    Can’t wait to get this! Been waiting on the upgrade of the DVD for so many years. Haven’t posted on HTF since 2018… that’s how excited I am!

    Filing Films in Your Collection (when titles start with numbers)

    Start at the highest number, counting down to zero, then the alphabet begins.

    To Mr. Robert Harris: 10 films you’d like to have restored!

    I'd like to see Vertigo on 4K UHD with the required work headed by Mr. Harris. That would be amazing, I'm sure.

    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    I was once in a meeting with Best Buys second in command and a store manager, & the head honcho said that they want to remove physical media from all stores in "the next couple of years". Now this was a few years back, so they're obviously behind timescale! There's just no margins in physical...

    The Hallelujah Trail coming from Olive Films on 2/27/18

    Okay -- thanks for the comments. I will think it over as it's very expensive importing these discs from the US to the UK these days!

    The Hallelujah Trail coming from Olive Films on 2/27/18

    Tempted to blind buy this. Mad World is in my top five films of all time and I love westerns & madcap comedies. Do you think it's worth a chance?

    UHD Should I buy 4k disks?

    I've got a Panasonic player and a 1080p projector (which has pseudo 4K "upscale - a 2012 JVC model) and the HDR-SDR conversion works great. I had to tweak the Panasonic's features considerably, by eye, but it looks good to me now - the visual difference between the UK Sony Blade Runner 4K and...

    Is collecting excessive amounts of TV shows on DVD a hobby OR an obsessive-compulsive disorder?

    I'm not so sure... I think streaming has striped away the causal movie watcher (i.e. most of the population!) across a variety of age brackets. But there are still hardcore film (and for the sake of this topic TV) lovers, who still feel the need to collect physical copies of their favourite...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    Yes it was very disappointing, especially since I've amassed a huge collection of Warner DVD titles over the years -- I'm worried about what else may fail on me now. As a result, over the past few months, I have now been importing far less Warner DVD & Blu-ray titles to the UK from the US. But...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    I've had a couple of Warner DVD titles go bad also -- when I enquired about a replacement I was informed they wouldn't be prepared to ship new copies to me here in the UK (even if I paid for shipping!).

    Is collecting excessive amounts of TV shows on DVD a hobby OR an obsessive-compulsive disorder?

    It's great having a large film collection as it allows you to craft an evenings (or even a seasons!) entertainment on a whim. For example my wife & I have been doing a film noir every Sunday since Christmas. It's been great digging through my collection, which often leads us to new avenues of...

    Reflections In A Golden Eye DVD

    I just checked my Reflections and Babes in Arms discs -- both from the original box sets and both faulty. Damn! Hadn't watched either of them. Makes me wonder how many of my other thousands of other DVDs are now faulty... Might write Warner an email and see if they'll offer a replacement. :-(...
