    ClassicFlix RARE TELEVISION Thread

    Yes. It was titled "The Restless Sea" and was the last of the series airing in 1964. It is not as clever as the Capra produced episodes that preceeded it, but is notable for the deep water bioluminescent animated sea life sequence in the film. Originally created for Disney's 20,000 Leagues...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Paint Your Wagon -- in 4k UHD

    While I've watched this spectacular 4K disc five times already because I feel the opposite! To me the stage bound operetta on which it is based is excruciating to sit through. The movie brings to life a mythic part of America only its gorgeous setting art direction, choral work and music can...

    I upgraded my monitor to 21:9 - I love it so far

    Can you play 4K 2.35 scope movies using the LG's entire screen? That should be another amazing capability if you can. I went with a native 2.35 projector for the scope advantage alone.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Paint Your Wagon -- in 4k UHD

    According to the Paint Your Wagon commentary track, the film made a good amount of money, just not enough to cover its massive production costs. That qualifies it as a bomb in the company of films like Disney's Sleeping Beauty where costs affected initial profitability, but not artistic...

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Press Release: Friendly Persuasion (1956) (Blu-ray)

    I "like" all of the titles discussed for what they are and have no trouble watching them whenever the opportunity presents itself. However, to equate awards and critical reviews with greatness over lasting value is somewhat shortsighted. The Wizard of Oz would be lost to the dust bin of time if...

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Press Release: Friendly Persuasion (1956) (Blu-ray)

    The Ten Commandments is the only film from that group that has the honor of still being shown regularly every year on broadcast television. So much for the Awards and critics which fade away with time...If a film still resonates with audience as The Ten Commandments does, that's what is most...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Abyss -- in 4k UHD

    My Oppo player is prone to freezing 4K titles during the 3rd layer of a 100gb disc. Watched the entire extended version of The Abyss last night and there was no glitching anywhere during the entire film. I thought it looked and sounded very impressive.

    Best Buy To Exit Physical Media Business In 2024

    Like everyone has said, frequent visits were a usual thing for me...even getting there before opening to be sure of picking up a BB limited edition. I have shifted the quest for instant gratification to Barnes and Noble. Their staff is courteous and they offer points for a slight discount. Low...

    UHD Review Paint Your Wagon UHD/Blu-ray Review

    If this film is classified as a "Musical Comedy", then the clever and comedic songs and dialogue are there to balance the beautiful ballads. I think the balance in the filmed version of Paint Your Wagon is just about right. As for the dance and ballet work prominent on stage, retooling these...

    Blu-ray Review Doctor Dolittle (1967) Blu-ray Review

    I saw that London version of Dolittle. Julie Andrews recorded the voice of Polynesia the Parrot and the star was Phillip Schofield of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat soundtrack fame. Peter Gallager had a small part in thi production.

    UHD Review Paint Your Wagon UHD/Blu-ray Review

    Thanks for confirming the great technical attributes of this transfer, but all of us that love this film (and I can assure you there are more than 10) can't wait for this to be released! I had a friend who had an annual Paint Your Wagon party for many years and there is a nearby BarBQ...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Abyss -- in 4k UHD

    Picked up my copy at Barnes and Noble Thursday night after seeing it was in stock and available for pickup. When I went to the disc area, it was nowhere to be seen. The clerk saw that it was in their computer, but suspected it hadn't been "put out yet"! (a full 2 days after release date). I...

    RYAN’S DAUGHTER: Discussions for a BD Release (2015 - 2024)

    I do not buy non authorized copies from eBay or any other non retail establishments. If the #1 online retailer (Amazon) has been knowingly and very publically selling a major title here in the US for over 8 years, why is it the consumers responsibility to research the pedigree? It's the...
