Welcome home, Robin Hood...great post and you'll learn to ignore Jimbo quickly. It's funny the 1977 one looks better than the 1997 one to me. Granted the image is sharper, but the colors are way to dark and filtered looking. I will certainly admit the new one looks best of all being sharp, but with those awful colors fixed. Great comparison though, and if the movie is going to butchered to oblivion it might as well look good.
