I watched this earlier on - a classic, plus the Blu-Ray looks fantastic.

Other recent viewings:

- Alice: Fantastic (and typically warped) animation epic form Jan Švankmajer, which depicts Lewis Carrol's classic Alice tale in a highly original way. Great Blu from BFI, too.

- Obsession: DePalma at his very best. A gripping, well constructed mystery thriller, and a great Blu from Arrow too.

- La planète sauvage: Fantastical French epic tinged with morality tale trappings. A real treat to watch, and even more so thanks to Eureka's superb HD transfer.

- Red: Rental from Lovefilm. Watchable spy romp, some good performances, but nothing overly special.

- Taxi Driver: Scorsese's masterpiece, which looks and sounds stunning on Blu-ray.

- Tron Legacy: Rental from Love Film. Pointless cash-in sequel. Had potential, but the predictable over-use of CGI, plus catering for the teenie crowd spoils what could have been a half decent film. I went in with low expectations, so wasn't surprised. Not a patch on the original.
