Criterion has already done some excellent work this year (Silence Of The Lambs, Night Of The Living Dead) but this is their best release so far.

Loved it, watched a few weeks back.

Kevin,

Could you check the original mono track? There have been reports that it's slightly out-of-sync.

 

[gadgtfreek]

I just realized I missed the Silence of the Lambs release, will be ordering tonight.

can't buy this 5th time. no really...

@Kevin EK - it's never too late to cover a great movie, especially when the coverage is so good!

Thanks for sharing a terrific retrospective on this film's releases and what makes Criterion's release so worthy. I'll be waiting for a sale, but plan to own this for sure.

Jeff Adkins: I've listened to multiple sections of the movie in the original mono without any trouble. I looked it up and saw that someone on another site had said they thought it was slightly off and another person said that if there was a problem it was too tiny to notice. For me, the sync looked identical to the 5.1 track - I took time switching back and forth in my recheck. What I saw was a good match of picture and sound. I've seen a situation of the sync falling out of alignment and it's not pretty. I did not see that here.

Radioman970: Something tells me you're going to be making a 5th purchase...

Nope. My finger will. I'll just be averting eyeballs to something cute my dog Scooter is doing in the corner of the room and practicing looking surprised when a box shows up in the mail.

I went to a screening of this today. It looked great. In two weeks they are showing Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
