This letter is incredibly tough for me because I have several titles that get a lot of repeat play in my house. I am going to go with Eagles: Hell Freezes Over, which edges the others out only because I use it so much as a demo disk when friends come over. Runners-up: ELO: Zoom Tour Live...

Moving on to our next letter: For me it's got to be Dr. Strangelove, followed by Damn the Defiant! and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Most wanted "D" title: Duck Soup

OK, now that we've covered letters "A" and "B" let's move on to "C." This one's a little tougher for me, having to decide between Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and A Christmas Story, but I am going to have to go with: Casablanca Most wanted "C" dvd...

This one is a no-brainer for me: Brazil: Criterion Collection . Runner-up: Ben-Hur Most wanted: Band of Brothers.

I got this idea from listening to a sports talk show--they started by asking who was the best athlete to wear the number "1" then went on to number "2" etc. I thought it would be fun to change it slightly for dvds. If it catches on, we'll go on to do the rest of the alphabet, maybe on a weekly...

For what it's worth, I just received an e-mail from Barnes and Noble promoting a buy 2 get 1 free dvd sale. This is an in-store only event, and lasts from June 1 to June 30. I'm not sure if there are any limitations on the sale prices. Though Barnes and Noble has some of the highest prices...

I'm trying to put together a list of the Fox Collector's Edition dvds (not to be confused with the Fox Studio Classics), and I'm having a devil of a time finding a list of them anywhere. Anyone know where a list might be (I tried searching the HTF and came up empty). I would like a list of the...

There is a banner in this Sunday's Fred Meyer ad over the top of Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty and The Jungle Book 2 that reads "These Disney Classics are going into the vault." Is this just a sales gimmick, or will this happen soon? Fantasia is on my wish list, and I may bump it up higher if it is...

I've not seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and I have a question about it. My wife saw it for the first time on network TV a couple of days ago and she noticed something curious: there is one scene where someone (a grandmother I think) is asked to say a prayer, and she says the Pledge...

Am I correct in seeing that the new Hornblower movies will be shown on A&E in the US on December 2 and 3, and then they will be released on region 1 DVDs on December 9 (or December 11, according to Amazon)? I'm aware that other countries have seen these movies earlier this year, but that...

I'd like to come up with a fairly comprehensive list of good movies that are set on board tall ships during the Age of Sail. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm only interested in movies involving historical sailing ships (not movies like The Perfect Storm). Here are the ones I am familiar...

2003 seems to me to have been a huge year for the dvd format. I've only been into this hobby for a couple of years, so I can't imagine what a year it's been for those of you who have been collecting longer. This year has seen the release of some of my most wanted dvds, either for the first time...

Like others on this forum, I was looking forward to picking this up on October 7. I was just checking Amazon's price for it and got this message:

October and November are going to be heavy spending months for me, so I'm reluctant to buy any older DVDs right now, but I saw Dark City at a local store for 10 bucks. I've seen positive and negative reviews of the film. Should I make a blind buy while it's so cheap? Some of my favorite...

I want to start lending my DVDs to friends, but I'm paranoid that they'll get damaged. I've already got some extra cases to use to protect the originals, and I use DVD Profiler so I can remember who I've lent them to, but I was wondering if there were any other tips to keep in mind. Is there...

I just saw this on Amazon today and was very pleased to see it. It lists at $22.99, which seems a bit on the spendy side, but maybe it will have some good supplements. I just hope it is OAR. Amazon did not have many specs. I enjoyed this almost as much as the first one, though I missed Kirk...

I'm shopping around for a movie with great music and sound, on the order of Streets of Fire, Little Shop of Horrors, Moulin Rouge. Something modern enough to have a great 5.1 soundtrack, where the music takes center stage and blows you away. It doesn't have to be a musical. I'm hoping someone...

I saw this title on sale for $5.99 (regularly $7.50) at a local store and wondered about the video and sound quality, or if perhaps there is a special edition in the works and they are trying to clear out old stock. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. Nick

First, let me apologize about the length of this post, but I couldn't describe my problem in any other way. I have a question about selecting the proper listening mode for a dvd. I have a Kenwood VR-507 that normally does a good job selecting the automatic surround mode for a dvd. But I recently...
