Reddit mentions of The Sound of Music (45th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD Combo Limited Edition)

I'm not too adventurous unless it concerns things I love. But it would be something to put on the "mantelpiece". Although I am willing to go all out for something with swag, the most "swagtastic" thing I've boughten was a gift to my father.

To expand on The Wizard of Oz, they released it on Blu Ray in 2009 with an entirely new HD transfer from the original negatives, definitely give it go even if you already have the 2005 remaster! There's also a really big edition that even comes with a watch lol. The new DVD edition is just the 2005 remaster again though.
The Sound of Music has a really nice HD release too, but it was filmed on 70mm and in good condition, so they didn't have to do that much to make it look good. It's also got a bigger box set version, but no watch lol. Both have an incredible amount of special features. I can't really think of another musical release that was as big a deal as these two, but if I do I'll just edit this post.

My Fair Lady's DVD is great because it lets us hear Audrey's actual singing on a couple songs, I'm hoping they'll have it as an audio track option on the upcoming Blu Ray. Singin' in the Rain is getting a big release next year, and an anniversary edition of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory later this month, something to look forward to.


I don't know if these releases changed anything or not, but they're sure awesome editions. I kind of think the success of the Wizard of Oz big set inspired the Sound of Music, Willy Wonka, and other big sets, but I can't say for sure.

The Sound of Music is $37 on Amazon Prime if that is your kind of thing.

(the box sets are usually only a little bit more than the movie themselves, and come with beautiful picturebooks. those old movies filmed on 70mm film look amazing.)
