Start with RYAN'S DAUGHTER, the best-looking DVD ever made.
Or maybe not.
Maybe RYAN'S DAUGHTER will spoil you forever.
Maybe RYAN'S DAUGHTER isn't fair to other DVD's.
... because no other DVD you watch will look as good.
"... little by little the look of the country
changes because of the people we admire."

Every time I upgrade a piece of equipment in my installation, I play the same movie:
Memento LE. Great photography in real Scope, excellent picture quality, mixture of colour and B&W. And one of my favourite movies.
It has become some kind of a statement.  |

Whenever I add something new to my HT I play the same movie - JAWS. Not because it's a pristine transfer or anything, but because I know this movie almost frame by frame, I've seen it so many times, and would be able to tell if the upgrade had been worth it!
And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

JARHEAD and HARRY POTTER & THE GOBLET OF FIRE both were released today. They would be good.
