Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb on June 16, 2009 - Blu-ray Forum

Riff Magnum · 05-06-2009, 03:14 AM

Who freaking cares? It's Dr. Stangelove on Blizray. You know, eventually a lot of the movies you absolutely love will be out on blu in odd size packaging. I bet you don't complain when a book publisher makes a book you want that isn't the same size as all your other books. Do you look at your bookshelves and just shake your head and sigh at the un-uniformity of it all?

Explains why it's so expensive...

Not to fond of digibooks but this movie is great, so I'll bit.

My favorite comedy. Ever.

No idea if this initial Blu-Ray was a brand new master, but Dr. Strangelove is among the films Sony will be playing at an upcoming festival celebrating 4K:

I wouldn't say it is my fav one, but it is definitely WAY UP there on my list.

Tony208 · 03-01-2013, 08:23 AM

I don't own a lot of comedies but, I own this one.

This the one I have from the UK.

Kevin Holly · 03-25-2013, 01:24 PM

So just to be absolutely clear, there is no standard case North American version of this thing, nor are there any plans to make that the case?

That's an odd decision from the studios, and it alienates people who are not Digibook fans.

Nope, digibook only. If you want one in an amaray case get it from the UK

Iamspartacus · 08-24-2013, 10:21 PM

Anyone heard anything lately on this one coming out as part of the 4K rollouts?

Oblivion138 · 08-25-2013, 02:56 AM

No.

The present BD already stems from a 4K master.

Iamspartacus · 08-25-2013, 03:00 AM

Exactly, that's why I was wondering if they were going to repackage it and call it mastered in 4K.

What could be better than a digibook?

If it is the same author I do, but then I like uniformity. Thank god for the film, one of the best

Gone2HiDef · 05-06-2009, 04:18 AM

Never seen this flick. Love the digibook format. The format helps me wanna get this blind buy even more.

Liberal Hippie · 05-06-2009, 04:21 AM

Digi Book sucks but I will buy this great film! I will just use a custom cover and slide it into my blue case I have waiting.

AaronSCH · 05-06-2009, 04:32 AM

I'm not gonna rail against the digi-book style packaging any longer since it is obvious that this style seems to have caught on and is now being embraced by another studio. I simply wish we had been given a choice. That being said, I simply couldn't resist picking up the digibooks that are currently available when I learned of the recent Warner Home Video 3 for 2 sale. Had I still been holding out, Dr. Strangelove would have proven irresistible to me. I love the film too much to resist a purchase. I suspect that there may be a Stanley Kubrick library released with all of his films receiving this type of treatment. It's just a hunch, but Sony and Warner have cooperated on past Kubrick DVD box sets as well.
