  It's a shame this release had the extras cut, but it's a great price for a classic film.

  Good film........
  but a serious question ......is the extra for a blue ray disc worth it rather than a DVD? ie. on my set up a DVD looks a perfect picture to me......... I would honestly like to know what all the hype about blue-ray is about? Thanks

  Great film, often credited as being the best script ever written.

  One of the greatest American movies of the 1970's, right up there with Godfather and Nashville. Well worth getting.

  Watch out, the British release has been slated for being poorer quality than the American release, both in visual terms and extras. I think the American one is region free. I almost bought it last month but the reviews put me off.

  The Quintessential film noir.
  
  However I'm still dubious about getting very old films (and TV series) in Bluray vs DVD. Is it really worth it?

  No extras unlike the US one but this film is a classic. Blu-ray has far better picture and audio compared to the DVD of course.

  Pretty good film, funny enough saw it for the 1st time last week. This gave JN the big time status.

  It depends on sitting distance relative to screen size. I think there is a big difference, sitting at around 8 foot from a 50". To notice 720p on a 32" set it is best sitting less than 10", for 1080p you will need to be around 5-6".
  
  I know a lot of people who buy a 26-32" TV, then sit 14 foot away and say HD is overrated. Probably because no one would be able to tell a difference at that range.

  Almost always. If it's from a 4k scan and not had loads of edge enhancement or digital noise reduction then you can't really go wrong. If it has then it's a disappointment but it will still usually have advantages over it's DVD counterpart.
  
  I have this one at home, I can't say I've gone over it with a fine tooth comb but I was pleased with the picture quality. £6 isn't to be scoffed at.

  I get the apprehension of buying blue ray and the quality issue. The exact same thing happened with DVD. film companies started throwing all their old catalogues onto DVD with no quality control. Read the reviews from the geeks and make your choices, I bought the back to the future trilogy a couple of weeks ago and its like seeing the film for the first time. The right kind of transfer can cause a profound emotional reaction. If you're serious about your films then buy it. If you know your Dolby digital from your DTS HD then you'll appreciate the better quality.
