Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Awesome. Sounds like the Spielberg floodgates are opening.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
I've not seen this since the orig DVD was released back in the "20th" Century. Even then, it was essential viewing. Gotta agree with <b>Kenshiro</b> on this one. This should be an amazing disc.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
day one purchase for me!
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Are they going to be remastering this a'la Minority Report? I thought that was the plan for all the Spielberg movies on BD. In any case, I hope they dont Gladiator the transfer.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
I can't imagine that would happen.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Vegas odds of bitching about the opening sequence on the internet... 6 to 5.
:p fitprod |
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Another Day One purchase for me regardless of price.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
in for day one.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Is this Spielberg approved?
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
I'll wait 'til it goes down to about $10-$12.99 like Gladiator and Braveheart did after a few months.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
This will be a def pickup for me!

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
This is one of the few titles day one pricing doesn't matter. I'll be watching it that evening. I've already purchased this movie 4 times, this will make 5:
VHS to Standard DVD to DTS DVD "upgraded" to the special box set not realizing I was losing the DTS sound. |
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Don't own this, and I've never seen it. I guess Blu-ray would be a great way to watch it for the first time.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
I got amped up enough about this to watch my SD again. I can finish it in about 45 min. fast-forwarding to my favorite spots.
|
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
I'll buy this for the DTS track alone.

I was a little disappointed that it didn't win the Oscar that year but once I watched Shakespeare in Love I could not argue that it was not worthy of the Oscar itself,that was a great movie also. |

I got the box set because it had DTS. Did they come out with more than one box set? The set I got had some other DVD with it (that I've since got rid of) and a little booklet. SPR itself was in an ammo box type of case. The identical looking case that was sold separately apart from the box set did not have DTS, only Dolby.
It had 2 other documentary titles plus the movie. I though the movie was supposed to have DTS but my copy does not. |
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
The World War II Collection set contains Saving Private Ryan with it's DTS track intact.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
I'm gonna earn this!

Well I got screwed then because mine does not have it. There is no DTS logo on the box or the disc and I just double checked the setup menu to make sure I wasn't mistaken and there is no DTS track, just DD 5.1.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
So your saying Jurassic Park is better than SPR?? I think you're gonna find yourself in the minority on that one...

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Day one purchase for me regardless of price!!!!
I disagree with above posts. SPR is a great war movie. I think it takes repeat viewings to fully grasp this movie. When i first watched it back in 99 I was like THIS IS IT!!! Great 20 minute opening and great closing but middle just seems dull and uneventful with exception of storming the radio tower. But as I watched it over few years later and seen it more times I appreciate the middle of the movie more now than just opening and closing. its about feeling and real portrayal of humanity. This could be seen in the scene where they are going through dog tags and laughing, joking, yet others are seeing this and it really makes you think that they are playing and joking around about people who died and they are gone. Another great scene is where the german soldier was digging his own grave and talking about betty grable and steamboat willie. Heck even Vin Diesel did decent in this one. Its a great story. For those who think this was or supposed to be a macho flick..it was never meant to be. The first 20 minutes show you realistic fighting and dying, yet the middle shows you realistic potrayal of humanity. Anywa...awesome flick and day one buy!!! |

I couldn't disagree more. Saving Private Ryan is a crap movie with a great opening and closing sequence. I can't believe this is coming out and Jurassic Park hasn't even been announced (different companies, I know, I know).

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
God I hope they fixed that damned opening sequence.

I think it is better. I think Supermallet is dead on WRT SPR. I think the opening is amazing, the exposition sort of blah and it picks up towards the end. Definitely not my favorite Spielberg film.
1. Jaws 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Saving Private Ryan 4. The Last Crusade 5. Catch Me If You Can |
Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
That's funny, because when I watch SPR I keep hoping all those annoying soldiers will eventually get eaten by dinosaurs, but it never happens. ;)

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Well I'll say both of those movies are on my most wanted list for Blu ray and try not to let this thread get too far off track. I think we should be careful of any threadcrapping.
Regardless of which are officially announced first I think it's obvious that Spielberg titles will be coming this year and that's good news for anyone that likes them. The last rumor of JP from DigitalBits was beginning of November. Although Hunt frequently jumps to conclusions in his reporting of rumors I think it's safe to assume that it's at least a good possibility with a few other titles already announced. |

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
I was just looking at my collection and came across this title and wondered when the Blu-Ray version was coming.
I am in! One of the best WWII movies! |
