FMJ may not drop any jaws but it's a different perspective on war altogether, souped up and served Kubrick-style  nod.gif

Saving Ryan's Privates, ooops, I meant Saving Private Ryan goes without saying. AQ is reference material right? I found The Thin Red Line and Platoon a bit too dreary for my liking.

I've got Patton BD but yet to find the mood to really sit and watch it. Am sure it'll be great.  nod.gif

I had the two-disc version DVD... and I can guranteed you... it's one of the best historical war figure drama movie of its time. George C. Scott best performance ever! thumbup.gif

If you expect lots of war action ~ well, there isn't much in it. Its more of a performance character acting class that makes this movie worth-while watching.

Ah... wish I could say the same for Korean War Films. There is not much BD versions for them (I missed out Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War BD, but the supplements was not as good as the one I had for the Korean version steelbox edition).

The much recent Korean war drama ~ 71: Into the Fire was one of the best Korean War film I have watched ever!

Ah, talking bout The Thin Red Line. Received The Thin Red Line today. Should have asked me for it.
Bought it through a friend. He bought it from Barnes&Noble and sent it over.

The DVD was "cheng". Its worth upgrading to BD. thumbup.gif

The Sound Of Music had the grains washed out completely, but it looks great for a movie released in 1960's. There are no other examples i could remember of, if i do, i let you know. I'm more concerned on some Hindi titles which has grains washed out, but looks blurry and its too bright tongue.gif
Agree..

Bro,

Appreciate your lengthy attempt at justifying your earlier comment.

Yes, I've seen pics of your home theater set up which you have posted and I'd say it's one of the best (if not the best) that I've seen in the thread so far. And for that I give you this -  notworthy.gif

True but,

I guess you haven't had chance to watch The Sound Of Music? Not giving you example based on 1 particular title tho, but personally i feel the PQ is excellent and the colors are restored in a very fine manner. The audio clarity is good as well.

I must say this is a film i've seen (probably) w/o grain present looks great on BD. Not an expert, but commenting based on experience.
TSOM was an exception to the rule tongue.gif I am also waiting for the price to drop more post Christmas to grab biggrin.gif

On the other hand, BTTF was more disappointing to the critics which I dropped the idea to buy after reading the reviews comparing with the DVD releases.

So what's the big deal with criterion???

As it been said earlier, not all classics turn out the be excellent release. Zulu one of it, the next i know TSOM, The Bridge On The River Kwai (probably). Any you can name? Blade Runner of course..anything else you guys wanna add.

Identify the reference quality classics on BD.

Blade Runner's transfer was immaculate. Also got North by Northwest on my radar. Cinema Paradiso is UK Region Free version right? If i'm not mistaken it's not the director's cut version of it. hmm.gif

From what I've watched so far, I'd say Zulu. nod.gif

Perhaps Criterion's release of Seven Samurai will upstage that. Anyone has that one already?

Have you watched the The Bridge On The River Kwai? Intend to get it but it's kinda pricey at the moment.

Lawrence of Arabia would be another epic not to missed on blu-ray nod.gif
