    Will Streaming end our DVD Collecting?

    Apologies if this is being discussed elsewhere at HTF that I'm unaware of, but over at another message board there's a discussion going on about the current streaming that NETFLIX is offering, and how one day it will obliterate DVDs.As a diehard collector of movies, someone who likes to OWN a...

    WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY? (1981) DVD mystery

    I've wanted to get the Richard Dreyfuss film WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY? on DVD for a long time, and it seems to be a mystery regarding this movie's availability on DVD. My research shows that it was released on DVD in 2007 by Warner, yet is already out of print and commanding high prices. Some...

    2010 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

    This idea was very successful in 2009, so let's keep it going for 2010! For the upcoming New Year 2010, I'd like to see if we fans of TV shows can try and maintain a faithful list of every individual episode that we watch from all our favorite TV programs. There are no rules. Everyone can...

    Cronenberg remaking THE FLY again????

    Apparently Cronenberg is remaking his 1986 remake of THE FLY. So where is this Modern Remake Epidemic Insanity going to end? Is there no shame? Is anything and everything fair game - even modernized remakes of modernized remakes? And in this case, we had a 1986 remake which is generally...

    FRIDAY THE 13TH SERIES: Uncut Footage at last?

    I hope it's okay that I'm borrowing this post from FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE COMMUNITY, which talks about an interview posted on Bloody Disgusting.com: This is an interview that is posted on B-D with director of HNWJ, Daniel Ferrands. He mentions helping Paramount work on the SE's for 4-6 and 7...

    BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) - Best DVD to get??

    I just rented this and liked it (I watched the 2006 standard DVD) and now I'd like to own it -- only trouble is, there are a LOT of DVDs out there, including the recent Blu-ray ... and I'd like to know what the BEST release is? The 2006 DVD looked pretty crappy, and I've read that the...

    2009 TRACK THE TV EPISODES YOU WATCH

    I've seen a variant of this idea pop up now and again in the TV section, but it never lasts very long and is usually unsuccessful and forgotten. For the upcoming New Year 2009, I'd like to see if we fans of TV shows can try and maintain a faithful list of every individual episode that we watch...

    THREAD OF HORRORS

    We're having such a good time over in the annual October "SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE" thread that I really will be sorry to see it go (as some others have expressed). I have really been enjoying reading everyone's comments on all the horror/sci-fi films they've been watching all month and I hate to...

    Since WB went BluRay Exclusive, Any SD Fans Going Over?

    While I am pleased that it finally sounds like the format war may indeed be on the road to its conclusion (it was always idiotic to have two competing HD formats) I am in no hurry. I've predicted from the very start of this, a year and a half ago or whenever it was, that the only way any HD...

    Titles, Cast, Director - AFTER the Film?

    I've been noticing that today, more often than not it seems, the title of a movie and the director, actors, and other details are being left until AFTER the film ends.... what's up with that?

    Bruce Lee GAME OF DEATH Help Needed

    I was watching AMC today and I saw a documentary (I think it was a documentary) featuring all of the existing fight scenes footage from Bruce Lee's GAME OF DEATH. I've been interested in getting a copy of the film in R1, but my question is --- are ALL of the fight sequences in the tower (with...

    ALL IN THE FAMILY Season 5

    Hmmm. I didn't even know this was coming out, but when I checked the "Weekly Roundup", there it was! So I was off today and able to drive right to Best Buy at 10 am and pick that sucker up. Anyone else get it? I'm glad the show has been released to DVD through the fifth season, and I'll...

    Help! My type just got smaller!

    I just loaded some new virus protection into my computer and started the whole thing over from scratch. But for some reason, the result has been that the lettering here at HTF (and other message boards) has shrunk down to be very tiny. Can anyone tell me how to get back to the larger type size...

    Computer Help Needed

    I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction here. For the past couple of days, every time I turn my computer on I am no longer remembered on any of the forums I like to visit, and I have to Log In each and every time, for every one of them. I'm a real novice when it comes to...

    What to do about that sticky residue from security labels?

    Okay, this is time for one of those more anal concerns. Lately, almost every DVD (or CD for that matter) that I buy retains that sticky slime on its cover, no matter how slowly and methodically I try to remove those clear stickers on the top, bottom and sides of the cases. How the heck do you...

    Where is THE ODD COUPLE?

    I heard quite some time ago that THE ODD COUPLE was on Paramount's scedule. Is this still the case? It's a great sitcom, and I'm eager to pick up all 5 seasons. Same goes for three of my DVD-collecting friends.

    LOST IN SPACE Season Three, Vol. 2

    Well, the series is now complete on DVD and I can retire my old tapes from 1989 that were recorded off the USA cable network. I've defended these sub-par, no-frills DVD releases all along, but now that I'm assured that all 83 episodes have seen the light of day, I can be more critical of...

    Drive-In Theatre Help Needed

    Are DVD-R's ever Sticky???

    Here's the newest fun development in the wacky world of DVD-R burning. I just bought a spindle of SONY discs to try out. When I got the wrapping off the package, I went to remove the top disc and it felt really, really sticky along the edge. Then, when I ran my hand alongside the entire "wall"...

    HTF REVIEW: Warner Brothers Gangster Collection (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED).

    I enjoyed them. Not earth shattering perhaps, but I'd rather have them than not and I enjoyed hearing Scorsese. And not to beat a dead horse, but I also agree with your take on the "uptight world of today". :)

    How about that SE for THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST?

    I remember reading that there might be a SE with extras for THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, somewhere for Easter 2005. Because of this, I've (so far) resisted buying the movie-only DVD, to avoid a double dip. Any news?

    Are directors always distinctive?

    I don't always think they are, though there are exceptions (Hitchcock, Welles, Kubrick...) Many film fans tend to refer to a film as the directors' own baby with regard to virtually ANY movie. For example, they'll say: "Franklin Schaffner's PLANET OF THE APES," or "Roy William Neill's...
