It's a fantastic set but it's sad they didn't get the archival versions exactly right in how they're supposed to look, here is some of the worst examples.

Glad I got my 1997 DVD when it was first released. It's interesting how many movies have been misrepresented from their theatrical releases - all in the name of marketing and technology-testing.

At this point, I'm going to always go to screen capture comparison sites prior to making any new purchases. Fortunately, I already have most everything I'm interested in watching. With current and future films, my only choice may be buy or not buy. At least with films from the 60s, 70s, and 80s I can buy early DVDs that hadn't been improved yet. Same with over-compressed music CDs and the loudness wars.

Might be time for me to start hitting ebay & Amazon for extra copies of the ones I'm happy with.
