That's the main reason why I bought that last Jaws release. So glad I did-the mono track really sounds good! I held off because I thought there would be a better one and refused that awful 5.1 remix. Why do they think that older films need new sound effects?

The latest releases of the Bond films thankfully included original audio for almost all of the films (except LALD and TSWLM for some strange reason) plus Dolby and DTS mixes and any foreign dubs. The studios are finally starting to realize that people appreciate original mixes.

Major Dundee has the original mono and the reconstruction's new 5.1 score-wish MGM had done the same for their Extended version of The Good The Bad and The Ugly. That new 5.1 mix is just about the worst I have ever heard next to the 04 SW mix. Like that mix it completely goes against the intentions of the original mix. At least they included the original mono for Fistful and For a Few.

Mad Max should only be watched with the original Australian track. Screw the English dub-it really sucks. Same with Hard Boiled, original Cantonese is so much better-but no one can ever do a proper subtitle translation (or a proper transfer for that matter).
