The Bruce Willis vehicle Hudson Hawk was one such film.   It has a style of humour that escapes many people as it doesn't conform to the usual rules of filmic comedy, which is why I for one LOVED this movie from the first time I saw it.
But I've always enjoyed very off the wall and very stupid humour, so this film has the perfect ingredients.

Just released from jail after a 10 year stint, Eddie aka Hudson hawk (Bruce Willis), is approached by his parole officer to do a bust on the local museum who are about to have an equestrian themed auction.  Not wishing to return to his old ways, Hudson refuses and soon hooks up with old crime buddy Tommy(Danny Aiello).  When the boys goto their favourite hang out (the bar they own) Hudson is approached by the boss Cesar (sly's brother Frank Stallone). 
Hudson and Eddie are soon back at it, and prepare to break into the museum, and steal Da Vinci's Sforza (a horse statue).
Next day however, the boys see in the local rag that they nabbed a fake.  Not content with the outcome Hudson goes to the auction and sorta kinda meets up with Anna (Andie MacDowell), the Da Vinci appraiser.  When the 'real' piece is next on the slate, Minerva and Darwin Mayflower (Sandra Bernhard & Richard E Grant) make their very campy-over-the-top grand entrance, and soon after their million dollar plus bid the auction is blown to bits with  Hudson knocked out by a flying horse.
On his way to hospital there's a "slight" detour in which Hudson is confronted with FBI frontman George Kaplan (James Coburn)...the guy responsible for his capture many years ago.  Blackmailed by the FBI into helping them stop the Mayflowers, Hudson winds up in Rome, where he oddly enough hooks up with Anna again (it turns out she is working for the Vatican). For the Mayflowers are about to uncover the secret to world domination, through an invention of Da Vinci's.

Hudson Hawk is a film that was a little too ahead of it's time, maybe now it's style would receive more appreciation, as we've since seen the introduction of the Simpson's, South Park, and many other comic treasures.  With Bruce Willis being an action film man, this is a slight change in direction and not what you'd expect from him but Hudson Hawk was based on Wills'  own creation, and none of the characters in this film could be classified as typical, especially Bernhard and Grant who so close to be really badly camp, it's not funny, well actually it is, that's the point. 

So How Does This Transfer Hold Up??
In the first few minutes I nearly fell off my chair with the stunning clarity of the opening sequence..This is NOT a film you would think was made over 8 years ago.  Sure there are moments of slightly grainy imagery, and others where you can see it just coming through (though it looks like a fair amount of digital noise reduction was performed on this baby to keep it under control as much as possible), but it's a sharp, clear and clean image in the grand scheme of things.  Colour saturation was rather high, and at some times too hot, but the vibrancy of this picture gave it a great look. Contrast range could have been a little higher as it looked a tad grey (after increasing my contrast it looked a lot better), though I feel it was intended to give it a more filmic look on DVD.  I also upped my Brightness level a notch as it was just that bit too heavy in the black level.

Though this only comes with a Dolby 2.0 surround mix, it's really very good.  I did miss the odd drop of bass in the explosions, but the overall mix is quite lively.   Music uses the surrounds for a very nice ambience, (as do the sound effects), and the front soundstage was quite wide with a fair amount of localisation and intelligible dialogue.
Again, the sound from the German track suited me better, with a lively bass and slightly more forward sound (listen to "Swinging on a Star" and you'll hear what I Mean)

Though not containing a great amount of extras, I was most pleased to find a running commentary from Director Michael Lehmann.  It's not a bad comm track, and up front he makes no apology what so ever for this film as to what a majority of people thought of it.   definitely worth a listen as it give some great insight into the making of this film.
Also included are cast and crew Filmographies and the Columbia DVD trailer (which really needs to be anamorphic and have a 5.1 mix to promote DVD don't you think.
