 02:09 PM

oh my God, could it look any UGLIER

very Happy with my OG artwork UK Disc

MTRodaba2468 · 03-07-2019, 03:22 PM

Yeah, I'll just keep waiting on the Criterion release.
