I took advantage of that smokin' deal on the Bond BD's at Thanksgiving. Awesome looking/sounding discs considering how old these movies are!
Just as with Sleeping Beauty, it blows my mind to think that the presentation we get off BD in our dedicated theaters is superior to the presentation anybody saw in commercial theaters when the movies were new. Imagine the crudeness of the mono analog sound track in 1962 when Dr. No was in the theaters. Now, we get to hear it in DTS-HD Master Audio...
Man, what a cool time to be into home theater!!!

I agree SC. The colours in Sleeping Beauty just blow me away each time the kids want to watch it. We watched Pinnochio on Blu-ray last week too and had the same experience. It's much older too (1940). It's amazing how they've gone through frame by framed and fixed the colour timings and any dirt/noise without losing any detail. It certainly looks a lot better today (or more correctly: more 'accurate' today) than it ever did in theaters back in 1940!

I have very vivid memories of seeing Thunderbolt in 1965, my dad took me to see it at the State Theater in downtown South Bend. Pretty risky movie for an 8 year old, perhaps its one reason I'm a liberal It was my first grown up movie, I haven't watched from start to finish since. Wasn't there a shot where a guy gets shot with a harpoon right thew his arm? I thought that was sooo gross.
