I'm not sure how I was able to make it to almost 45 years old and not have seen this film or ever heard a single note of the music. Needless to say, after listening to the samples, it was quickly ordered.
I recommend the movie itself, of course we are all buying this fine CD release today. Previously Netflix had this streaming, it might have expired. Otherwise there is not a bluray, oddly, but there is a DVD. I found the film pretty entertaining, and sometimes surprising. I think it was nicely made all around, and very atmospheric visually. Too bad it never took fire in order to make another couple or so films like they wanted it to.
Hopefully Netflix has it available for streaming, because as usual our county library system doesn't have anything.

Totally agree. Of the crop of "young people" movies Amblin was making around this time, YSH was a refreshing change of pace. It was darker, more restrained, more adult in a way. Also the first feature Pixar ever worked on, and the first ever use of CGI!

There was a pretty big deal made about the stained glass knight at the time because nothing like that had ever been done, but The Last Starfighter might be the 1st film to use CGI to represent real objects. However, I think the knight was the 1st "photoreal" CGI character.
Wrath of Khan (genesis sequence), Tron and Star Wars (wireframe readouts) are some other early examples but the use in those are more like simulations.
I agree about YSH being an entertaining film. I think I'll show my 10 year old son soon.

Yeah Mike, cool movie all around, and I though that pyramid set was really interesting. The young actors were really quite good as well.
I checked on Netflix on the USA side, looks like they do not have it anymore.
They really need to get after making a nice BluRay.
