I have 3 versions of the original Star Wars trilogy and when it comes out in hidef I'll probably end up buying them again like the Lucasfilm sponsor that I am.

Well, we get this 'question' here on the Msg Bd from time to time, and I have many duplicates from among various formats (LaserDisc, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray), and -the- film I've made more duplicate purchases than any other is...

Francis Ford Copplola's APOCALYPSE NOW

~ I have the 3 LaserDisc editions - Full-Frame 2.0 Dolby Surround, Widescreen 2.0 Dolby S., Widescreen 5.1 Dolby Digital

~ I have the 3 DVD editions (all widescreen 16x9 anamorphic) - 5.1 DD Theatrical cut (w/rare bonus "destruction of Kurtz' compound", 5.1 DD 'Redux' Longer cut, and the 5.1 DD 'Complete Dossier' SpEd set (remastered film ratio and many extras).

And I own the LaserDisc documentary of Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (outstanding!), which has just recently been released on DVD (finally).

And when the Blu-ray Hi-Def version arrives I will purchase it as well, of course! Note: Apocalypse Now features incredible (and difficult) cinematography, as well as outstanding sound quality - earning the men responsible with the Academy Award!
