20 Best Movie Blu-Rays Of 2016
18. The Commitments 25th Anniversary Edition
If you enjoyed director John Carney’s Sing Street this year,
chances are the feel-good musical recalled the similarly Irish-set musical The
Commitments. We hate to break it to you, but if you do remember director Alan
Parker’s comedy-drama about a group of young Dubliners who come together to form
a soul band chances are you’re of a certain vintage, because this year is the
movie’s 25th anniversary. To celebrate its quarter-century
milestone, The Commitments has been released on Blu-ray for the first time
ever.
The special edition release includes an interview with Alan Parker and cast members Robert Arkins, Kenneth McCluskey and Glen Hansard, four behind-the-scenes featurettes, a director commentary and an image gallery. Also included is a collector’s booklet, downloadable digital copy of the movie and a music video of the soul classic Treat Her Right for your sing-along pleasure.
