Hi Senta

Here are the two links for The Searchers to compare:-

Ultimate Edition

50th Anniversary Edition

http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/924112/The_...on/Product.html.

The print is brilliant on the Ultimate Edition even when projected which is why I ask is there any major differences between them

Hi Mike,
The 50s Anneversary edition is completly different version, which I see by your links. It is a little mixed up in names. This year in Region 1 was released new version of remastered Searchers with plenty of feachures, one which I have - included 2 disc and 2 booklets and photo stills from the prodaction and for american citizens even a poster (it is't fear! ) and 50-s anneversary includes only 2 disc but the same remasteresd version.
What you are calling Ultimate edition is region 2 release. Some of the features in new Region 1 edition are the same, but they have + Turning of the Eath and some others. And the main difference is on the shape of images and in color. it is so differnt that it even takes time to became used to it. But I think it is better, more natural colors.
By the way, your Ultimate edition (Reg2) also have two versions of Searchers - wide screen and not?

Hi Mike,
What is the difference between 50th anneversary and Ultimate edition? I had this movie in different versions. The best is the newest one which was released in the Wayne-Ford collection this year. There was plenty of new features and even photo stills and comic book. Also I have it on two side region 2 disc - on one side it is widescreen, on the other fit to tv screen. This one was released in Duke Finnish/Swedish collection wich go in metal box and included also Rio Bravo, Train Robbers, Cahill, Chisum and Cowboys. I simply can't go away from it when I saw it in Finland.

Unfortunatly they add some features which was in the edition of The Searchers before, but also some new one.
And I don't understand about this booklet with posters, what is all this about?

Haven't seen the documentary yet, but the edition is absolutly striking. I like comic book and photos. For a pity, living here I can't get free poster.

Hi,
It is one of my favorites too. I watched it on New Year night with Angel and Badman.
I think it is a masterpiece, so I can't analyse it, only enjoy.
