Don't get the 2007 DVD, get the 2001 version


Just a warning, a great film deserves a great DVD but the 2007 edition will bolex you over, it doesn't even have a menu never mind special features and the sound is bad.

the 2007 one, one the other hand, is more f'cking like it

If you haven't got the Special 20th Anniversary Edition (steelbook case, includes two discs, two badges and a CD of the film score) - get that. :)

Surprised there's not more threads about the recent Blu-ray re-release. I couldn't get the steel case one but got the standard box Blu-ray. The opening scene is great...but then there's some really grainy scenes like when Monty first arrives at Crow Crag, probably because it's dark light. But it looks like someone turned up the sharpness in Photoshop too much and it was a bit grainy.

I orrften listen to the CD soundtrack in the car...hang out the stare in Indiana...but it's just crying out for a few lines from the film but doesn't have any. Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day...
