Anyone think we've heard the last of BBM as far as DVD's go.

Are we stuck with what we got?  Any reason to be optimistic we might get one with deleted scenes and commentary or is this a done deal.  I see Ang Lee is busy with two other film projects so I guess he has moved on. :(

You never know - it took several years for the longer version of Dances With Wolves to make it onto DVD.

Do you know how many 'editions' of "The Wizard Of Oz" have been released since it's first appearance (I believe in 1980)?   Classic Movies never go out of style, they are just approached from some different angle.  I currently own 4 on VHS and 2 on DVD and I don't have them all.  The last "4 Disc Collectors Edition" on DVD was awesome.  And that was in October of 2005!  And if BBM is not a True Classic, than I don't know what would be constituted as one.   There's a lot of money to be made from the diehard fans of a film.  AND BBM is that kind of film.  According to "A Groundbreaking Success" which is on Collectors Disc 1, BBM brought in 180 million dollars worldwide.  And that was before the 'Collectors Edition' was released.

peace :)

Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

I'm secretly hoping for a Criterion edition.  That would be sweet! I'm sure they would pay Ang Lee the two hours it takes to make a commentary track. (Hell, that's something even Heath might consider).  If Ang still won't make one then I'm sure they could find some film expert who would be happy to oblige.

Criterion did a great job with My Own Private Idaho and it came out 14 years after the movie was first released.
