Where is The Deer Hunter? (1 Viewer)

I finally caved and bought the region A&B UK edition of this (after holding out for a year waiting for an announcement), given it has pretty outstanding reviews on the video side and a Cimino commentary. If it gets a US release with different features, I'll get that as well. This was out on HD-DVD years ago, but Universal can't see to release it on Blu-ray in the US? Better yet, they release it in Europe, but not here?


Let's see, best picture, best supporting actor, best director, etc., etc. Great Vilmos Zsigmond cinematography. Probably wouldn't sell.


Knock, knock, Universal, anyone home? Are the lights on?

This screen grab actually looks pretty good:

Personally, I hate the cover art, but oh well:

You're right, the cover art sucks.

BD release decisions are hard to understand, at best.


I still have my HD DVD release and will happily hang on to it for a while.
