My sixth time through, this time watching through on the newly remastered blu-ray.

As a whole? Absolutely a step up from the bootleg digital copy with wonky subtitles I've been watching for years. The film really pops, and while some of the scenes noticeably change in resolution (most notably footage that presumably was copied in the original version) I think that kinda adds to the experience.
