I think if they did a tie-in with Star Wars (and hopefully not with a printed blurb on the cover), they could generate some retail exposure. However, it is way beyond late for that this year.

I do hope Miramax revisits some of their initial LD ports with proper transfers, otherwise I'll end up buying the R2 versions if they are superior.

Did they ever think that if they put out a good version of the film to begin with, same with top gun, more people would have bought the movie?

Just a thought:-)

I would love have this rereleased!!!

Because of this thread I bought Beautiful Girls. I'd by an anamorphic version if it was released.

Miramax certainly has quite a few DVDs that IMHO will generate enough interest if re-issued with a better anamorphic transfer. Beautiful Girls and Life is Beautiful are the ones I'd certainly grab.

I presently own it but if a better version came around then I'd get that too in a second. Great film. A definite hidden jewel.

Since it's been 6 months since this came up last, figured I'd check to see if anyone has heard any rumbling about a reissue, or if anyone else wanted to add their name to list who want one.

Is there a decent version in any other regions in NTSC? There seems to be a few Reg 2 releases that are decent- but I'd prefer NTSC- is there maybe a decent japanese release?
