I thought The Doors just has both cuts of the film and a load of extras, I didn’t realise it came with some goodies so I might have to order it after all because I love the film too

Watched the new disc of DON'T LOOK NOW yesterday.

I could swear that the rain,the cold breath,the mist was coming out my screen.

An incredible restoration job!
I'd have loved to have seen this on the big screen!

It was showing at my local Odeon last week, but I had a headache the night it was on and decided to not go and see it
