Format:Blu-ray
Okay, lets talk about the difference between grain....and sharpness. The Blu ray transfer of this film is pin sharp,thats because the focus puller and camera man on the original film crew did a very good job and got everything in perfect focus!! The Blu Ray transfer does exemplify the characteristics of the film stock used in 1968....remember this is a film shot entirely on location in an almost semi/documentary style using film stock suited to low light levels and with a minimum use of suplementary lighting, by nature the film stock can be slightly grainy in places but that is no accident and can be considered a creative choice by the director to convey the gritty on the spot realism required. Actually in many ways this film set a trend, not just because of the car chase but the visual style and realistic/ urgent nature of the camera work spawned a slew of gritty action thrillers, (see French Connection/Blu Ray). There is no point in trying to compare the visual quality of a Blu Ray film like "Bullit" to a Blu Ray Bond film, for one thing the visual styles are so disparate as to be incomparable, Bond films present a saturated hyper reality, a high gloss to go with the high fantasy, "Bullitt" is a gritty cop thriller, it doesn't need cleaned up or made glossy like a modern film, watch it as it was intended to be, this Blu ray is good, its sharp, its clear, its grainy in places, its how it should be. I have the DVD and the Blu Ray is far superior...enjoy.

There have been some pretty tough reviews concerning the picture quality of this blu ray. (I assume everyone knows the movie itself is great). I have to suggest that a direct comparison between the dvd and the blu ray shows what a massive improvement has been made. It's never going to "pop" off the screen the way some modern films do...... but the original footage was never capable of doing that. This blu ray is as good as Bullitt will ever look and it is a very big improvement over the dvd.

This film is brilliant ! Being a Steve McQueen fan i wanted to buy this on Blu Ray. The very first opening scene is a shot from a high building and on Blu Ray was terrible (old film i suppose) which made me think "oh no" BUT moving on into the film i was quite surprised by the transfer, it is actually very good ! Im not gonna go into Blu Ray jargon as i dont know too much ! but given its age it is very clear and the audio is also very good. There are also lots of extras on the disc which in turn i would say make it a good buy if you like this film...

Blu-Ray not worth it I'm afraid
This is one of my favourite all time films. I've owned it in most formats. I picked it up on Blu-ray in a New Year sale for £7 but I have to say, if you've got the DVD don't bother... Read more

Entertainment.
Steve McQueen's Bullitt has always been my favourite movie; blue-ray makes the experience even better, especially on a forty-seven inch HD tv.

Dreadful Transfer
Is it a great film? Well...... erm.......not really. I think the passage of time, and Steve McQueen's legend has turned it into something that it's not. Read more

Great Film, Pointless Conversion
The film is it's legendary self but the conversion to Blu Ray is pointless. They've done very little, if anything, to the picture quality and the sound is still in the same DVD... Read more
