Couldn't resist a little Halloween 4K fun!
This is a MAJOR upgrade on ALL fronts, but since this thread is for Surround Movies, let me just say the zombies are coming at me from all over the place! Total immersion and the bass through my subwoofer is rocking the place! The effects build throughout and the soundtrack really comes alive (well, in an undead kind of way!) in the final scenes. It's a new DTS X mix and it's loads of fun--just like the film!

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) BD:
1. I haven't watched this for years but gave it a Halloween spin. Great flick, freaky atmosphere, good fun.
2. Great picture restoration. Tons of extras on BD too.
3. The 7.1 Dolby TrueHD (5.1 at my place) was surprisingly discrete with a respectable amount of surround action going on. Would be good if other mono upgrades were given this level of treatment. Just shows to go what can be done when they get their act together.

Night Falls on Manhattan (1996) BD:
1. 5.1 DTS-MA but there's next to nothing coming from the rears. Some decent lows courtesy of Mark Isham's score though.
2. Not a bad Lumet earnest cop/lawyer drama from the 90's that I hadn't seen before. Could be seen as a companion to Serpico.
3. Image is really good.
4. Here's a link if you're keen (pricey - I picked mine up on sale here in NZ): https://www.amazon.com/Night-Falls-Manhattan-Blu-ray-Garcia/dp/B08BDYHR9Y

I am happy to report that the recent Francis Ford Coppola restoration of THE COTTON CLUB, IMO, is SPECTACULAR and unless Lionsgate plans a Native 4K release, is the definitive version at present. Coppola added about 27 minutes of restored footage, mostly spectacular musical numbers and tightened up the pacing considerably. At AmazonUS' asking price of $9.99, a NO BRAINER! AUDIO and VIDEO QUALITY are STUNNING!

Just followed link for Joker. Amazon claims it's only DD 5.1? That simply cannot be right. What is it? Does it have Atmos?Just happened to peruse blu.ray.com @ 3~5 AM and Black Friday is starting EARLY. These are usually FLASH deals so you have to act fast. Notice most are UHD4K!

Coming December 2020 from the House of Hammer 4K remastered from the original Technicolor Camera Negatives
Gave Impressionable 4~ears nightmares ...as a child!
Description: The first, and perhaps the best of the long-running series of horror films from the house of Hammer, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee star in this landmark interpretation based on the famous Mary Shelley story. Baron Victor Frankenstein becomes friends with one of his teachers, Paul Krempe. At first, both men are fascinated by the potential of their re-animating experiments. Eventually, though, Krempe refuses to help with Frankenstein's human experiments. However, he is drawn back into the plot when Frankenstein's creature kills a member of the house staff. For its U.S. Blu-ray debut, Warner Archive is proud to present this deluxe 2 Disc Special Edition, featuring two theatrical aspect ratio presentations, meticulously remastered and restored from preservation separations, as well as bonus disc with the restoration presented in "open-matte" format, as was seen for years on television, plus four exciting new retrospective featurettes, an expert commentary, and the original theatrical trailer.
