    Cabin on the lake

    My wife and I just purchased a weekend getaway cabin, and I put in a small home theater set up. I won't have dish for a while, and was looking for suggestions for movies with summer, lake, cabin, etc. themes. A few that come to mind are The River Wild, The Great Outdoors, and Funny Farm. Any...

    The 39 steps for a dollar

    I recently saw Hitchcock's The 39 steps for sale for 1.00 at the Dollar Tree. This came in a cardboard envelope with no case. I didn't have the time to look at the specifics of the disc, and was wondering if any one has any information on the quality of the disc. I'm not sure who released it as...

    Best Documentaries

    I love this thread! I almost posted the same thing last night. I watched Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, and was blown away. If you like music, and more importantly Motown, you will love it.

    Opinion on The Sopranos for a blind buy

    Thanks for the information guys. Is this series aspect ratio 16x9, like Band of Brothers? I thought that Band of Brothers had the best video quality of any television production I've ever seen.

    Opinion on The Sopranos for a blind buy

    I was wondering what you guys thought of The Sopranos for a blind buy. I'm not a huge mobster genre fan, but I would rate Goodfellas in my top 5 of all time, and I liked the Godfather films. I also thought that the HBO series Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon were first rate. So...

    Musicals appropriate for 5 y/o

    Thanks for the replies guys. I took your advice, and my 5 y/o, and 2 y/o watched Singin' In The Rain, and we LOVED! it. I can't believe how athletic Gene Kelly, and his fellow dance partners were. Amazing, with great tunes. Thanks again. I will get to several on this list.

    Musicals appropriate for 5 y/o

    Wow, thanks for the replies guys. I should have been more specific Derek and stated OAR, as I would miss out on great musicals from the 50's. There were many good suggestions.

    Musicals appropriate for 5 y/o

    I am unfamiliar with many of the old musical classics, as I've never been fond of this genre. However, I have a 5 y/o daughter who is crazy about them. I'm asking for your opinion on DVD's with widescreen transfers, with relatively good transfers and audio that my daughter might enjoy. I think I...

    Candy Counter, redux

    I used a counter similar to this from a Wal-Mart eyeglass counter, which was lighted, and I got it for free to boot. It really looks great, and I painted it a deep midnight blue to match my decor. Look around for places going out of business, remodeling etc.

    DVD Review HTF Review: Casablanca - 2 Disc SE (Highly Recommended)

    Great review! I shockingly have not seen this movie (Please don't revoke my membership, or send me hate mail), but I plan to buy it when it streets. I'm just getting into older films, but I loved Lawrence of Arabia, and Citizen Kane. I'm sure I will love this one as well.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Lizzie McGuire Movie

    David, just had to throw my 2 cents in and agree that you did a wonderful job on your first review. Talk about tough subject material for the first review! I probably would have broke out in a cold sweat when I opened that package.

    Movie diary

    Pretty interesting guys. I'm doing this primarily so that I can look back in a few years, and see what was going on in my life at the time I made the entries. I not only write about my impressions of the movie, but also what went on during the day, my friends that were over, and my kids...

    Movie diary

    I'm not sure if this "fits" here, but I was wondering if any of you keep a log of the movies you watch. I decided at the start of the year to keep a diary of the films that I have watched, the dates, people I was with, and my overall impression of the film. I have been doing this since Jan 1st...

I appreciate your nudging to buy Moulin Rouge, and Amelie. Two great films, which me and my family have...

    Rocky Horror framing questions

    Thanks for the info guys, all of my other discs seem fine including the other 1.66 transfers, but my symmetry might be off slightly. Thanks again.

    Rocky Horror framing questions

    Does anyone else own this disc? If so, can you tell me if your picture has black bars on both sides, or just the left.

    Rocky Horror framing questions

    I believe this is a 1.66 to 1 transfer, however, on my 16x9 set, I have a black bar on the left hand side, but not one on the right. None of my other 1.66 aspect ratio films have this problem (black bars are symmetrical on both sides of the screen). Does anyone else have this problem, or do I...

    Best Live Concert That You Saw??

    I have seen Prince twice, and they were awesome shows. I also have to give Aerosmith props. As far as those "cheesy 80's Shows" I really enjoyed Styx Paradise Theater tour.

    FS Runco DTV 852 CRT projector

    Thanks for the advice. I've been assaulted by the militant ones before. I guess I should have read this better. I would take 6,000 dollars for this unit.
