Interesting read. I totally understand the impulse to purge and keep the digital disc collection on the shelf tidy and essential. When I made the step towards blu-ray in 2008 I had a collection of around 900 dvd's. As soon as I got my first 1080p plasma it was clear that upgrading from dvd to...
Die Hard on blu-ray stomps all over the Five Star dvd release. Way more detail and colour fidelity while the added resolution makes sure this movie finally has a pleasing movie like image in your home theater; on my calibrated full hd 1080p 46" plasma at least!
This movie has long been one of my favorites, and when the Five Star Collection dvd was released in 2001 I was hugely impressed and very happy with the presentation of the movie. Having lived with the European blu-ray for the last 2 months I can say it's been hard to take this new director...
If you have a region free dvd player you may order the Australian dvd version of Flashpoint. It is an anamorphic 1.78:1 transfer and of excellent quality. The audio is basic clear mono and adequate, no extras and no subtitles. You can order it from Devoted DVD (that's where mine came from)...

Anybody have any info on the forthcoming Alliance release of the Songs From The Second Floor dvd? Particularly interested in whether it's an anamorphic transfer.
A terrific list with something for everyone: this is the kind of thing I like to show to people who just don't get it when it comes to collecting dvd's:)
The graphics, screen caps and write ups are all great: thanks for your hard work!

The Reservoir Dogs 10th Anniversary SE (also Artisan) has the same setup in regards to extra features: the fullscreen disc 2 has different extras and commentaries than the widescreen disc 1 (like Reservoir Dogs the DTS track will only be on the widescreen disc I bet).
I think it makes a lot of...
Got my copy from a Canadian e-tailer (so it has the bilingual cover). Picture is sweet (on par with a Paramount transfer like The Conversation, but not quite the stellar quality of Marathon Man for example) but more important is the mono sound which is clear as a bell: no distortions, shrill...
Although I wasn't a great fan of the movie, the trailer for BUFFALO 66 is amazing. It's on the dvd and although I watched it after the movie I guess you could watch it safely beforehand.
Oh yes, this I absolutely need to have on dvd. As the other posters, being a fan of The French Connection and The Conversation this is surely part 3 of a most excellent Gene Hackman trilogy (oops, I left out The Poseidon Adventure :D )
Well, in keeping with the outburst of happiness on this forum following the announcement of this release :D I can now provide the cheapest price on the net. Go to DVDBoxoffice and search under Z: The Masterworks Edition. A price slightly over US $13, including worldwide free shipping.

Bart, I performed the same sleight of hand! Problem solved indeed so we both can now move on to more importanrt things in life. Great minds think alike :D
I concur with Max Leung: having your TV properly calibrated does wonders for the grain control with dvd images. And on my setup I think A.I. is a stellar transfer of a very original looking movie.
Grain is often supposed to be there (I like 70's movies so there you go) but like many in this...
Well, an early release of A Hard Day's Night is now available on region 2 in The Netherlands: it's from the new print in anamorphic widescreen (1.66:1) and has a DD 5.1 and a DTS 5.1 mix, all of which are outstanding according to Link Removed
