Clash of the Titans: The classic on Blu-ray
The Blu-ray edition of the original Clash of the Titans movie is a bit of a mixed bag. Some scenes look exceptionally good in high definition, while others are pretty grainy, especially night scenes. I assume this is due to the source material, because the movie never really looked that great on DVD either--this is probably as good as we're ever going to see it. The uncompressed DTS-HD sound is good but only in 2.0 (probably another source limitation--there is a good back-speaker effect approaching Medusa's lair). The packaging is quite nice: a book with stills from the movie, pictures and biographies of the cast (the Ursula Andress photo is a stunner) and special-effects creator Ray Harryhausen, and pictures and descriptions of the creatures. There are two bonus features, both in standard definition: A 2002 12-minute interview with Harryhausen in which he describes his work on the film, and short segments in which he describes each of six creatures. There's also a five-minute preview of the 2010 Titans remake. You can compare the original film's trailer and two behind-the-scenes featurettes from the new film below. --David

I loved watching Clash of the Titans on HBO. They would show it over and over again so I could see so many times. This was back when HBO had very few original programming. I think Fraggle Rock and Not Necessarily the News were the only ones I remember. This was before I had a VCR so I couldn't tape a show and watch it later. They would show movies like Superman II, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Trek II, Star Wars, Airplane, etc and I would watch them again and again. I still love those movies today. Though I now have those films on DVD and Blu-ray and can watch them anytime I want to, I still get nostalgic for watching them on cable those years ago
