One of the most important films of the late 1980s comes to Blu-ray with a fresh new HD master derived from a new 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative. Stand and Deliver lived up to its title when first released in 1988. This moving, acclaimed crowd-pleaser is the dynamic saga of real-life heroes determined to conquer a foe few people dare confront: the National Advanced Placement Calculus Exam. The outstanding Edward James Olmos earned a 1988 Best Actor Academy Award™ nomination for his performance filled with fire and grit as Jamie Escalante, an East L.A. math teacher who refuses to write off his inner-city students as losers. Escalante cajoles, pushes, threatens and inspires 18 students who were struggling with fractions to become math whizzes. Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Longmire) and Andy Garcia co-star in this timeless and true-life story about the real Escalante and his unconventional methods to inspire his students to greatness.

First day purchase!

Wasn't this one of the early WB DVDs, in a snapper case, and letterboxed (i.e. not anamorphic)? It's a decent flick, and I'm pleased to see it get a Blu release.

Its DVD release was November 10, 1998, and it was pan and scan.

Wow, being excited I didn't even take the time to read that this is a new 4K scan, and not the old HD (which was absolutely fine) that has been available digitally for over a decade.

Now I'm really excited. In a perfect world a new dedicated 4K disc would be available. But I'm still extremely happy with this news!

I am so sick of Amazon. Do early pre-orders locked in mean anything anymore? I ordered this probably the hour the title went live. I don't even have a delivery date as the page reads "temporarily out of stock". I should have this in my hands today, but no.

A lot of movies I don't care as much about have been getting cancelled from me lately. Long term delays are becoming a way to kill my interest.
