My ideal Atmos setup would be centered around this Onkyo receiver, of course. It would rely on good source material, and good speakers to highlight the audio qualities of the Atmos system. And there would be plenty of comfortable furniture. :)

According to Dolby, Atmos for the home brings the ultimate cinema sound experience to your home theater to create powerful, moving audio that flows around you. I would like to have this as an upgrade to my attic home theater.

Glad to hear the compromise cut is now available on disc. I may be in the minority, but I like having both options (and no, I'm not interested in "Love Conquers All").

It should be noted (for those who have multi-region players) that some of the Treasures not available here are still available in the UK. I recently got Silly Symphonies and Mickey in Color Vol. 1 for 5.98 and 4.08 (GBP) respectively, from amazon.co.uk. I believe SS is higher now, but Mickey...

Finally get to cross this one off the ol' waiting list. Thanks for the review!

$100? Damn, late again to the sell-off party. . . . Glad to finally be able to get a DVD of this one!

I bought mine at Costco this week for 21.99. There were at least five more, left for other fortunate souls. . . .

Found this today in my scan of Amazon offerings: Amazon.com: Alec Guinness Collection (5pc) (Dub Gift): Alec Guinness: Movies & TV The studio appears to be Lionsgate -- I hadn't heard that they'd picked up the Anchor Bay set, but then maybe those films are all public domain(?). Anybody...

After reading over in the HD Software forum that Baron Munchausen is coming on Blu-Ray in April, I did a quick search on Amazon and found that a 2-disc DVD appears to be coming as well (no significant details yet though). Good news, if it pans out! Amazon.com: The Adventures of Baron...

Thank you Gary. Looks like the new flipper has more visual info on all sides (at least on that first cap). Not too much money for the double-dip, that's for sure, especially as Jean/Manon is one of my all-time favorite movie experiences.

Not particularly interested in ANNE, but I've been wondering where MARY was for a long time now. Bravo, Universal. With this release, Warner's Shakespeare collection and Warner/BBC's Dracula (with Louis Jourdan), the late summer is going to fill some major holes in this Anglophile's...

This from today's Digital Bits: Be advised that the version of Count Dracula that Warner is releasing for the BBC on 9/25 (SRP $14.98) is the 3-part miniseries from 1977, staring Suzanne Shepherd, Frank Finlay, Louis Jourdan, Mark Burns, Judi Bowker and Susan Penhaligon. It's widely regarded...

FINALLY! I bought a copy on the UK ebay site a couple years ago, and couldn't imagine what has held it up from US release. It is simply the best adaptation of Dracula that I have ever seen (warts and all, of course -- the film/video techniques of the day may be off-putting for some). Horray...
