I thought that the DVD version of Close Encounters is a fine presentation of the film with very good extras.  My only problem is with the crumby package the discs are stored in.  I've only opened it a handfull of times but it's already starting to show stress points between the 2 disc containers.  Simalar (but better designed) packaging used for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and the 2 disc version of "Boogie Nights" would have been a better choice all-around.  So, by all means buy the disc but be aware of the flimsy packaging design.
