Help: looking for... 'The Big Blue' - US version — Page 3

Hey film_fan, I haven’t had any luck with this. The archivist I connected with said the same thing as others about it not being available. I personally only have a digitized version of the VHS. But I’d really love to find an HD digital version.

Agreed! So good. And so rare to find folks who know/care about this. I’m going to try reaching out to some film archive folks…

If you have any luck, please let me know. I’ve been seeking this cut for years. My VHS copy bit the dust a long time ago and I’m just not a fan of the extended version with the Serra soundtrack. I guess that’s because my entire experience had always been with the US release.
I just sat and listened to the Conti theme half a dozen times in a row. To me, it’s pure magic with that black and white opening sequence. It just conveys a completely different vibe. The only place I could find it was YouTube…supposedly the full Conti soundtrack is available at mp3mixx.com for $3.30, but you have to use a credit card and the minimum buy is $30. The site isn’t well reviewed in terms of web safety, which is unfortunate. Blows my mind that the soundtrack was never released on CD. 😦

“Well if it isn’t the little Frenchman. How is the little Frenchman?”

Does anyone have a copy of the Big Blue US version on DVD or available for download? I saw this movie in the theater in the 80s and loved it. I had the directors cut DVD but I didn’t like that version. Thank you!

I’m looking for a DVD or a download of the US version also. Thank you for your help!

i can demux the 5.1 audio from the MKV file i got here from rutracker and dropbox / upload it to you DJ but FYI if your at rutracker it’s listed under

<span style=“font-family: Tahoma;”><span style=“color: gray;”><span style=“line-height: normal; font-size: 16px;”>Le Grand bleu / The Big Blue (edited version)</span></span></span>

<span style=“font-family: Tahoma;”><span style=“color: gray;”><span style=“line-height: normal; font-size: 16px;”>and the Bill Conti score track is audio track 4 (the first two being Russain dubs and track 3 being a hybrid of US cut with Eric Serra score)</span></span></span>

I am a massive fan of this film and have multiple DVD and Blu-ray editions of this as well as Laserdiscs, posters and the soundtracks (both Serra and Conti) so if anyone needs anything, give me a shout. I would love to see a 1080p custom Blu-ray of this to complete my collection

I saw your comment on The Big Blue American version with Bill Conti soundtrack which I prefer to the Eric Sierra’s. I would like to know how I can get the movie file you mentioned something about the movie with different audio tracks having the Bill Conti on the audio track 4. I have been looking for this version for years. Please help me. BTW I am writing from Thailand. Thank you.
