Reviewed on 2008-07-05 No one puts baby in a corner I love this film and this disc, which looks great on my very good HD projector. I don't get why the stars are not listed in the Amazon info, though, and why the older, 2000 dvd is labeled blu-ray. I was right outa college in 1963, and summered in a similar place. The spirit and sound of the film are period perfect. Swayze and Grey are a perfect film couple; they are sympathetic characters with great chemistry. The standard Hollywood conventions and devices mount up by the end, spoiling the "willing suspension of disbelief". For a while, though, you can forget this is a Hollywood movie. Regardless of its increasing implausibility as the film barrels along, I still felt tears well up at the finale.

Reviewed on 2008-02-16 Cleaner, but disappointing This is one of my favorite movies, so of course I had to buy it on Blu-Ray. However, the image quality is disappointing. It looks cleaner than the DVD version, but not up to par with available Blu-Ray movies from the same era, such as: First Blood, or even Enter the Dragon. This image quality also has aliasing on it. That is pathetic. I was also interested in the Blu-Trivia, but it wasn't that interesting. I distracted too much from the movie and was boring information, most of which wasn't anything that you couldn't easily find out if you wanted to. I watched this on a PS3, so I'm not sure if it is PS3 specific or not; but while watching special features, I couldn't go to the menu. I had to skip to the end of the special to reach it.

Reviewed on 2007-08-23 How NOT to master a bluray I had high hopes for this Bluray as I love this movie. I figured a new AVC transfer would bring this disk back to life after suffering the SD DVD bad transferrs I already have. It was not to be. The movie is soft and washed out. There has been a large amount of electronic grain reduction undertaken that has bascially destroyed the PQ by sofetning the entire image and crushing the blacks in some scenes to the point where the picture look posterized. While still better than a DVD it is a disaster. Lionsgate should chastised for failing to use this bluray as an opportunity to present this movie as it should have been. If you take a look at the deleted scenes, you will see how good the transfer could have been. These are much better than the movie itself as the intense video processing to remove grain hasnt been done. Liongate, You wrecked this movie and are now on my watch list for future transfers which I have to investigate closely before spending my money on your product. You should be ashamed. On an up side note. The Audio quality is excellent with the PCM sound track. It worked first time in my Samsung 1200 Bluray player.

Reviewed on 2007-06-02 Dvd does not work Dvd does not work in my samsung blu-ray player..... Just keeps trying to load... Very disappointed. Would have order a replacement, but saw that somebody else had the same issue. So why bother. JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHO HAD THIS PROBLEM THAT THE DVD DOES WORK. YOU HAVE TO GO TO SAMSUNG'S WEBSITE AND DO THE UPDATE FOR YOUR BLU-RAY PLAYER. AFTER WE DID THE UPDATE BLU-RAY DVD WORKED GREAT.
