Surprised no one has mentioned the atrocity that was The French Connection when first released to BD. Thankfully that was rectified on a later edition.

Did Fincher supervise the colour timing of Seven/Fight Club for BD? I know the Seven DVD was carefully re-timed but I thought it was under Fincher's supervision (after all he is quite the notorious perfectionist).

Finally, The Godfather series was re-timed for the Coppola restoration. But apparently none of us saw how it was supposed to look, at least on home video since every previous home video release was mastered from terrible prints.

Fincher supervised them, but they are digital recreations of the chemical effect, and while they are the best the films have looked at home they are not 100% accurate.

Se7en actually looked closer on the Criterion LD as they used a silver retention print for the scan, but obviously the colour space and resolution are way off.
