Jack Ryan Series SE Announced (1 Viewer)

[Joel C]

Well, now I have a good excuse to get rid of the stinking bootleg SoAF that someone pawned off on me. Stupid eBay.

 

[Joshua_Y]

DTS!! WooHoo! Gonna sell my old discs! Bring on Titanic DTS!

 

[Qui-Gon John]

This is f'n GREAT news.

Martin thanks for any help you put into this effort!

As Sean said, thank God I waited. Now if we could only get Buena Vista to re-release CRIMSON TIDE as an anamorphic Special Edition!

Only thing bad is the 4 pack, I already bought SUM OF ALL FEARS, since it was anamorphic. Wish they'd market a 3 pack of the older titles reissued only. But I'll scour the web and the roundup and try to get all 3 for 30 to 40 dollars, I hope.

 

[T r o y]

I never bought any of these movies but now that they are being re-released in anamorphic video and DTS... I have a real good excuse to buy them up!!

With the completion of my HT room nearing very soon... this will make for awesome intros to break in the room nicely!

The Hunt for Red October...
dts...
new anamorphic transfer...
director's commentary...

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a while since I've been that excited about a DVD announcement, I've been waiting for this since the first release!

 

[Jim Peavy]

Been patiently waiting to buy Hunt for Red October until they remastered it. Great news! !!

Robert...

Take a look at my post again.

I'm not complaining.

Re-read and then we'll talk

 

[David Lambert]

I'm quite pleased to see these. For a long time folks here asked when these would see the light of day, and I always answered "Ah, Paramount doesn't double-dip!" I'm glad to see I was finally made wrong. HfRO for us for sure, and possibly the entire box:

[DanR]

Good news indeed. Thanks Paramount. I'll be getting the first three for sure.

Regards,
Dan

 

[Qui-Gon John]

The other good news is with Paramount offering these as a box or individually, (something they also did with Sat. Night Fever, Grease, et al), maybe they'll do the same with Indiana Jones.

 

[Nate Anderson]

YESSS!!! I've been patiently waiting for these to come out! It was trying...I almost picked them up when they got cheap, but I managed to restrain myself.

These are so mine when they come out...and priced right to boot...and only 19.99 a piece. This is too good to be true.

Oh yeah, and I already got Sum of All Fears for Christmas. I rather liked it myself, but then again I've always been a Ben Affleck fan.

 

[Joshua_Y]

Wait, so if I want to not purchase them seperately, I have to get SoaF again! Bah!

I dont know. Besides the DTS sound, those dont really sound like real SE's. One featurette does not equal an SE. But then again, I really wouldnt mind DTS. Such a tough choice.

 

[Jason Seaver]

I don't care about DTS, but I am psyched to see they're all 16:9 encoded.

And the upgrading doesn't really hurt, since I don't have Patriot Games and got the other two back when 800.com was doing that 3/$1 offer.

*jumps up and down with joy*

The Hunt for Red October is one of my favorite movies and it was one of the first DVDs I purchased (might have even been the first, can't quite remember) when I started building my collection a little over three years ago. I've been waiting for an anamorphic HFRO ever since

Off to get rid of my HFRO DVD (along with Star Trek IV ) in preparation for the rereleases.... I'd buy the box set, but I already have SoaF (picked it up cheap during the last Blockbuster sale).

[Joel Fontenot]

on The Hunt For Red October.

I held off buying this (my wife almost got it on several occasions but I convinced her otherwise) hoping for a true update on DVD. I already had the laserdisc so I basically had the same transfer.

16x9 is the deal maker - DTS is just a plus, a big plus.

Joel

 

[Glenn_Jn]

Already have HFRO (R2 anamorphic) and SOAF and although Hunt doesn't have the "featurette" or the DTS track, I doubt either will make it worth repurchasing. I might if the "remastered" transfer is an obvious improvement. If I do that will be the third time (damn! 3 Die Hards, 3 Predators, 3 HFRO's this DVD rebuying thing is getting to be a bit much)
I can't really see the DTS tracks on films this old being that much of an improvement over the DD5.1..we'll see.
I guess I'll finally get round to buying the other 2. I just hope CC or BB offer them for a lot less than $19.99. They don't sound THAT good.

 

[oscar_merkx]

I will get at least The Hunt For Red October, not sure about the other two though

Now bring on Indy

 

[Dan Hitchman]

Yeeehawwwww!!!!!!

Way to go Paramount! Keep those DTS titles coming!!

File this under "It's About Fricken' Time". Very excited about this re-release of a fine set of movies. I agree with the above statement that the new video master is what really grabs me. Nice job Paramount (too bad I need to order from the US to get the original cover art vs. the bilingual Canadian version).

 

[Rob T]

Nice job Paramount (too bad I need to order from the US to get the original cover art vs. the bilingual Canadian version).

I find it's much cheaper to buy them here then replace the cover art with scans from DVDcoverart.com.
