how is the transfer on Ghostbusters 2, Cliffhanger, and Jumanji?
I'm thinking about picking these up since Bestbuy has them for $7.99. Are they worth it? Is the transfer good for todays standards?

Yeah, for $8 they are definiely worth it. Ghostbusters 2 looks great, as does Jumanji though I don't know about Cliffhanger. The only problem is that Ghostbusters 2 has no supplements aside from trailers but Jumanji has a decent collection. Otherwise, these are definitely worth it.

The commentary on Jumanji is pretty boring. It's only the SFX crew and I usually enjoy such stuff, but not this one. If it were dropped for say, a Superbit release, I would have no qualms about upgrading.

not to mention, Ghostbusters 2 only got stereo surround.... yup, no good ol' 5.1
pisture wise, they're good. not great... but good enough considering this was an early release from Sony
i think Cliffhanger was pretty ok too... nothing to be brag about, they're ok. again, sound is so-so...
haven't seen Jumanji yet...

Cliffhanger R2
If you really want to buy a decent Cliffhanger DVD, I think you should prefer Momentum's R2 release. It's anamorphic, it has lot's of extras and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound.
You can find it on blackstar.co.uk.

Eh? Cliffhnger is a Columbia release... did they ever release nonanamorphic DVDs? Not to mention, the english DVD is cut by over a minute.
But keeping with the multiregion thing; Jumanji is a superbit in Japan.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
In either case, i have the R3 Cliffhanger 2 disc and it has DTS and all the extras. Very good quality for a 10 year old movie. I still remember the first time i saw this. Crazy.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I pity you
The funny thing is that we're both in agreement, you just aren't reading my post correctly. I hate england's censorship laws just like you do. I'm complaining about the rediculous rules in england that forbid headbutting and nunchucks. There rules are just rediculous
