The Man With One Red Shoe - Blu-ray Forum

Any love for this hidden '80s comedy gem? This is an early Tom Hanks vehicle, but honestly it's the supporting cast that steals the show. Dabney Coleman, Gerrit Graham, James Belushi, Charles Durning and Carrie Fisher are all fantastic. I would love to see this one on blu.

Probably the only Tom Hanks flick I’ve never seen. I remember backin the 80’s always seeing the “preview” for it on HBO. Gonna have to give it a whirl one of these days.

Definitely a hole in my Tom Hanks Blu-ray collection (though I have it on DVD). I've always liked this just as much as his other 80s stuff like Splash, Big, The Burbs etc.

Definitely give it view. It is seriously funny.

Naw.....the music was the star of this flick. Never understood why there wasn't a released soundtrack.

I gave up on waiting for a blu-ray and bought the HD digital copy when it dropped to $4.99 a couple months back.

Thomas Newman's music often is. 14 Academy Award nominations an nary a win. Total travesty.

Did you previously own the DVD? If so, how much of an upgrade is the PQ?

Another little gem that I want a Blu Ray for, so many movies that I want to upgrade to BR. But I wonder if I will be alive by the time most of them get released.
