Loved the film.
Loved the film score.
Loved the story.
Loved the cinematography
Loved the cast.
I remember the first time I saw it at the theater and how much I looked forward to seeing it in my home one day.
Thanks to the great care that Sony has done with this Blu-ray disc I can say that I finally have in my home what I remember seeing and hearing in the theater.

There are a great many people that have never experienced this film. Hopefully this thread will nudge them over the edge to try a western.

IIRC, I just cheaply sold off my original version DVD (along w/ a sizeable batch of other titles, including Contact I think) in a stoop sale to some parents of a 20-yo soldier currently on her Iraq tour -- and that DVD (along w/ the others) is expected to make its way around their camp(s) (and who knows where else) over there probably to be seen for the first time by some/many of them for quality entertainment.

Interestingly, the Blu-ray format has done precisely that for me. I only had a couple of westerns on dvd, but in my small Blu-ray collection there already are a lot more. How The West Was Won looks extraordinary. I was finally able to fully appreciate the Wild Bunch for the first time on Blu (it never got to me before that). And of course other classics like The Searchers and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They all look excellent, and I'm sure this one looks good too. I'll probably take Unforgiven as well, while I'm at it. I've never seen both movies, but I'm sure I'll love them.
