My wife and I just purchased a weekend getaway cabin, and I put in a small home theater set up. I won't have dish for a while, and was looking for suggestions for movies with summer, lake, cabin, etc. themes. A few that come to mind are The River Wild, The Great Outdoors, and Funny Farm. Any...
I recently saw Hitchcock's The 39 steps for sale for 1.00 at the Dollar Tree. This came in a cardboard envelope with no case. I didn't have the time to look at the specifics of the disc, and was wondering if any one has any information on the quality of the disc. I'm not sure who released it as...
I was wondering what you guys thought of The Sopranos for a blind buy. I'm not a huge mobster genre fan, but I would rate Goodfellas in my top 5 of all time, and I liked the Godfather films. I also thought that the HBO series Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon were first rate. So...
I am unfamiliar with many of the old musical classics, as I've never been fond of this genre. However, I have a 5 y/o daughter who is crazy about them. I'm asking for your opinion on DVD's with widescreen transfers, with relatively good transfers and audio that my daughter might enjoy. I think I...
I'm not sure if this "fits" here, but I was wondering if any of you keep a log of the movies you watch. I decided at the start of the year to keep a diary of the films that I have watched, the dates, people I was with, and my overall impression of the film. I have been doing this since Jan 1st...
I believe this is a 1.66 to 1 transfer, however, on my 16x9 set, I have a black bar on the left hand side, but not one on the right. None of my other 1.66 aspect ratio films have this problem (black bars are symmetrical on both sides of the screen). Does anyone else have this problem, or do I...
I am interested in selling my Runco DTV 852 projector. This particular projector is about 2 years old, with a new CPU board. It has an internal line doubler, as well as 7 inch CRT's. I would be willing to make a good deal on this unit. If interested, please e-mail me at...
I picked this title up used for 32.00, and it was a blind purchase. It was produced by ESPN, and is extremely well done. I would highly recommend this title for any college football fan. The video is what you would expect with old clips, 4x3 etc. It is in stereo, I believe. Have any of you seen...
Do any of you have any favorite DVD's of live music events etc. 16x9 presentations would be preferred and music style can be varied. Are there any exceptional sounding DVD's out there as well. Thanks
I'm sorry if this has already been discussed ( I did a thread search and nothing came up ), but I just purchased Beauty and The Beast, and there were at least 5 episodes of audio drop out. I own a Denon DVD player (first generation), and have never had any technical glitches with this machine...
I'm thinking about ordering this. I have read great reviews on this one, but I must admit, I am just getting into foreign film. (just finished The Vanishing which was great!) Does anyone else recommend this film?
I have a refurbished Runco DTV 852 projector for sale. This unit was a replacement for a previous unit which malfunctioned. It is a new chassis including new boards, and CRT's. I am selling this due to the fact that I'm not a "tweaker", and I would like to purchase a DLP projector. ( No tricky...
I just got through watching George Sluizer's The Vanishing, and was very impressed. I thought that the American version with Kiefer Sutherland was O.K, but I don't understand the dramatic changes in the 2 scripts. I realize that it was a marketing ploy by the US studio releasing the film, but I...
