Viewing Notes

I cannot imagine a movie viewing world in which this film does not exist. One of my favorite movies of all time, this was a rewatch, but on Blu-Ray for the first time ever.

The print and sound were amazing; this is the closest I can hope to come to seeing this in a theater. Eventually I’ll watch the Redux version which is also on this two-disc set, along with a bunch of extras.

If you love Blu-Ray, I highly recommend picking this up for your collection.
