Goodfellas SE - Quick Review
I haven't seen the film since it's theatrical release so watching it last night was really a pleasure.
Overall, I'm borderline satisfied with the new release however, I thought the video would have been more cleaned-up (i.e.: Chapter 40, 5min, 6 sec. - major dirt particles). Were they present in the flipper release?
The rest of the video was fairly clean. As I didn't see the original release, I don't know if they improved the audio. This type of film didn't warrant a stellar audio track anyway.
I really enjoyed the commentary Henry Hill provided.
BTW - the least of my worries.....No insert

My biggest dissapointment in a delayed release to date is the Pulp Fiction collectors edition.

You know what the movie is, this isn't a "blind buy" for you.
This blind buy threads are so out of hand.
If you like the movie enough to want the extras buy the thing. Do you really need the opinions of strangers that much for this.

I think it's worth it to get the SE. Better picture and some cool extras, and not having to get up and flip the disc in the middle of the movie (if you have a disc changer), is enough reason for me to upgrade.

This is a must for any collection IMO.

haven't watched it yet and prob won't for a little while. i wish i could tell you. i still like to hear the experts opinions, especially DVD Talk's..they just seem so knowledgeable. Plus, how do you have a mini-review that has specific chapter stops on 8/7 and not have the full up by now?

goodfellas is a must for any dvd collection i have been holding out on buying it for the longest time because I borrowed my cousins and I hated having to flip it over plus I don't think the quality was that good on it and I knew sooner or later a new version of it would come out
