HOT NEWS!
Help! will finally be released on DVD on 22nd October in the UK and 23rd in the US. There will be two versions, a standard release and a deluxe 2 disc version. The deluxe version will apparently also come with a movie poster, lobby cards and a copy of the film script!
I've got a feeling it's legit. AHDN and Help are obviously the most accessible of the films. It's all the other stuff that there's a hang about.

I'm worried, though. I didn't buy the AHDN DVD on Amazon, because according to the reviews, they had botched the production with a crappy visual cut of the movie (cutting down the picture way too much for the format) and the sound was inferior. Um, I would buy this DVD because of the picture and the sound. So I passed on that. I wonder if anyone here thought the AHDN DVD was okay (the packaging; we know the movie is tremendous!).
I hope the Help DVD comes out in a better package. *worries*

The good thing with the AHDN DVD was that it was transferred from the original restored 35mm negative so it has never looked so good - the result being that you can actually read what John writes on that pad!
Yes, it's true - the film was slightly cropped, and for those who know about such things, the 2002 DVD version is 1.66:1 widescreen and the original was filmed in Academy 1.37:1 - I have no idea what that means but I certainly wouldn't say the DVD of AHDN was a crappy visual cut - not by any stretch of the imagination! The soundtrack was also cleaned up and is presented in mono Dolby surround sound - no idea how that works in mono though!
I think what you have to realise with the AHDN DVD is that this is the best quality release we are likely to see for a VERY long time - yeah, it may have a few short-comings, but the quality of the picture far outweighs any of these in my opinion.
So basically I would recommend that you buy it "and be done with it!"

Thanks, Al! *races to Amazon.com....*

I just got Help! for my birthday about a month ago. It's the original movie and everything, but the weird thing about it is that the cover is in Korean out of all things, and they have mustaches on the front like they did during Sgt.Pepper. Can't figure that one out, but it is the real movie. Figures, as soon as I get it, a new one comes out that's better! I have the worst luck sometimes...but I'll still get the one coming out in October! I want the movie poster and stuff, I love finding goodies in with movies! I'm excited, I love this movie!

I was watching my video of Help! earlier today, I love it! It's my birthday in October so I'm going to be begging for the DVD for a slightly late birthday present.
