Saw the Titfield Thunderbolt for the first time years ago on my local PBS station and it's one of my favorite British films about a town trying to save their local train service. I guess a early sigh of what Beeching did years later when put the axe to many rail service lines.
It's a shame some of the classic Ealing films like Man in the White Suit, The Titfield Thunderbolt, and The Lavender Hill Mob are not Blu-ray release here but I do have the region B ones and they look great. Glad I have my all region player.
Saw for the first time recently El Cid & Fall of the Roman Empire from the Miriam Collection dvd's and even though the picture quality was not the best like the blu-rays of Circus World or 55 Days of Peking which I have I still enjoyed watching them and got into the story and the beautiful...
Still have a large number of dvd's and only replace them with Blu-ray if the transfer is better and at a good sale price. Still have my laserdiscs (mostly Criterion & Star Wars) and have them on my lower shelf and even if the picture quality is not the best i am happy to still have and play...
