The Blue Max (1966) (Limited Edition) - SOLD OUT - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

James Mason, George Peppard and Ursula Andress highlight this stirring drama set in Germany during the close of World War I. Bruno Stachel (Peppard), a peasant promoted into the elite German air force, finds himself battling both the enemy in the sky and the prejudices of his higher-born fellow fliers. To overcome this stigma, Stachel proves he will go to any length-honorably or dishonorably, to win his country's most coveted air medal, Blue Max. But he soon learns the price he must pay for being proclaimed a hero in this highly acclaimed film with its uncompromising story and spectacular flying sequences.

Yes!!! I am getting this for sure. One of the best World War One movies. Great performances from George Peppard, Jeremy Kemp and James Mason with a great Jerry Goldsmith score. Close your eyes listening and you can picture yourself flying in the clouds.

droooool. awesome flick.

HotRats · 10-11-2013, 09:26 AM

As long as its better than the German blu I'll buy it

Murray Futterman · 10-11-2013, 11:48 AM

This will be worth the money just for the isolated score. One of Goldsmith's very best!

Alex DeLarge · 10-11-2013, 12:20 PM

Not familiar with this film but the poster is aces!

klauswhereareyou · 10-11-2013, 01:24 PM

One of the few TT titles so far that will benefit from the isolated score feature.

cb1 · 10-11-2013, 03:31 PM

yes! I got to get this one!

Finally! So glad. I'm sure it's going to look and sound great.

arcadeforest · 10-12-2013, 12:13 AM

Looking forward to getting this - love those old planes on screen

Maggot · 10-12-2013, 05:02 AM

Day one! Classic!

Dr Strangelove · 10-12-2013, 03:25 PM

Nice.....but I want a Fox Studio Classics release
Oh well :-/

atfree · 12-16-2013, 08:15 PM

Will temporarily end my embargo of TT purchases (overpriced and terrible shipping) for this one.

Pirate King · 12-16-2013, 09:05 PM

I will buy this one. Yes Sir. btw, those are real planes in the film.

HD Goofnut · 12-16-2013, 09:07 PM

My dad's birthday is 2/18 and this is his favorite film after The Searchers so I will definitely be ordering this one.

With all these classic films getting such a short window, I feel the pain for the fans of each of these releases. Sony/Twlight time's business model is really freaking stupid with limiting the number to 3000. With some titles selling out in less than a day.

But I would totally be in the same boat if universal did the same with 2 of my most wanted upgrades.

1. Streets of Fire
2. Howard the Duck (Yes I'm serious)
