Rear Window 60th Anniversary - Blu-ray Forum

HuggyBear73 · 06-24-2014, 09:20 PM

So it appears the 60th Anniversary release comes out in August. I just purchased the individual release a few weeks ago. Is this gonna be just a repackage?

That would be my guess.

We need another individual release of THE BIRDS now since the 50th has been OOP for a while. I missed out on that one.

I have the Masterpiece Collection and am more than happy with that.

I already have Rear Window on BD and when I watch it, I am absolutely mesmerised whenever Grace Kelly is in shot; the transfer is good enough to make her eyes look like sapphire's. Plus it's topical at the mo with 'Grace of Monaco' doing the cinema rounds here in the UK

As for the 60th anniversary edition, not sure what can be added apart from new packaging ? We shall see

Hmm, interesting, I didn't know about this. Very happy with the current release, but as it is one of my all time favourites I might double dip.

I already have the USA BDs of "Rear Window" and "Vertigo" but wondered if I should pick this up

They're unlikely to be different transfers.

Have never seen this film, so I bought the 60th Anniversary Edition for £3.99 on Blu-Ray last week. Gonna watch it tonight. As I get on in life I prefer to watch older films. I find them more enjoyable.

And this is one of Hitchcocks best films, I hope you'll enjoy it

Not "one of the best" but the best by some margin.

I think by nature any film gets older every day :-)

Jokes aside, you will be having a good time with this one. One of my favourites.

Blu Lemmy · 07-01-2019, 08:42 PM

Yup. I watched this a few months back.....my first Hitchcock movie.

It was fantastic, I mean really bloody good

Promptly bought the 20 disc collection

Bourne1886 · 07-02-2019, 03:02 PM

Really enjoyed this, such a good film.I’ve got another Hitchcock film, The Lady Vanishes on Blu-ray to watch. It’s great when you find new (classic old ) films to watch.

Bought the 60th anniversary release the other week, it's one of my mother's favourite films.

When she watched it, she noted a couple of things which I'd love somebody to help clarify for me?

Firstly, the colouring on the 60th anniversary release is terribly bright (e.g. the plants in the garden, with the reds and yellows). We recorded yesterday Rear Window HD on Sky Cinema and the colouring IS different (less vivid, more balanced). Does anyone else notice it?

Finally, near the beginning of the film there was a brief shot of a helicopter. Mum didn't remember seeing it at the cinema or on subsequent viewings. Has this been included in recent years or has it always been there since the theatrical release?
