With my Inglorious Basterds Roadshow Version nearly complete, and my Blade Runner project beginning, I have an idea for not another fanedit persay. Over the past three years of so, I have recently come to develop an interest in Dario Argento's Three Mothers Trilogy. I immediately fell in love with these films, though Mother of Tears was a little disappointing compared to Suspiria and Inferno.
What I want to do is make a 3-disc Trilogy boxset that will have the best versions possible of all three films in one place instead of multiple releases scattered around different regions.
Mother of Tears will probably be easy since I already have a friend who's tracking down a copy for me. I read somewhere that Koch Media had a good release of Inferno, but I'm curious as to if this release has any color timing and audio issues among other problems that might need to be fixed.
The biggest problem would probably be Suspiria. I know a lot of people aren't trying to touch Suspiria because Synapse is doing a 4K restoration of it for BD, but honestly, there's no telling when this will even hit the light of day, and I'm kinda impatient when it comes to this classic. I've heard that there are no good copies of it out in the world, and the closest to a decent version was Dr. Sapirstein's Restored and Preserved DVD, which is no longer available, and I read somewhere that it was basically an upscale of the Anchor Bay DVD (which was my first experience of the film), which is kinda disappointing. I've also heard that the Japanese BD is actually a good copy, but I don't know anything about it. I also read that 84 Entertainment's Germany BD has the best audio source available.
It would be awesome if I could get some confirmations on any of this before attempting to gather the sources and create this lovely boxset.
