I'm currently half way thru 'Tight Rope' ("Corda tesa") then I will watch one from my latest haul- probably the Italian release 'Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion' ("Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto")...same 4K resto as used by Criterion I believe.

Also saw 'Fury' a few days ago- I have to say I really enjoyed it even tho it got some negative reviews. I've liked nearly all of David Ayer's films that he has written or directed. :thumbs-up-smiley:

Nice set up above...I love those older Elite receivers with the Urushi finish- absolutely beautiful looking. Stil got my old VSX-45TX.

Have you been opting for the original lossy audio tracks on the older releases or the redone lossless dts-HD Master? I think I prefer the lossy ones- the newer lossless audio seems a bit too OTT to my ears or maybe it's just my set up.

Yes, I'm sure the price will drop soon enough too and if you are in the US and ordering from Amz UK you pay less than the advertised price as you don't have to pay the tax.

Just wanted to share with you guys the newish 'Clint Eastwood Eight Movie Collection' from Universal in the UK...transfers looks pretty nice so far. Apologies for all the pics but I know some of you may be interested in this set. Region free :thumbs-up-smiley:

Dropped thru my letterbox this morning- Sony's beautiful release of 'The Age Of Innocence'- dir.Martin Scorsese with Daniel Day-Lewis. Works out about $22 delivered to California from Amazon Italy. It's billed as a Special Edition but no extras on the disc. The transfer looks great and its a...

Just picked this up today and excited to give it a spin over the weekend...

Will try to squeeze this in over the weekend in between the World Cup and US Open golf... :)

If you can play region 'B' titles the UK disc is excellent. Over 2 1/2 hrs of extras, a 40 page booklet, reversible cover art and a very nice transfer. I owned the US DVD and this is a huge improvement.

Robert Altman's classic 'The Long Goodbye' getting a watch this weekend.

Alec Guinness is hilarious in 'The Lady Killers'. Other is a blind buy.

Hi Mike, the Japanese version seems to be the one to own but it's rather expensive. :( But yes, a wonderful film which is now one of my favorites too. Not sure if you have seen it but another great film, and a personal favorite of mine, also set in China in the earlier 1900's, is 'Raise The Red...

Yes, Amazon UK...the aspect ratio is the same as the US Criterion (re-framed to 2.02:1) and image quality is very similar. If you are looking for the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio I believe it is available from Amazon Japan...info here...

I managed to squeeze this into my weekend viewing. Had never seen it before, but wow, what a film, and soundtrack.

I cannot wait to get my copy of Get Carter- Michael Caine version of course! Great selection :thumbsup:

'A Late Quartet' (great cast) and 'Simon Killer' on my weekend viewing list. Happy Easter everyone. :)

Josh- a classic film and one of my favorite actors of all time- Humphrey Bogart. Don't make 'em like they used to!

Just dropped thru my letterbox this morning. Can't wait to give this a spin- over 20 years since I last watched it.

Thanks guys for the tips...added to my list! :thumbs-up-smiley:

Thanks for the tip- I actually own 'Potiche' too on bluray but have not watched it yet- even tho I bought it nearly 2 years ago! Maybe I'll make it a double feature then. His only film I have seen so far is 'Swimming Pool' which I loved. 'Jeune & Jolie' comes out on bluray in the UK Monday...

2 blind buys for the weekend. :)

'Blue Is The Warmest Colour' and 'The Counsellor' (Extended Cut) for me this weekend.

...just arrived from Amazon UK so will be giving them a spin this weekend :)
