    I like that movie a lot...but honestly, I think it is highly overrated.

    Besides music, one of my major hobbies is classic film, and I am a long-time classic film collector and TCM junkie. And while CK is a great movie, I can think of several that I think are better.

    Plus, I'm not sure that blu-ray is going to do much for many classic films. I mean, it's not like any of the source material for these films is HD..... We might get a very small improvement...but not enough to repurchase the film again.....

    I've always wonder about how much hey can improve on older films

    I've never seen it.
    But having watched some scenes on youtube and read about it on wikipedia it looks like worth a viewing.

    Same here. I've only sat down and watched it once, and while I enjoyed it, I didn't see what all the fuss was about. I think maybe the monstrous amount of hype the film has just set me up to be somewhat disappointed. But Chinatown had a similar amount of hype, and when I finally got around to watching it about a year ago I wasn't disappointed.

    They definitely can. It's analog converted to digital, rendered at either 480i (DVD) or 1080p (Blu-ray). Older films may not look as sharp as newer films, but there are definite improvements. See the Wizard of Oz.


    Example.. http://www.hifi-writer.com/he/bdreviews ... comp03.jpg

    The left image is DVD, the right is blu-ray. It looks less blurry, but grainier, but still more clarity.

    this film is nowhere near my top movies of all time list and i've seen it 3 times ... but i can see how it makes the top simply because of its innovation at the time (although i think he was inspired by the german filmmakers then) ...

    I really like the movie. It has to be one of first to end without the cliched 'happy ending'.
