    Great film, but I'm not sure I could sit through it in a theater without an intermission. My attention span is ok, it's my sitting-on-my-arse span that suffers.

    A couple years ago Best Buy was getting rid of all its Superbit dvd titles for $9.99. I picked up LoA. It looks great, although I'm sure the blu-ray will be even better.

    Great movie, maybe I'll go see it in the theaters if I get pushed but as for the blu-ray goes, I'm not sure if I would buy a copy in a hurry!!... I have some of the (Superbit & Superbit Deluxe) titles myself, and Lawrence of Arabia is an outstanding copy in widescreen presentation at 227 Mins. in DDS/DTS 5.1 Audio,

    also (Das Boot the director's cut, and Mel Gibson "The Patriot) all great Superbit collection,

    Pepper Adams-Baritone Sax
    Herbie Mann-Flute
    Bill Evans-Piano
    Paul Chambers-Bass & Connie Kay-Drums

    Thanks guys

    Well guys, if you are planning to watch it in theaters, you only get one shot at it which is thursday the Oct 4th. I can't go since have to work thursday night

    I have the earlier version two disc DVDs and it look pretty good and I imagine it look even better on Superbit. Probably Bluray version will have a killer picture quality after studio went thru all the trouble restoring it.
