    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: North by Northwest (50th Anniversary Edition) [Highly Recommended]

    I had another look at North by Northwest this evening with eyes that weren't so strained as last time. This time I also looked at other parts of the image. Does look very sharp! In the crop dusting sequence, you can see, the first aerial shot as the bus enters and exits the shot, the foreground...

    Thanks guys. I never said the darkness of the image was wrong. Or that the BD wasn't a faithful rendering of the original film experience. I think the blu ray is an excellent release and I am very happy to see it this way! And I didn't think the color of the bus that Hicthcock misses is wrong...

    I wanted to follow-up a comment I made in an earlier post and see what you think. I said I wasn't that impressed with the blu-ray at first. I've seen the film many, many times going back to the MGM laserdisc, the first blu rays and now the BD. Each improves on the other. It's one of my favorite...

    I didn't see this issue you're discussing. I can look again. I compared the first scene on the very first DVD of NxNW to the BD and the fine lines on Grant's suit in the scene in the cab, (Say, do I look heavy-ish to you? Think thin..) Those lines were smearing all over! On the BD, they where...

    You should see how tanned Grant is in To Catch a Thief.

    I got an email confirmation for my pre-order of NxNW at Best Buy, so it worked with the price locked in at $20 before tax. My first time doing this! And I see that Mike's Bargain page shows Best Buy selling it at $24 as you guys said it would be. And I check Amazon and they dropped it to...

    Okay, pre-ordered at BB. First time I ever did this at BB. Now I hope they will actually have it in-stock on Tuesday! Waiting now for confirmation email that it is in stock for pick-up.

    I'm going to gamble that Best Buy will retain that sale price for North by Northwest till next week. If they don't have that price in the store, I'll have them match their web page price, which they've done for me before. The other option is to pre-order it from the BB web site for in-store...

    Travis, did you see an advanced copy of the BB weekly ad? I am gambling this web price/sale price will still be in effect next week. They have matched the website price for me at the store.

    Great review, I like the extras included that are new. Out of curiosity, I checked the Best Buy price after looking at the price from the link above to Amazon. The Amazon price as of today is $24, a really good price. But Best Buy's site lists the blu ray on sale for $20.99. Hopefully the...
