Gone already.

There is no introduction by Carla Laemmle on either the Legacy Collection or the 75th Anniversary Edition. Looking at reviews of the original DVD there was not one there either.

It came out in January of 2009 and It's an excellent disc.

The subtitles are burned in.

This was the first new release movie that I remember being released only on DVD way back in February of 2010. Since then there have been numerous including Bel Ami recently. I'll never understand why a new release would not get a blu-ray edition. Sony seems to be the worst offender in this...

Even though I like the idea of a darker ending, I found the Director's Cut ending to be a completely unsatisfying conclusion to the film. I don't think that Frank Oz's conclusion that the test audience hated the ending because is necessarily correct, at least for me I just felt that the ending...

Perhaps.

The Blu-ray has that same logo.

It looks great, but I have one minor nitpick. There's something odd about the disc. When you hit play, it starts up right on the Universal Logo. There's no fade in, like the first two or three seconds at the beginning are missing. And all of the chapter stops come about a second and a half...

A compilation of clips is exactly what it is (with a few extra bits inside a theater featuring Donald Pleasance and Nancy Allen thrown in for good measure). People like to refer to it as a Documentary which it is not. I'm glad to own it for nostalgia's sake but you may not enjoy it as much.

I LOVE this series and have been waiting for blu-rays since I started collecting. That's compelling enough for me.

I thought I had heard when the DVD came out that a 2.35:1 image had been used and just cropped to 2.55:1. Anyway there is only a small difference in framing between the two discs. DVD Blu-ray

The 50% is off MSRP.

So I can get both the classic monsters collection and the Hitchcock set from Amazon.co.uk for only $185... Sold!

I'm quite happy with the Sony release. It doesn't look like the caps for the Universal release that I've seen. Much more natural.
