It's been years since I've seen it, but it's one of those that I really remember! .....GREAT movie, but sad!!

Any chance for an SE or re-release? ...I think the only feature is a trailer.

Just like to hear some opinions on this.

How is the transfer?
5.1 sound?

Thanks for any info / advice!

Don't know anyhing about a re-release, but one is definately welcomed. The current release is not onlybare-bones, but it is a flipper as well. :(

Great movie, definately warranting a SE reissue.

Woody Allen is one of those directors who don't like delving into his movies. The movie is the movie, so this is probably all that will be released.

...ahh... I think the original poster was talking about the 1996 Barry Levinson movie Sleepers starring Kevin Bacon, Robert de Niro, Dustin Hoffman et al. - and, yes, it is very dramatic and sad...

Woody Allen's 1973 Sleeper is a comedy - and one of his funniest at that!

The retail price on the flipper version is pretty low, but the disc is barebones AND a flipper. I caved in and bought it, but I would like an SE re-release on a dual-layered disc.

As for the video and audio they are both pretty stellar. I'd give the video an A-/B+ and the audio an A. But I'm sure the video could be improved upon in addition to being put on one side of a disc. Plus Levinson could provide an audio commentary and I'm sure there's got to be some promotional pieces, interviews with the cast, deleted scenes, etc.
