Let me preface this by saying that Warner is my favorite company for dvd's.I drool over every announcement of a two disc special edition and have bought the majority of them.They get a lot of my dvd cash, hell I even like the cool cardboard snapper cases( just picked up Blow-Up with the eye candy red,black and white cover sans plastic glare).Lately they seem to be heading down the quantity over quality road.Maybe I have been spoiled by such wonderful transfers of such films as -The Bad and the Beautiful, Now,Voyager,The Women,Robin Hood-but my recent purchase of The Postman Always Rings Twice was very disappointing .The vertical tear that seemed to go on forever was really bogus for a twenty dollar purchase.I read lots of reviews for the other films in this wave and the overall opinion seemed to be there was not much restoration done.I know that it`s expensive but the films were paid for a long time ago .I would have bought Grand Hotel ,Goodbye Mr.Chips,Mutiny on the Bounty in a heartbeat if they had of put some money into them but not now . Release them slower with full restoration and I will continue to support Warners classic catalogue .What do you guys think?
