I love the NYR!...
But I must say, I wasn't a great fan of it either when I first watched it about 10 years or so ago but, every time I re-watch it, it just seems to get better!
I've bought numerous editions of this film now, including the 1st Shameless DVD release - but not the Fan Edition or BD - so can't comment on those, but did pick up the BU BD - which, I thought had stunning picture quality!
