A Few Words About A few words about...™ Grand Prix -- in HD-DVD (1 Viewer)

The first thing I noticed, after the overture, was the great MGM Lion. Hmmmm. I wonder how many other older MGM films Warner has the rights to release....

Warner owns everything MGM ever made before 1986.

 

[Edwin-S]

That can't be totally accurate because most of the Bond films were made before 1986 and Warner doesn't own them. What other major pre-'86 MGM productions are owned by a studio other than Warners?

"number of movie titles owned by each studio" can mean many things.

As a start, what is a "movie title?"

 

[MarekM]

I am sorry, I was not clear in my question.

"How many movies has each studio in their LIBRARY", or to how many movies they own rights for dvd and hd distribution. I just wanted to make a little table. To find out to how big library have access blu-ray and to how big library hd-dvd.

Marek

P.S. I hope I am more clear now.....

 

[Robert Harris]

Sorry, what is a "movie?"

The holdings of studios are inclusive of feature films, newsreels, cartoons, shorts, documentaries, and occasionally a separate arena for "B" westerns.

Hence the query, "what is a movie?"

Thanks for posting the link to that old article. It explained a lot. I forgot that Bond titles were UA product.

Can anyone tell me if this has the extras that were on the standard dvd release were carried over to the HD-dvd release? Now that I have a hd-dvd player, this is tops on my list so I don't have to flip it over to watch the second part of the movie.

 

[Roger Rollins]

Everything that was on the DVD set is on the HD DVD disc.

...and if you thought the DVD was gorgeous (which it is)..your socks are going to be knocked off on the HD DVD.

I watched Grand Prix on HD DVD the other night, and it was impressive! I loved the feeling of being in the race car. Great camera angles, and excellent sound effects.

I do agree, though, that the plot is a big soap-opera. Nevertheless, the racing action more than makes up for it.

 

[Douglas Monce]

The plot is really just an excuse for the racing scenes. Don't worry too much about it.

This transfer is what Patton at least should have been in overall PQ. It has mild DNR applied but retains the sharpness and details. No waxy actors here.

First time seeing it on HD DVD just last week. I wish I've seen it earlier

Welcome, Xylon.
