This movie comes alive on Blu-ray like no other. I was blown away when I saw this film in my home cinema. This is Friedkin's best film.

Yep, outstanding Blu-ray restoration and presentation. Embarrasses many other releases with their barely-better-than-DVD transfers. Friedkin's gritty realsim drips off the screen.

My god the DVD is stunning (Friedkin forced WB to release the restored versions on DVD also)can't imagine what the BR would look like-but I'm not married to my TeeVee, so this will do MORE than fine

Not sure about best ever, but it really does look fantastic.

Totally agree, I was amazed how great it looked and how amazing it wasit's a criminally underrated masterpiece. This film has aged liked wine you could never make anything like it today. My only complaint is the lack of a commentary track from Friedkin.

In trying to find this on Blu-Ray, i naturally go to Amazon. They have it listed as being released April 26, 2016. And also as 'Currently Unavailable'.
WTF.
What was it available for. like a week?
Ebay has a couple and they are, of course, 'available' for $50 dollars.
Where and when did folks here get their BR of this?

The bluray book was released a couple years ago. The regular bluray was just released

This mythical just-released Bluray is no where to be found. Amazon, Ebay, no where.

Actually, I pre-ordered the regular blu-ray way back in Feb of 2014 for $16.00 and received it a couple of months later. At the time the digibook was $30.
By the way, amazon.ca has it listed for $19.99 right now:

and amazon.com has it for $34.99 (the digibook is $49.99)

With some Blu rays it just looks like they took a regular 720p DVD and reprocessed it into 1080p.
This movie looks completely remastered and the quality is excellent. Though I was sorry that there were no deleted scenes or a "making of" featurette.
Blind dissent is as foolish as blind patriotism.

It looks really good, but the color seems a bit too saturated. I mean, it's a 70s movie, right? Most 70s movies don't look this bright. I'm not gonna pretend I know definitively it's wrong, but this wouldn't be the first time Friedkin's messed with a movie's saturation on Blu-Ray
