I want this one for nostalgic reasons-parts of the movie were filmed in the neighborhood I grew up in in Grand Rapids Mi. While it is not the best movie Paul Schrader has made by any means, the Christian Reformed/Dutch Calvinist families he portrayed were dead on. I went to the same church that...

You really can't go wrong with anything by Francis Ford Coppola, Ridley Scott, David Fincher, or Roger Ebert. One of my favorites I don't recall being mentioned is the Wolfgang Peterson commentary on Das Boot. Very informative and entertaining as well. I also found Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon...

Marco, State of Grace is anamorphic. The transfer is okay, not great but definetly watchable. I can't see them doing a special edition on this one, and given the low price I wouldn't hesitate on this one. This was the first film saw Gary Oldman in and when I found out later he is English I was...

Charlie Sheen. He looked like he was going to be a major star after doing Platoon and Wall Street and hasn't had an important role since.

61*, great movie, excellent dvd

The Sunset Boulevard commentary by Ed Sikov is also excellent, very entertaining and informative.

Mine was wrinkled too, and the plastic on the front had come loose. Went back and exchanged it for a new one.

I am very pleased with mine. Picture will need a litle minor tweaking out of the box but is very good once you adjust it. Picture quality with anamorphic squeeze on is amazing (I'm using component cables). Sound quality is probably the best I've heard on a 27". I think it is the best tv for the...

THe JVC 3230 does it, but you have to access it fromthe service menu.

Blake, I bought an Akai 27" for the bedroom and couldn't be happier with it. It does an anamorphic squeeze from the remote and the picture looks incredible with an anamorphic enchanced dvd. The picture looks like crap out of the box but with a little adjusting it's great.I don't think it can be...

The Akai is actually a clone of the Samsung, same tv , made by Samsung and rebadged as an Akai.It's a great tv for $379.

Steve, I have the same JVC 32" tv your friend does and it is a great tv. I would think the 27" would perform as well as the 32". I would seriously consider looking at the Samsung Dynaflat flat screen 27". They have component and s-video inputs and do the anamorphic squueze from the remote.The...

Make sure whatever you are looking at has component inputs and is able to do an anamorphic squeeze. The difference in picture quality is amazing and in your price range you should expect these features. I know the JVC does the squeeze( although you have to acess it from the service menu) and has...

I bought a 27" flat screen for the bedroom because it was the biggest tv I could have possibly fit (my house has small bedrooms). I have a 32" in the living room (non-flat) and I agree that while the screen size gives you more impact, the flat screen does give you better clarity ( both tv's have...

The Akai I have is the 2791. They only had a display of the 2790. Can't tell you what the difference is, they looked identical. Can't say much about the reliability, I bought it for the bedroom and have only had it about two months, but after some minor tweaking, I am very impressed with the...
