    Good Home Theater Showroom in NYC area?

    Can anyone recommend a good HT store in Manhattan or Brooklyn, one that would give me a good demonstration of LCD TVs? I'm looking to buy my first one and I'd like to bring a stack of DVDs with me to test the waters, so a place that's especially friendly to the specific needs of a buyer is a...

    SD DVDs on LCD monitors: Is it just me?

    I don't know what else to call this thread and I feel like such a Johnny-come-lately to this technology and discussion. I'm due to buy my first TV in 10 years. I'm very brand-loyal, at least with TVs, so that means I'm looking at a Sony. As for my viewing tastes, I like old films, mainly from...

    Who owns the All the President's Men Laserdisc?

    Please clarify something for me before I go insane. I remember there being one, perhaps 2 trailers on the laserdisc of All the President's Men, with one being constructed largely from still from the film and dialog over top. Is that true? It's a really trailer and yet it ISN'T on the new double...

    Jaws II trailer

    Does the Jaws II DVD come with a trailer only or both the theatrical and the teaser? If it has a teaser, can anyone describe it to me? Thanks!!

    Wyler’s “Hell’s Heroes” on DVD?

    Has anyone ever heard of this 1930 film coming out on DVD? I believe it’s the second filming of the Peter Kyne story “The Three Godfathers” and arguably the best. Visually stunning and unsentimental as you can get (just the title change alone hints to it’s rough edges). The ideal DVD would...

    Great Trailers on DVDs—especially 70s trailers

    I’m a big fan of trailers—at least I was growing up. I’m sure it’s some kind of rite of passage to tire of them, but the cynic in me does think they’d become rather uniform in the last 15 years. But rather than complain, I’d rather praise the virtues of the trailers from 67 to 79, (what I think...

    Marat/Sade opening/closing credits

    I don’t know if this the right forum to bring this up—but it does refer to the DVD version of the film as much as any other version. (And the long, long, long, discussion about the ending of “Time After Time” is on this forum, right?) OK. This is for those familiar with the film “Marat/Sade”...

    Soderbergh commentary on Erin Brockovich

    What's the story? Why is there only one on the outtakes and not for the feature. I love his commentaries and he has some great stuff to say on this DVD--but it only seems to scratch the surface. Also, he starts off without any kind of introduction, which seems weird. Does anybody know if one was...

    Animal House and Sam Cooke

    Has anyone purchased the new edition of Animal House and does it have the Sam Cooke song "What a Wonderful World" (aka "Don't Know Much about History"). That's the song that's playing when John Belushi loads up his tray in the cafeteria line. It is in both the film and cable versions, however...
