Do The Right Thing: 2-disk 20th Anniversary Edition (6-30-09)
One of the best films of all time get a new 2-disk dvd release this June.
This is one of my favorite films. So enjoyable, funny and easy to watch no matter how many times I have seen it. I hope these are new features and not just the Criterion 2-disks extras. I would loooooove some new commentary tracks and a new full-length retrospective documentary.

I hope Universal will also be giving us new Special Editions of Jungle Fever, CLockers, Crooklyn, and Mo better Blues also. That would be awesome. I can dream...

Deep down I get what I was seeing and I liked it up until the only thing that threw me off was...
.
if you can answer that, I may just look at the film much differently. I like Spike Lee's films but that part just threw me off. Maybe I didn't listen to something around that point or literally looked away for a second too long. Gotta say that intro was pretty cool...just cool.

This is one of my top 5 favorite films. I would be hard pressed to see a reason to replace my Criterion, but if it manages to top it, I'll certainly add it to the collection

Looks like this is only missing "Introduction to the Supplements by Spike Lee", "Back to Bed-Stuy" (about 5 minutes), "Lee's Last Word" (about 6 minutes), "Fight the Power" (long version, about 7 minutes) music video with Lee's introduction and the booklet from the Criterion edition. This new SE has all the others in addition to the three major new ones (Lee's new commentary, new deleted scenes and new documentary), so this sounds like a fairly awesome package.
FYI, Universal already issued Do the Right Thing anamorphically in the Spike Lee Joint Collection with Clockers, Jungle Fever, Crooklyn and Mo Better Blues. They are flippers, though.

Those features sound Kick-ass. This looks like one of the best disks announced for this year yet.

The Criterion is fine with me. No double dip.

I have the Criterion set, which I'm definitely going to keep. I'll probably pick up the Blu-Ray release of this, though...
