The Wizard Of Oz [Blu-ray] [1939] [Region Free]

Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary Special Edition is brilliant. The Picture is as clear and bright as any new movie recorded in HD, let alone a movie made 75 years ago. The sound clear and crisp in DTS, I heard comments and sounds I have never heard before the sound is so clear on my cinema system. The package is two discs, one of which contains hours of extras before you reach the six! yes six, different versions of the Wizard of Oz they have included on the extras disc. These include silent and black and white versions, non of them any newer than 1933. But they are a spectacle worth watching. Some are clear and look remastered, some are rough but still watchable. What a great find, highly recommend if you like this movie.

The greatest film ever made, bar none. It might not be the intellectual choice, but I've bought this so many times over the years (is it nine or is it ten?) that it would be silly to give the honour to anything else. The new version, rather like the version of It's A Wonderful Life which was issued around the same time, is not so much better, but rather it's different to the previous Blu-ray Ray. The problem, and the unavoidable truth, is that once you put your Blu-ray copy into a good upscaling 4k machine, you have to be sat pretty close to the tv to even notice a difference.Maybe if you have a screen that's got a six foot or more diagonal then you'll welcome the extra pixels, but on my 55 inch set I genuinely don't think I've gained anything. After all, unless I'm very badly informed, don't cinemas screen movies using Blu-ray discs? And you don't hear people walking out complaining that they could have done with a shaper picture.But that's not what all this is about, is it? The 4k revolution, much like the movement from vinyl to CDs, is more to do with the film companies needing an excuse to sell us our favorite films over and over again. And we fall for it every time.So if you don't own a copy of Oz, then why not? And you need to buy one, whether it's this or any other. But if you already have it, then whether you get it depends entirely on whether you have twenty pounds to burn.Either way, it's always going to be a five star review for a five star movie.
