There certainly wasn't much care taken in restoring this movie for DVD. There are no bonus features or extras included and the picture and sound quality are nothing great. One would expect better since it says on the case "remastered for high definition". It looks like the film was transferred from an old VHS tape, and if you have an old VHS copy of this film you might just as well keep it since it may be of better quality than this DVD.
I love the movie "Oliver!" like many other people here. It's one of the best musicals with memorable songs, great acting, and beautiful photography. But those who created this DVD could have given us something so much better, considering the technology that is available for restoring old films today. I didn't pay much for this product since it's price was greatly reduced here at Amazon, but it wasn't anything outstanding in quality, either.
A Classic June 18, 2008
Oliver! The Artful Doger, Fagan, Nancy and Bill Sikes. Great music and timeless storyline. Watching this with your family is a nice way to spend an evening or rainy summer day.
great quotes June 4, 2008
I love this music and this movie! The music is fabulous! The movie has some of my favorite movie quotes of all time! One of my favorites is, "These sausages is mouldy!" "Shut up and drink your gin!"

The '68 film `Oliver' is an amazingly entertaining musical adaptation of Charles Dickens classic `Oliver Twist'. I really cannot think of a single flaw in this production that is worthy of mentioning. The storyline, characterizations, production values and musical numbers are sheer perfection with superb performances delivered by Ron Moody (Fagin), Jack Wild (Artful Dodger) and little Mark Lester (Oliver Twist) just to name a few.
As always, the ultimate litmus test of any great film is the repeatability factor. Does it continue to entertain its audience viewing after viewing? In the case of 'Oliver' the answer is a resounding YES!
