    Well, Apocalypse Now might still be cropped to 2:1 if the DP had his way, so I’ll take this reality where AN is 2.35:1 and the 4K Godfathers are what they are rather than the other way around. The 2008 Blu-rays are on my shelf and now I can wait for a good sale before I contemplate getting the...

    Give me someone who hasn't seen The Godfather and without hesitation I'll tell them to see this latest version on the big screen over watching the 2008 Blu-rays at home.

    Well, we know what the future holds for YOU with regards to the Corleone family! ;) But on a more serious note, I definitely get what you are saying and can't argue against that.

    I would have said the same about the 2007 restoration at the time, but... here we are. Who knows what the future holds? :) I will say for me this is a textbook case of "ignorance is bliss" because as previously mentioned, seeing it in Dolby Cinema was a fantastic experience, I would not pass up...

    You will get the 4K versions. I bought the Bond set and it was the same situation. Individual versions said 4K but the bundle said HD. I have them all in 4K. Also, you can always get a refund from iTunes. I bought the Connery set and then realized the complete set was a way better deal per...

    As far as I can tell, the subtitles for the iTunes versions are just generic ones that are white text with a translucent box around them ever since they switched from the 2007 versions to the 2022 versions. I have noticed this on my ATV set-top box, my computer, and my phone.

    I don’t think Coppola was involved with the production of The Sicilian in any capacity, so I’d say no.

    Boy are they proud of that particular shot from the wedding scene... That being said, I still had a blast seeing this version on the big screen and I would have been none the wiser had I never been a HTF member. That's the magic of the great movies for me. I get sucked into the plot, the...

    And of course now it's back. 🤷‍♂️ Guess we'll see what happens with that when they do the VR version where you can choose being Sonny or one of the gunmen as he's pumped full of lead.

    Dang, I think playing that last chord over the black would absolutely have worked, but the right decision was made considering the circumstances. I actually love that the Blue Danube plays to completion at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey over a black screen and that lasts for a good while (and...

    That's great news, but just wondering how that chord went missing on the 2008 blu-ray. I notice that it's not on the 5.1 or mono tracks.

    Yes, I saw it in Dolby Cinema at an AMC when they were doing the 50th Anniversary showings. Interesting about the subs being impacted by Dolby Vision...

    The subtitles were a bluish green when I saw the movie on the big screen a few weeks ago.

    Looks like the new version of GF1 is up on iTunes, but only in HD. The newer Paramount logo at the beginning is gone and the Gulf+Western logo is at the end. Unfortunately the subs are the stock player generated ones instead of the beautifully designed ones from the 07 restoration. Seems like...
