Movie GOOD....Quality of DVD....HORRIBLE.

I love this movie, a unique vision of european/western romanticism, accentuated by ,the youthful vigor of Hill (Nobody) and the weary, retrospective, aging gunfighter Fonda (Jack Beauregard).  A movie I enjoyed as a youngster, and I still enjoy now.  HOWEVER, its hard to enjoy a movie, any movie, when there are so many DVD dropouts and image distortions.  The DVD I received was really poor quality...and that affected this movie experience on a very deep level.

This is a great movie but the quality of the DVD is bad.  The file was corrupt, pixelating halfway though the movie indicating a bad copy. What's more, Amazon will not accept a return on this product. And another thing, there is no indication on the selling page that this item is ineligible for return. Shame on you, Amazon.

I like the drama, but the quality of the dvd is terrible.  It looks like is being recorded one time after another, but from the copy, not the original.  The sound is terrible too. I don't recomend anybody to buy it.

The case  was busted but the DVD was intact.  I thought I was ordering two different movies, ("The Life of Christ" and "The life of Jesus Christ") because of the titles, only to discover they were the same, with the exception of a longer running time on one of the DVDs (I think); however, the quality was poor on both...same actors same scenes, same-same.  The picture, in some sections, was so dark we thought the T.V. had cut off until we heard audio; however, fast-forwarding didn't help nor could we enjoy the movie so after a couple of hours we cut it off. Quality was just bad; the worst I've seen to date. The audio wasn't much better. No thanks to reordering either movie. These must have been recorded by the same company at the same time. I should have acknowledged the review written by one of the customers who inferred to order with caution... I know some of the reviews indicated the movies were old and not to expect a quality picture but I did not expect what I got.  I have purchased old movie DVDs in the past but none with such substandard picture and audio quality.  Nope, I won't be reordering either of these.

The movie is dated as you would expect.  But what you may not expect is the horrible quality of the movie when you stream it.  The scenes at night or in the dark are so dark that you cannot see anything.  I have seen bad DVD transfers in the past, but this makes the worst one of those look great in comparison.  Don't bother trying to watch it, you will only become upset... god forbid you pay to stream it you will be furious.

While the movie itself is great (one of my faves) the picture quality of the vhs tape was aweful. It has a poor picture quality and some snow. I wouldn't purchase from the seller again.

This is a review of the quality of the Blu-ray disc, not the movie itself.

Ever since this movie was first released, it has become one of my all time favorite movies.  (Blade Runner is #1 on my list.)

This movie on Blu-ray was supposedly "digitally remastered."  This is one of the worst transfers to Blu-ray I have ever seen.  Most of the frames have so much noise, that each frame looks like a stipple painting.  (Stippling is a painting technique with a bunch of dots grouped close together.)

Bottom line, this Blu-ray quality was so bad that it was distracting enough to reduce my enjoyment of the movie.

It might be best to stay with a good DVD version of this movie until they release a better quality version on Blu-ray.

The quality was extremely poor.  I loved the movie, but could not watch it because of the poor quality.  I ended up buying a blue-ray from a local retailer.

The movie itself was a good one, so I'm not going to address what others have as far as what a good film it is...Instead I am forced to issue a warning to anyone interested in purchasing this  video.  The quality is absolutely terrible and if the cost didn't make a return not worth my while, I would have returned this video.  The sound quality is so bad that the dialogue can hardly be heard at times (quite often in fact) -- there is also a steady hum that can be heard throughout the movie.  The picture quality is a joke.  At times the picture drops out completely and you see nothing but static.  Add to that the missing footage and you come up with a video that is not worth the money!  Do yourself a favor and try to remember the film as it was -- wonderful -- and then DON'T ruin the good memories by buying this disaster of a release.  My parents and I were extremely disapointed in this video.

The movie was great - just as I remembered it in theatres. The problem was that the quality was LOUSY. We sprung for the HD version and ended up watching the low-res version with the bars never showing more than one, let alone coming close to the 'HD' box. Amazon, while we love all of your other services and remain very satisfied customers, this is the second time we've had such an experience in renting from your video service. It will be the last.

The movie is great but the picture quality is horrible so I gave it three stars only. They need to put out a better version on dvd. TCM had played a great version but it seems there is no dvd version with the great picture quality available. Anyone know where to get a good version of the movie?

The movie itself was great, the quality was poor it kept stopping and starting and glitching through the entire movie. We watched the first in SD and had the same issue so this time we figured we do HD so we would have better quality but all we got was more cost...

The dvd said very good condition yet it is not viewable.... It skips the whole movie... But you get what you pay for, although they do mislead you by stating very good condition it should of been categorized under poor. In the condition it was it shouldn't even been sold.

.... which is too bad since the movie selection itself is excellent and I would have enjoyed these if the DVDs were of better quality, not the shaky credits, grainy movie, weak sound, etc etc that can be experienced on all 3 discs in this set.  This will be going back and I'll try to get some of the better features on individual discs, if available.

I am especially disappointed since the "Randolph Scott Roundup, v1" (also by Mill Creek Entertainment) was very good indeed and I was obviously hoping this would be of a similar quality -- but it is NOT!

This is one of my favorite films, probably my favorite one, but I couldn't enjoy watching it in this format (Korean DVD version) because the quality of the DVD transfer is so poor.  I can't understand what some of the other reviewers are saying about the picture being good, it is quite a bit worse than a good quality VHS you might have purchased of a new movie in 1990.  The aspect ratio seems to be distorted as well, the picture appears squished.

Nostalghia is a truly classic film, an important work of art, and it is a real tragedy that there is not a good quality DVD or Bluray edition available for people to buy and watch.
