I do declare, doesn't this 1939 film look dashing wrapped up in its new set of Blu-ray Discs - its 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition, to be precise.

I'll spare you my memories of when I first saw The Wizard of Oz - you'll hear plenty of that malarkey in the many documentaries here - and just cut to the chase by saying that this is a stupendous-looking transfer on Blu-ray Disc, in honor of the Hollywood classic's 70th anniversary.
Call me crazy, but I couldn't help seeing Coraline as an indictment of capitalism.

Criterion's 1999 DVD edition of The Seventh Seal is a favorite partly because of its wonderfully substantial extras. Now the company has upped the ante by releasing Ingmar Bergman's 1957 black-and-white classic on a stunning Blu-ray Disc and adding to those extras, all now in high-def.
