The Train will be out in BluRay on June 10. That's the good news. The Bad news is there will only be 3000 copies made. If you want the BluRay you must order through Screen Archives Entertainment. They are the only ones releasing the film. It's not yet ready for pre-order but soon. I can't wait. Don

As much as I love that movie, and it is one of the all time great train movies, I'm not sure I see the advantage of Blu-ray.

 

For me, Blu-ray is all about color. I resisted seeing Avatar in the theater, but my wife bought the Blu-ray. I was blown away!!!

 

Sorry Don, but I just don't see the value of better grays. A nice DVD of The Train would make me very happy though.

Elliot, I see your point and wondered why they would release B&W films in BluRay. Then I saw the General. It was like seeing it for the first time. As you know it's not just about grays, it's so much sharper and almost always they strike a new and better print. 

One of our favorite films is Woody Allen's "Radio Days". When we first got the DVD we were watching movies on a 35" tube set. I loved it. It's a movie we watched every few months. That was three TVs back. We have a 65 inch plasma now and the film is unwatchable. It is so compressed, things in the sky stop moving sometimes. 

Finally in July they are releasing it in Bluray and we will be able to watch it again. Don
