Great stuff, Arrow's BD looks fantastic, I think I'm going to watch it again tonight with the Jones and Newman comm track. Disappointed by the lack of booklet! |
I remember the first time i saw it i was still at school and it was the talk of the playground the next day.
Personally, i think it's a tad over-rated these days. Everyone seems to call it a classic because that's what you do. Just below that for me, and Telly Savalas comes perilously close to de-railing it (pun intended!) IMO.
Its great that new generations of folk are discovery vintage films, but along with it comes the internet ranking phenomena. A previous beneficiary being Blood on Satan's Claw - another good film that it seems is against the law today to not think of it as a classic film.
Both good films, mind and not commenting on your views - just something i've been thinking for a while.
