My friend actually forced me to watch this a while back (he was very adamant, and bribed me with food). They are coming out with a special edition and I am pretty excited (especially since I watched it recently). Here are the specs:

Bonnie and Clyde -- starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway and directed by Arthur Penn, a film considered to be one of the most influential in the history of American cinema -- will be released on March 25 by Warner Home Video in two beautiful new DVD editions and on Hi-Def.

The editions offered will be a Two-Disc Special Edition and, available for a limited time only, the Ultimate Collector’s Edition. Both have been completely remastered from the original elements, and both boast more than two hours of new bonus content, highlighted by “Revolution! The Making of Bonnie and Clyde,” an all new in-depth commemorative documentary. Also included is the History Channel’s® “Love & Death: The Story of Bonnie and Clyde” (a look at the lives of the real Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow) as well as Warren Beatty wardrobe tests and additional scenes, both newly discovered. The Bonnie and Clyde Ultimate Collector’s Edition will also contain collectible memorabilia, with a 36-page hardcover book of rare, behind-the-scenes photos, a 24-page reproduction of the original 1967 press book and special mail-in poster offer.

Bonnie and Clyde Ultimate Collector’s Edition will sell for $39.92 SRP; Bonnie and Clyde Two-Disc Special Edition will be available for $20.97 SRP. Simultaneous HD DVD and Blu-Ray versions of Bonnie and Clyde will also be released for $34.99 SRP each.

I know how everyone loves their special editions (I'm not one though, I am just all over that high def version).

Obviously the picture is improved, but will we get a 5.1 option, or more fuckin mono?? :confused:

I found this (http://www.bonnieandclydemostwanted.com) link to the dvd webpage, it has a contest to win a trip if anybody is interested. I actually entered just for the wanted poster which I promptly posted on my facebook with a cheesy picture of myself.

mono sucks...the disease and the sound

I've heard that the bonnie and clyde contest might allow you to take a cash prize instead of the trip. Do contests usually allow this, because if so that would be sweet. I need the money more than a trip to a casino where I'd blow more money.

The DVD only has Mono, which is fine by me. I hate it when older films are "remastered in 5.1" and don't include the "original" audio. Bonnie And Clyde is 41 years old - they didn't have 5.1 back then :)

Nothing wrong with having both, I mean, I didn't get surround sound speakers for nothing...:(

Yeah but the film was originally done in MONO not 5.1 :)

True, but with many old films (Blazing Saddles from WB, nearly all the older movies from Paramount), an EFFORT was made for 5.1 so that at least we'd have the CHOICE...:(
