One of my favorite classics. 2nd to The Day the Earth Stood Still. Can't believe it's finally going to be on Blu!

Disciple of Vedder · 12-23-2010, 01:26 AM

Amazon now has it up for pre-order at $13.99. Sold.

Nice, can't wait for movie been waiting for a long time. I had the dvd and like the other poster said let someone borrow it and never saw it again. I'm hoping we get a decent transfer too.

And for $13.99 you can't beat that.

Now don't get me wrong I am very happy for y'all who love this film, but I caught it on MGM TV a few years back and I just could not get into it. I think Heston was more well suited for the epics and such as I felt he was too wooden. Sadly it was Edward G. Robinson's last role. What a great actor!

Thank's for the link, it's now on my wish list

Assuming decent transfers it looks like Warner might have a fairly cool catalog trend brewing.

Excalibur also has a release price of $13.99 and that's pretty reasonable.

Throw in The Maltese Falcon and Treasure of the Sierra Madres at around $17-$18 at release (and between $15-$19 since) and I like the looks of things.

If studios can make money at these price points we could be in for a very cool catalog ride soon.

Thinking of getting this..

PlisskenReplicant · 03-15-2011, 03:55 PM

im totaly buying. theres nothing i like more than upgrading a good old movie. i think they make the better blurays.and keep the grain intact

i`ll never say it enough.

i wouldnt say that the movie is better than planet of the apes, but i will not say its not as good either. i think they are both classics for their own reasons.

Oh wait, wrong movie.

From any buzz I have read on the internet, the BD release will be identical to the DVD with regards to supplemental material. That's disappointing. I agree with others that the video will likely be an upgrade, but will it justify the repurchase for the many fans that own this on other formats? I doubt it. Even though I owned this on DVD first, I prefer to watch this from my earlier laserdisc copy with its great cover art, comparable video quality, and a unique feature that was removed from the DVD (and from this Blu-ray?), an isolated music score option. I can't believe that this far on laserdisc still has more to offer sometimes.

Thanks for the soundtrack link. I haven't bought from FSM for several years, but do enjoy film scores a lot.

Blu Ray McHone · 03-23-2011, 02:00 PM

It truly is a great soundtrack. I picked it up not too long ago and will most definitely be picking this blu-ray up as well.

KyotoKid · 03-23-2011, 11:10 PM

Received a copy today and hope to check it out either tonight or tomorrow. I am using a 128" 2:35 screen so it will show any problems with the transfer ( if any ). I should watch King Of Kings beforehand as I hear it is a great transfer - it won't make viewing Soylent Green any easier but a generally gritty appearance is expected.
