The Godfather comes to Blu-ray

Filed Under: DVD New Releases | Article Tags : Blu-Ray , box set , new on dvd

Just got the notice that one of the greatest film series of all time is making its way onto Blu-ray and DVD in a newly restored print supervised by Coppola himself. On September 23rd, The Godfather Collection The Coppola Restoration will be hitting store shelves in either a DVD or Blu-ray box set, and also each film individually on DVD, so you can skip Part III if needed. But my word these box sets are massive and pricey ($119 for the Blu-ray version)! If there was an incentive to jump to Blu-ray this could be it. Check this out:
