Gone with the Wind [70th Anniversary Edition] [Blu-ray] [1939]

The digital restoration of this movie is good and of course this is a classic movie that withstands the passing of time.

Didn't check the case before I brought it home and opened it...went to play it and found 2 spots damaged so it would not play. Case was broken...should have checked before oowning and will be returning it. First time this has happened with a DVD I bought here.

An old classic beyound classic. A depiction of history during the Civil War wonderfully made movie. Gotta watch it. keep an open mind. 

Gone With the Wind offers both the original mono track as well as a repurposed Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mix, which is rather conservative in its surround ambitions, but which cleans and clarifies the source material rather dramatically at times. A lot of purists decry these surround reimaginings, but I have a hunch few will argue about the propriety of this particular renovation. Dialogue is almost inescapably in the front center channel. Surround channels kick in where you'd expect them to, in such bombastic segment as the Civil War battles. Steiner's score typically also fills all the channels. I was rather impressed with the opening up of the sound itself. Too often Dolby tracks, even lossless high def iterations, sound to me like they're overly compressed, especially on the high end. You'll notice quite a bit more hiss on the mono track, but that noise reduction in the TrueHD track does not mean a loss of the high end, which is to be lauded. This is a subtly repurposed 5.1 mix that preserves the front and center soundfield of the original soundtrack while gently nudging it into the surround channels at appropriate times. While even the TrueHD re-do can't completely overcome the technical limitations of the original recordings (you'll hear this in the somewhat boxy sound of the music mostly), this is really quite an excellent upgrade that should delight even the most discriminating listener.

One of the best realistic historical films ever made Phenomenal cast acting and gut wrenching realism Blu ray brings the colors to life Simply outstanding

The classic movie where Rhett Butler just doesn't give a ****! See it in all of it's 1930's glory! With Vivian Leigh and Hattie McDaniel (The 1st African-American woman to win an Academy Award!!!!) Warning, this movie does not contain 1000 elephants!

Ok this is going to be to the point as Gone With The Wind is a well known film. What I want to talk about is the quality of the bluray. Picture and sound are amazing This is an old movie but it looks fantastic and really sounds great as well also I have viewed the new bluray that came out not too long ago of this film and as far as I can tell the transfers are the same and I really was looking if there is a difference i can not see it on the screen at all. If you love or like this movie it is worth it Until a 4k transfer of this film from the original camera negative is out on the market this is the best there is for this film for home consumption.

This may be an oldie but it's a fantastic movie even after all these years. I can remember watching this with my mother and now being able to share this with my college age children and hope that they will one day pass on to their children. There are many good movies being made today, but let's not forget what came before and this is no exception. This is a quality DVD on BluRay with excellent color and tone. Not to mention a very good price from Best Buy, plus they will match any price you find, so it's a win-win. Thanks Best Buy for another great deal from a very happy customer!
