For me, it’s Wizard of Oz. 1988 Criterion Laserdisc, 1989 VHS, 2009 3-Disc Blu-Ray and the 2013 Best of WB 20 Film Musicals DVD set.

that is correct as far as the US is concerned. The UK had more releases, with a 1991 Special Widescreen Edition (NTSC-to-PAL conversions of the US Widescreen Laserdiscs), the 1994 Digitally Remastered release, THX 1995 standalone, the Superclass set, the 97 Special Edition and the 2000 reprint of the 97SE.

A month ago today, I stop by a local thrift store and find an MGM DVD of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Less than a month later, I upgrade 2001 to Blu-Ray via an eBay lot that also included the soundtrack on CD. And yet I’m still keeping the DVD because of it’s original 70mm six-track audio.

The CBS/FOX Japanese Laserdiscs used subtitles for the full film and said Return of the Jedi on the packaging even when the VHS said Revenge of the Jedi.

The Across the Stars album by Deutsch-Grammophon has a violin version of Rey’s theme played by Anne-Sophie Mutter that could be useful.

The digital stereo should be LPCM encoded to avoid loss of audio quality.

I got an 8/16mm dual projector and a 16mm copy of Three Little Bruins, a 1940s documentary short film. I weeded Captain Marvel 4K and Blu-Rays of both Ant-Man films.

Lawrence of Arabia. This is what an epic should be. I loved the cinematography and Peter O’Toole’s performance. I watched it on the Criterion CAV Laserdisc.

You Maniacs! You blew it Up!
I got the older CBS/FOX Special Widescreen Edition just so that the cover doesn’t spoil the twist like this late release does.
