Ridley Scott's THE DUELLISTS (1977) from Shout Factory

Another one I thought deserved its own thread.

I always figured The Criterion Collection would be the ones resurrecting this, but apparently Shout! Factory are releasing Ridley Scott's THE DUELLISTS (1977) on blu! Based on a book by Joseph Conrad, the movie follows two men, Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel, whose lives become permanently intertwined when an unfinished duel leads to obsession over the match. Beautifully filmed, it should be a treat to see this one in hi def.

i've always been aware of this, but never got around to seeing it.

I just want people to know that according to Cliff at the Blu-ray forums, this and the Walking Tall Trilogy were the only things Shout! could sub-licensed from Paramount.

Seeing as the DVD is now out-of-print (and luckily I never picked up a copy), save me a spot at the front of the line for this one. I actually just watched this film again recently, for the first time in many years, and was glad to realize it was just as excellent as I remembered it being.
