I recently upgraded my video system to Blue-ray and just obtained and watched Zulu on Blue-ray disk last night. I was blown away by how well in looked and the overall quality of the conversion. The contrast, colors and detail are nothing less than spectacular; absolutely amazing for a 40+ year old film. There are some mild artifacts or jitter on the camera panning scenes but it is not distracting and no worse than I have seen on several other BRDs. This is actually one of the best BRDs I have seen. I noticed details that I had never seen before in my many screenings of prior DVD versions. The picture quality literally draws you into the action and events. It also comes with a number of interesting featurettes on the making of the movie. It should be noted that this is a UK Region B release that is region free and does play just fine on US (and I suspect other) region players. Overall it is definitely the best release of the film to date and a must have to anyone who wants to enjoy this classic in the best way possible. Here is a link to some other thoughts about the release:

If you have Blue-ray, this is a BRD you must get; if you don't, with prices dropping over the holidays, this is a great reason to upgrade.
