An early 60's star-a-thon that was fun too.

A classic! Don't know how well the comedy would stand up today, but yes...a fun film!

Also, the remake "Rat Race" is quite funny, especially Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean fame.

It would be fantastic to see this film on Blu-ray. Especially considering the DVD release wasn't the best they could do. The VHS and some TV aired versions seem to have more extras. Growing up I've seen this movie countless times because my Dad was such a big fan of it. I've seen it on VHS, DVD, and even in the theater twice. I'm only 23 and I absolutely love it.

I was surprised that a 2 Disc or even a 3 Disc DVD was never made of this film, only a now are single DVD flipper with some extras. Considering all the alternate versions, takes, and cuts of the film you'd think that this would be one of the best movies to bring to the format. I'm sure you can fill a whole other disc or two with extras!!

Let's hope they come out with a Blu-ray version that isn't a bare-bones edition. I hope they do it right and include all the extras they can find, because that's really the best part about DVDs and Blu-rays. Plus if they had the film at it's original length and aspect ratio (or as close as they could get it) of course that would be awesome. Here's hoping!

The humor more or less holds up. I watch this movie a lot with my grandma

That was actually pretty funny..I must say. It's on Comedy Central every now and then.

The Theory · 09-10-2010, 01:39 AM

Yeah, I love Rat Race... I would buy that in a heart beat on blu.

It's A Mad^4 World I'd have to think about and it would depend on how cheap I could find it. Watched it once and it didn't capture me as immediately as Rat Race did.

Would like to see a remaster of this, since most of it is filmed in sunlight it has the possibility to look great

Maggot · 09-12-2010, 04:16 AM

Yea, if there are two, what I would call, "somewhat forgotten" classics that are sure to look great on Blu-ray.....they would be It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and The Great Race. These need to come out.

Let's make that an uneven three:

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
The Great Race
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines

There's another topic for this a couple of topics below this one.

I definitely want this though like I said in the other one.

DANIML · 09-13-2010, 04:28 AM

First day purchase for me.
