Well, I've thought all the Harryhausen/Columbia films have looked nice on Blu-ray, but Gulliver may just be the nicest of them all. I don't love the film, although it's certainly entertaining, but when something looks this good it adds immeasurably to the viewing experience. Great to have it.
Also checked out Nicholas Nickleby, which looks very nice and I'm interested to watch it all the way through. I spot checked The Barefoot Contessa, which I can't wait to watch all the way through. The transfer won't win any awards, but I've seen much worse - there are registration problems mostly, but the color had color and I do love Mr. Cardiff and the talking is witty and florid and fun. Matt's reviewed Stardust Memories, which looks fine. Not my favorite Woody, although I like it better now than I did back then.
The Keys of the Kingdom looks great and it's a great movie. So, of this new batch, just Bullet Train to check out - I'm kind of looking forward to that one, since I know nothing about it.
And a big five stars to The BFG, a movie that, for me, has gotten as unfairly knocked as A.I. I loved it, and the transfer is state of the art as is the sound.
