I don't really care. This is a classic which my dad loves and I will get it no matter what. When it's $15 or less.

I used to be really into movies with a bunch of extras, now I find I don't even bother watching them. They should at least throw you a trailer though.

no offense CJ, but i believe that the point to dvds AND blurays are to enhance movies...visually, audibly, and to also go BEYOND the film itself, with use of extra footage, commentaries, etc. ANYONE can watch a movie on a vhs tape, laserdisc, dvd and a bluray disc. But i also believe that true film buffs as myself want MORE than just the film.
