This special edition re-release of Gremlins is a vast improvement over the original disc. To begin with, the image, which is framed at the original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, shows clear signs of the new digital transfer. Colors are sharp and vibrant (though maybe a little over saturated at times) with blacks that are solid. Overall the immediate impression of the picture is better than would be expected. The sound, which uses the same 5.1 English track from the original release, is certainly good, but never takes advantage of the entire sound field. It's generally centered up front, but is distortion free and produces clear audio. The main difference between releases is obviously the supplemental features. Whereas the first disc was basically movie only, this one has a number of nice features. At the top of the list would have to be two new commentary tracks. The first is enthusiastic and informational with director Joe Dante and actors Zach Galligan, Howie Mandel, and the less heard Phoebe Cates and Dick Miller. The second is a little more technical, but nevertheless entertaining with Dante again, producer Michael Finnell, and special effects artist Chris Walas. The rest of the extras, while good, are less spectacular. Along with ten minutes of deleted scenes with optional commentary is a six-minute featurette with behind-the-scenes shots and interviews, a photo/storyboard gallery, and cast and crew biographies. Rounding this nice package out are three trailers, two for this film and one for the sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
When this was in the theaters everybody went to see it, including me. It won Best Picture. Paramount was so excited it printed up a TON of DVDs. No one bought them. Is it for the same reason I walked out of the theater? Doubtful. This is one of those movies you see once & then, who cares? Why did I buy it? I forgot.
First, FREE TOY. Never EVER turn your nose up at something you can give to a crying child - an angry woman - or throw with all your might at a complete stranger's head.... That being said: This movie was REALLY good. The 6-year old begged me to get it (she didn't even KNOW about the toy)! I did, she got the toy (no - I handed it to her) and she sleeps w/it every night (still!). Free toy...

OK, I waited. I was not about to jump for the new thing just 'cause the corporate wingnuts yelled, "Jump!" I bought the DVD player even though I had a ton of VHS tapes. I thought, OK - ONCE and I'm never wrong.
Luckily, I was mistaken. Blu-Ray ROCKS! Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings (Extended Editions), The Hobbit (Extended Editions) and... AHHHH!
How could I go wrong? Great brand, Great price! (Honest.)

You have headphones plugged into a jack meant for something else. Unplug it. Count the black rings on the plug. 2 = stereo headphones...
