Product Description
Bill Murray is at his hilarious best in this classic comedy that's 'Animal House goes to summer camp' - (Newsweek). Murray plays Tripper, the wisecracking, rule-bending head counselor at Camp North Star. Whether playing pranks on Camp North Star's clueless director, wooing a female counselor, or scheming against the rich brats of a rival camp, Tripper delivers fun and mayhem in a laugh-filled summer his campers will remember forever!

Yes, but not on Blu-ray. The two previous DVD versions of Meatballs, both out of print, were a standard release from 1999 and a Special Edition from 2007:

Thanks for the info, Lin, but ultimately, I realize...it-just-doesn't matter.

Blu Ray...and yet still no CD release of the soundtrack. What a shame!

X1,000,000!!!

I'd love to have that long version of "Makin' It" on CD.

I have the 2007 Special Edition and it's great. I remember sitting in the theater for 2 straight viewings, something that can't be done today. One of my favorite Bill Murray movies. The character who played Candace in the movie was hot.

Just curious, do you mean because of adult responsibilities or increased theater security?

Security...for whatever reason, they didn't throw you out of the theater when the movie was over back then. Then again, I haven't tried sitting for a movie twice since the 70's/80's. I think the last one I did it for was Airplane.

On the other hand, multiplexes make it easier to see "unauthorized double features" (pay for one movie, and sneak into another one after the first one's over).

What kind of unscrupulous person would do that, though? :whistle:

It was also a good way to check out an R-rated movie back in the day.

I'm more of a Kristine DeBell fan...especially since she appeared in a full-blown (pun intended) porn flick remake of Alice In Wonderland!

Wow, even the cover of the Blu-ray package seems to be much crisper, clearer, and better color than the DVD cover.

Hi-Rez, indeed !! :lol:
