    Where to buy Croupier on DVD?

    Croupier truly is a small masterpiece. Unfortanately from the customer reviews that I read it is not in Widescreen.

    Anyone pick up Ultraviolet on DVD?

    I've heard a lot of good things about this British Television show but I wanted to hear firsthand from you guys. In case any of you don't know what Ultraviolet is it is a modern tale about Vampires. That's all I know. It is a 2 disc set and it is selling for $29.99 over at Amazon. It is in DD...

    What do you guys think of Netflix?

    I just subscribed to Netflix today with a certain level of skepticism because I've never used an online DVD rental. I was wondering if anyone here is a member and if so are you satisfied with their service? What about selection? Do they usually have the title that you're looking for? What...

    Ultimate Jordan reviews ?

    Guys, I just picked mine up at Best Buy yesterday for $19.99. Before I give my review of the discs themselves I think it's worth mentioning the packaging. This is one of the nicest and sturdiest cases I've seen for a two disc set in a long time. The outside cover is silver and the inside case...

    On the Waterfront - My 2 cents

    I'm a huge Brando fan and I am so happy that this DVD is finally out. You are right, this is an incredible film with so many memorable scenes and great lines. I think this film, A Streetcar Named Desire and The Godfather feature three of Brando's greatest performances. Does the DVD contain...

    Am I the only one NOT buying TPM?

    No you are not alone in this Stewart. I thought that TPM totally sucked and that it was a complete departure from the original vision and style that made the classic trilogy so great. Not to mention that the writing was terrible, the dialogue boring and Jar Jar was the biggest mistake Lucas...

    A question about Amazon.com Snow White offer

    As many of you already know, Amazon.com is offering a free Disney Animation DVD when you buy Snow White. Does anyone know if I can get the free coupon if I buy the DVD at any store or is this just an Amazon.com exclusive offer?

    **** Official review thread: HTF REVIEW: The Godfather (part of The Godfather Collection)

    I just picked mine up this afternoon at this video store that sells DVD's up to five days before their release date. I paid $70.99 for it which is a pretty good price considering Amazon is selling it for $74.99. Unfortanately right now my Dad is watching Barry Bonds try to hit number 70 so...

    Question on Formula 1 DVD -2000

    Ken, I just bought it last night and I paid way too much for it ($19.99 at Tower Records). If you do buy it remember that Amazon is selling it for $14.99. NO, it DOES NOT have the full length of each race just highlights. IMHO, you should still get it because the on board camera shots are...

    Just what exactly is Anamorphic Widescreen?

    I tried to search for a thread that explained what it is but no luck. I see the word being used a lot at HTF and I'd like to know what it means. Can someone please explain without getting too technical what the term "Anamorphic" means and how it works? Thanks

    Scariest, Spookiest, will have nightmares for a week DVD!!!

    As a few have already stated, Clouzot's Diabolique is a must see for Horror fans and will give you chills even after all these years. This film was an acknowledged influence on Hitchcock and is considered a classic. I agree with others in this thread that the remake with Sharon Stone should...

    Armageddon and The Rock on Criterion? What the heck is going on?

    What the hell are these cheesy movies doing on Criterion? I thought that Criterion were all about restoring and preserving important films? Michael Bay's films don't deserve to mentioned in the same breath as Kurosawa, Bergman and Lean!!

    Attn: Radiohead fans

    Ever since I went to see them at The Hollywood Bowl a couple of weeks ago which I must say was one of the most incrdible concerts I have ever been to I have been on a big Radiohead kick ever since. I've been listening to OK Computer over and over and I am convinced that it IS one of the...

    Memento DVD review

    What is up with all these greedy movie studios? I agree with what others are saying. Why don't they just wait a little while and THEN come out with a SE instead of making us buy the DVD twice!?!

    I just got Lawrence Of Arabia and WOW!!

    I just got it for my birthday from a friend and I must say that I am really impressed. It wasn't the features on the DVD that impresed me though but rather the style and the visual beauty of the movie. The photography in this film is incredible and features some of the most memorable scenes in...

    Suggestions for DTS discs for new receiver?

    I haven't started to build a DTS movie collection but for concert DVD's in DTS then I have to agree with everyone that The Eagles Hell Freezes Over is probably the best out there. I also just bought Santana Supernatural and it is impressive but not as clear as The Eagles DVD. Next on my list is...

    Today while I was at Best Buy I had The Usual Suspects in my hand ready to buy it when I was appalled to learn that it is in 2.0 Stereo!! What gives? This is one of the best who-dunnits I have ever seen and the best they can do is 2.0 Stereo?
