Arrow Video's Blu-ray release of Sixteen Candles fixes past issues, offering authentic, detailed visuals with organic grain, maintaining film integrity without digital tweaks. Compares both theatrical and extended versions with improved color and detail, though grain varies.

Sixteen Candles' Blu-ray offers DTS-HD MA 5.1 and two mono mixes, with the surround mix preferred for its balanced, immersive audio, without the muffling or volume issues of the mono tracks.

Arrow Video's release includes both Theatrical and Extended versions with minor differences, enriched by new interviews, a visual essay, archival materials, trailers, and image galleries, all in 1080p quality, packaged with collector-friendly extras.

John Hughes' 'Sixteen Candles' Blu-ray by Arrow enhances a classic, reflecting 80s teen angst and culture with humor, albeit dated, and rich bonus content.
