I, for one, won't accept anything that isn't touched by the magical hands of Robert Harns .

"Ace restoration maverick" - love it!

Good article. I sold my 2001 Trilogy box set today. Even though it's an inferior version, I felt bad about letting it ago. This if the first time I've not had The Godfathers in my collection in ten years. I gave my VHS set away when I got the DVD. These two months are going to be long, but absolutely worth it.

The last part of the quote I thought was quite interesting

 

[Robert Crawford]

What's really amazing about Willis is the amount of great films he was DP on back in the 1970s with 3 of them being Best Picture Winners, yet he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar in that period of time. It's like he was ahead of his time or that the Hollywood community didn't fully appreciated his cinematography method.

Because I couldn't help myself and bought the exclusive SD DVD version off Amazon UK, I can just say: if you love these movies, order it (the BD or else that inexpensive SD set). I've known and watched the movies (especially the two first) for many years and they're in my group of absolutely favourite films.

This was almost a new experience. As if I had not seen the film in years. At times I felt like I was back in the seventies again, watching The Godfather for the first time in the cinema.

This restoration is that good. And I haven't even watched the BD version yet.

Hi Cees

what is exclusive to the Amazon box set ?

Cheers

 

[Cees Alons]

Oscar,

They claim it's exclusively sold by them.

I think that may be true - for the moment that is.
(Take a look, it's an extremely elegant box - tin - and the price is very right too!

I think it's an offer, uhm... well, you know, I had to do this, of course.)

Seems like a nice price, too, Cees.

There is an embedded video, too, showing off the restoration (as best you can in such a small internet window).

I just visited Amazon.uk, and must admit that the Region 2 boxed set is impressive, and has an appealing price tag.

It's good to hear that the new restoration is getting high marks from the user reviews.

 

[oscar_merkx]

That's a really attractive price Cees

 

[Cees Alons]

And it's a five-disc set. Three films and two with extras. In a metal box.
The extras are ... nice, ample, not really "impressive". But that price (£17.98) is certainly a good one for the three movies alone.

And there I was thinking Robert Harris looked like Richard Attenborough.

Goodness - you look very young!

Interesting. I wish they went into a little more detail, but the info is appreciated.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Amazon is selling "The Godfather" Blu-ray boxset for $61.95 today. That's a $13.00 savings over their previous low sale price of this release.

Great price especially since when I pre-ordered a couple months ago it was $86.95.

It's even a buck cheaper then the DVD set!! How funny is that? Someone should post a notice in the SD thread, I would but they have conniption fits when you mention Blu-ray in there. "The studios are forcing me into blu-ray" [url=https://static.hometheaterforum.com/imgrepo/e/e2/htf_imgcache_34492.gif] [/url] and all that other paranoia.
