Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
Didn't see it mentioned here. The Digital Bits is reporting a Blu-ray release on 6/3/08. We knew it was around the corner, but it's nice to have a date.

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
I initially got excited, and then realized I have never watched any of these films since I got the WB DVD box set  . I think I will wait a while before I upgrade. There will be enough new titles to buy, so unless there are a lot of great sales I will be doing fewer format double dips...
No Signature...How boring is that!

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
Well for me catalog titles like this get me way more excited than 95% of new films that come out.
I wonder if these will be available individually. If so I might just opt for Dirty Harry, Magnum Force and Sudden Impact which are the best of the bunch to me. If not then I'll still get the set.

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
I can't make up my mind about this set. I've seen Dirty Harry and The Dead Pool. I think I've seen Sudden Impact, but I don't think I've seen Magnum Force and The Enforcer. I can't say any of them were particularly memorable, although I realize Dirty Harry was pretty cutting edge for its time. I guess I'll bite if I can find a really good deal.

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
Dirty Harry, Magnum Force and Sudden Impact are the best of the bunch. The Enforcer isn't bad (although Tyne Daly REALLY gets on my nerves), and The Dead Pool is only worth seeing for Liam Neeson and Jim Carrey in early roles.

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
Magnum Force is a true classic 70's cop film, written by John Milius with amazing cinemascope images, whats not to like? 
they are all superb in my book with the Dead Pool being the least obviously

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
Hopefully Warners will see fit to include the original mono tracks on the earlier films.

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
Dirty Harry is a film that kind of special to me. I remember seeing in the theaters as a kid and have always loved it.
There was a thread in the movie section awhile with people debating whether Callihan was a fascist or not that was kind of amusing. I really consider it to be a minor masterpiece.
I enjoyed Magnum Force, but to me its not in DHs league. A HD disc is a must own for me.

Re: Dirty Harry from Warner on 6/3/08
I think the biggest problem I am having with this release is that there is not an option to buy them separately. Yet. I'm sure there will be eventually. So, again, if I can find a crazy good deal on the boxset, I'll pick them all up. Otherwise, I'll probably only pick up the first movie.
