i just purchase and view the dvd of this film . the dvd transfer be from last year and 2001. this 1988 film be really a great little film . overlook by most people . i saw it in the theater in 1988 and have love it ever since . i love the opening shot of pittsburgh ( not baltimore and a another user comment ) . make pittsburgh look like one of the most beautiful city in the world . and i must say and the tour of pitt on the garbage truck with nicky be a very scenic and interesting one . tom hulce and a everyone else have say and give a remarkable and wonderful performance . the dvd be a good transfer and with no extra and but a widescreen format . i recommend it to those who love the movie .
