Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Just watched the 35mm version, and it was great! I really hope they can get the other print scanned so that it can be filled in, cleaned and polished.
What is the difference between that and the original? I could have sworn there were screenings of TFA that were in 35mm.
That is the original. A scan of a 1982 35mm LPP was done and was released on the spleen. None of the digital home video releases to this date represent the original version of the film.
I definitely see why someone would covet this. It’s like owning the original Mona Lisa or Girl With A Pearl Earring.
EDIT: Also, what on Earth does TFA having a 35mm release have anything to do with a film from 1981?
Because if memory serves TFA and the 35mm version of Raiders is of the same print/scan…
Say what now?
…and that was the first time I had ever heard of a 35mm film.
You’ve never heard of 35mm film before TFA came out?
Surely, there must be a side by side comparison somewhere between the 35mm and the Blu Ray?
Of Raiders? Here’s one:

EDIT: Maybe the thread clogging regarding Raiders should probably stop…
