Oh wow E.T. on Blu-Ray! I'm glad Spielberg is using the theatrical cut. It ought to look fantastic especially for lovers of that movie. With luck, Jaws will come soon too; I know it's already in the works.

Raiders is being done by the same outfit that did Gladiator (the remaster, not the original), Saving Private Ryan, and Minority Report. All are stunning on Blu-ray.

I have very high hopes for Indiana Jones on Blu-ray, and unlike another upcoming release, I'll be buying the set on day one, whenever that is.

Out of curiosity, Jay, where did you find the information about Raiders being done by that outfit? In any case, that's fantastic news! Does that mean that the relatively new and unreleased-to-DVD transfer (which restored the non-CGI cliff) made for digital broadcast will not be used for the Blu-Ray? Whatever transfer used, theatrical versions of the Indy movies equals a first-day purchase for me. Hopefully, no wires (or reflections) are fixed, as promised.
