Unforgiven Blu-ray 20th anniversary

Unforgiven Blu-ray

I was thinking about buying it. This would be my first blind buy as I've never seen this movie. This site gave it great reviews and it has won several awards back in the day. I'm kinda shakey on buying a Blu-ray of a movie that released in the early 90's.

To all the Unforgiven owners or people that have seen this Blu, should I buy it?

Why?

JasonR · 08-27-2009, 07:30 PM

One of the best westerns ever in my opinion.

Big Z · 08-27-2009, 07:30 PM

I'm in the same boat....attractive price for a movie which won so many awards

Yes. Yes you are.

Also, since when are the 90s old?

As long as the film is in good condition, there's no reason it can't look phenomenal on blu-ray regardless of the year in which it was produced.

Don't forget, 35mm film has a higher resolution than even 1080p. Even classics from the 30s can look amazing since they were shot on film. The upcoming Wizard of Oz box set is going to be fantastic, and Robin Hood (1939) is a revelation.

Unless the film elements are in bad shape, there's no reason a film from the 1930s all the way through the 1990s can't look great in high-def.

It looks great on blu, and it's NOT THAT OLD!!! Buy w/ total confidence, it is a good film!

Pretty much. There are new releases which look rather dreadful on Blu, while there are classics (by which I mean, pre-1990) films that look amazing. It's a case-by-case thing, but the reviews here are quite helpful.

I should say it's older than any Blu-ray than I've been considering buying. I do take a lot of stock in what the reviewer on this site and you guys think.

benricci · 08-27-2009, 07:49 PM

So do you only watch movies from the 2000s?

Teabaggins · 08-27-2009, 07:49 PM

buy the Proposition first(it's quite cheap), if you dig that then buy this

As far as Blu-rays, I've not seen any movies from before 2000.

I do watch older movies...

Despite what would seem to be the OP's somewhat-misguided metric for pinpointing quality Blus, I'd still thank him for pointing out the Amazon sale. Just grabbed a copy

CdnBlu · 08-27-2009, 09:32 PM

I am going to as well! Quick question though before I order: Is there anything else on that website that is cheap (14.99 or less) that would make my order more 'internationally-friendly' in terms of shipping

I nabbed a copy of Unforgiven, as well as The Ninth gate, and an Endoskull since I didn't already have one

Thanks guys!

Well, not a movie, I also grabbed Mirror's Edge for the PS3 @ $18.99. I've always wanted to play that game, but I was waiting for a decent price.

NorCo_1806 · 08-28-2009, 04:26 PM

Dang it!! If I'd only waited 3 weeks...could have saved myself $1.

I bought a new copy at FYE for $9.99. It's a great movie...plenty of rain...OOH, I should try it with my front-height speakers....bought the movie before my AVR790 came in.

It was dark....a lot....maybe that's just my TV....the movie does have many dark/night time scenes....but it's a great movie.

MaCruz · 08-28-2009, 04:51 PM

Other than the fact you listed the price for $8.99.. This should of been posted on the hot deals forum.

I think it was but to answer the OP's question, it won Best Picture...it's a worthy addition in any collection. Granted, it doesn't have lossless, it's still a great presentation. Eastwood and Freeman...you can't go wrong.
