Until I got the DVD of Sixteen Candles, I think I had only seen it on my pre-recorded Beta tape. While the disc certainly looks and sounds great, I noticed at least three scenes missing: 1. Jake tries to call Samantha, but gets grandparents. On the DVD, the original scene where he calls then...
I have recently started burning DVDs on my Mac using iDVD. The first few were home videos, which I haven't watched much. I finally created a DVD of an old B&W movie (It Happens Every Spring) that hasn't made it to DVD yet. The movie was on a Beta tape and recorded off of cable. Since it was less...
Sorry if this has been covered already, but I tried searching and couldn't find an answer. I already own the original DVD of Bull Durham. Is the video quality on the new release significantly better than the original? I don't really care all that much for extras, but would double-dip if the...
I recently found out that King of Hearts (Le Roi de Coeur - 1966) was out on DVD and was wondering how good the disc is. I haven't been able to find any reviews (here or on the web). It looks like it's non-anamorphic, which I can live with, but I'm curious about the subtitles. Since my player...

I don't buy DVDs that are not in their original aspect ratio, but I do occasionally rent them. It is hard to describe just how annoying it is to...
I just watched my old taped-off-cable Beta copy of "It Happens Every Spring" and wondered if there's any chance of this classic baseball fantasy ever being released on DVD. I believe that Fox owns the rights.
I've thought about picking up the existing DVD of A League of Their Own. It can be found for under $15 and it's supposed to have a very good anamorphic transfer (though no extra features, which normally doesn't concern me all that much - just give me the movie!).
Then what's stopping me? This...
