GWTW is 4:3 and thus takes up somewhat less space on the disc than a 1.78:1 film like this. (Does the GWTW BD use those re-done widescreen sequences?)Originally Posted by Stephen_J_H
Not really. Gone With the Wind is 238 mins on one disc, and occupies about the same amount of real estate onscreen.
Really just a handful of Pixar and Disney classics that have significant PQ upgrades (and are the only films that get re-watched to any extent in my home).Originally Posted by cafink
Out of curiosity, why the exception for animation?
It's too epic to fit.Originally Posted by Peter Neski
why no Book design case?

I have a real soft spot for OUATIA. It's in my all-time top 10 -- while I don't know that I'd call it an objectively better film than, say, The Godfather (I or II), it's more of a personal fave. Probably it's partially because, 25 years ago, it was my first exposure to the concept of seriously badass American Jews. " width="" />
Incidentally, I recently read the source novel (been meaning to forever), which is very different but also very good.

Is there any new content on the BD set? Bear in mind that I have HUNDREDS of unwatched DVDs that I bought between 1999 and 2005 and am trying very hard to not go crazy buying movies again, not least because my disposable income is much less than it used to be -- not to mention my free time.
Is the Godfather BD set a major quality upgrade? If that's the case then I might consider it if I see a really good deal and can unload my DVD set.
I upgraded my Band of Brothers set, but it was really cheap (a bit over $30 in an Amazon deal) and I handed down my DVD set to my father (who has since gone Blu).
