Great flick. I have the BD release that was part of an Imprint set with a bunch of other goodies.

I've read Bill's column for like 20 years. One of the most reasonable, articular, and well-thought-of writers on film and home media. I sure hope the studios pay attention...but I kind of doubt they will.

Ironically, WARNER ARCHIVE division hits home run after home run with their 1080p restorations of older Warner Classics but fails to include any bonus material [or very scant at best]. Why Warner doesn't include DOLBY VISION remains a mystery but their 4K discs aren't bad, IMO, at all, except they should utilize the larger 4K capacity discs for improved bit ratio!

DISNEY which now controls the 20th Century Fox catalogue, OTOH, is downright lacking!

I don't disagree. I have hundreds (I am not exaggerating) of Warner Archive releases (though most are DVD). Warner always seemed to me to be the doing the best by its archive material, out of the Big Five.

I'm pretty sure it was only Disney that refuses to use Dolby Vision, but if you told me it was both, I wouldn't be surprised.

Sorcerer, To Live and Die in LA and Bug were awesome. On the bright side, now we might get a 4K French Connection with all the colour restored like when the Kube died and then Clockwork Orange was finally available.

Possession (1981) 4K available for preorder now: Possession Collector's Edition (1981) (4K UHD +Blu-Ray +Rigid Case +Slipcase +Book +Artcards +Poster) (1981)

Too darn expensive for moi though. Around $90 NZD (with a 15% discount) which is enough to give you a subway freak-out so I'll be sticking with my BD release.

Great flick though. Isabelle Adjani nails it.

[4-earredwonder]

IMO, one of the GREAT HBO series of the late 90's and early 00's on sale at AmazonUS for $60 ..... 18 disc set includes the two SEX AND THE CITY Movies! All have been remastered in WIDESCREEN and include DTS~HD 5.1 soundtracks [some are in Dolby TRUE HD 5.1] From WARNER BROTHERS HOME VIDEO

That's $3.33 per disc
