Me too! And for the life of me, I can’t understand why there isn’t more excitement about these releases.

Earlier tonight I had a bunch of people over to watch the new ROBOCOP bluray, which has the MGM 90th Anniversary trailer at the beginning of the disc. I was expecting to see clips from the announced titles… and sure enough, the clips from the remastered ROCKY look fantastic, and RAIN MAN looks like a huge step up.

But what I wasn’t expecting to see were all the upcoming titles I haven’t heard one peep about. The remastered MOONSTRUCK looks outright amazing, the new WHEN HARRY MET SALLY is a major upgrade… and the remastered ANNIE HALL looks like a night-and-day improvement over the current release. Someone in my home theater literally shouted “wow!” when the new shots from ANNIE HALL came up.

After ROBOCOP was over we went back and re-watched the MGM trailer twice more. I’d say SILENCE OF THE LAMBS also looks like it got a 4K remaster. Some of the other titles were harder to tell, but based on the brief images I suspect THELMA AND LOUISE has been remastered, as has the original CARRIE.

Looks like a lot of double-dipping is in my future.
