Saturday Night Fever (30th Anniversary Special Collector's Edition)
Date undefinedProbably the first time since the 70's (at a drive-in no less) since I've sat through this entire movie, and man it couldn't have looked and sounded this good back then, not even close. Gorgeous video remastering without a blemish in sight and colors spot-on with a new 5.1 remixing of the original audio soundtrack. Concerning the movie itself, if you took all the dated clothes, dance styles, and music out of it, there really is a great coming-of-age/hard luck story in here that to me seemed timeless. I watched it with this version's new "70's Discopedia [aka subtitle trivia track]" and found it entertaining and very informative on facts of the era. This new version keeps the director commentary from the last DVD version, but now adds a new 56 minute documentary featuring most of it's actors (no Travolta, strange for him) today, including the Bee Gees and even Troma Horror producer favorite Lloyd Kaufman (who I had no idea was the film's location scout). But this already full DVD had two more related extras, a too-long "teach you to dance" with instructors and an animated version that replaces the "VH1 Special" and the 4 minutes of deleted scenes that the earlier release had. To lose those deleted scenes for that animated one was really stupid and not worth it, but whatcha gonna do. Also, the packaging is a tad odd, with a plastic slipcover surrounding a half-digipak of sorts that doesn't hold it in place very well, sliding out the second you hold it upright, but looking groovy nonetheless. Watching this today, I found it hard to believe I was actually alive during this time-period (be it in single-digits), but instantly it took me back to those days when my parents dressed me in those god-awful shirts and polyester slacks. A must own for any collector of time-period piece DVD's, and though it's case is a bit off, this version so far is the ultimate for any standard-definition home library.
