Romancing the Stone [Blu-ray]

Editorial Review:

When her sister is kidnapped by thugs searching for a priceless jewel in the Colombian jungle, a romance novelist (Kathleen Turner) soon finds her own life filled with cliffhangers and danger. All alone, she sets out to rescue her sister and meets up with a handsome fortune seeker (Michael Douglas) who convinces her to beat the bandits to the treasure.
Director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Contact) had a hit with this 1984 comedy that first teamed Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. Turner steals the show from the guys, however, playing a pushy romance novelist who gets stuck among some dangerous figures in Colombia and has only a rumpled guide (Michael Douglas) as an ally. The chemistry between the stars is infectious (the trio went on to make a sequel, Jewel of the Nile, and then an interesting, dark comedy directed by DeVito, The War of the Roses). Zemeckis--whose specialty at the time was creating set pieces of raucous action (as in his Back to the Future)--keeps things hopping with lots of kinetic material. --Tom Keogh

Romancing the Stone is one of my all time favorites and a joy to watch each time I view it. I love Cathline Turner in this video and her interaction with Michael Douglas is great.

This movie was as good as the first time I saw it in 1984, but it looks great in 1080p.If you get the chance get it.

One of my favorite movies of all time:

I love this movie and have watched in it seems a million times. I was excited when it came out in blu-ray. I was however disappointed the audio and video quality weren't better. It still is worth having instead of the standard dvd but I really wish they had done more to make this a better quality blu-ray.
