Watching the 3D, it surprised me by turning out to be a far better movie than I had been led to believe, and I regret its commercial failure which prevents it, I'm sure, from spawning sequels. I've seen it four times and like it better each time. The one thing about it that needs to be called...

David Lean's multi-million-dollar production, Bridge on the River Kwai was released with Alec Guinness's name spelled wrong as "Guiness" in the main and end credits both -- and he won the Oscar for the role!! (It's since been fixed.) (You can see the misspelling in early VHS tapes.) Roger...

Picnic Punch-Drunk Love A Man for All Seasons

I think it's more reasonable to include it in the "Gandhi" box because the main feature is a 50+ minute Gandhi documentary. That's where I keep my DVD.

Shorthand. Of course I know that. Lean "had" photographed, I guess I meant.

By the way, I'm not a "stunt coordinator". Does anyone know how I can change this description under my name? I have no idea how this got here!

I have two Sony XBR-55X930D 4K 3D televisions. My friend in New Jersey has an LG 65". He sees this problem as well, and he's an expert on color and various formats of film lab work. I'm not -- but I'm a knowledgeable film aficionado, more towards film directors and film history. Does...

I have had a long history of studying and teaching film, and worked in my youth in a film studio in Philadelphia (where David Lynch used to come occasionally before he was famous), even making amateur films. I have been a projectionist during the carbon arc days as well when xenon lamps and...

Don't tell me it's my set that needs adjusting. The scenes that follow later (when Sharif rides in) the sky becomes blue and the color improves. Go to the first several shots in Chapter 5 on the 4K. There is almost no color, and the sky isn't blue. It's totally desaturated and looks...

Go to Chapter 5. The color is WASHED OUT, and the sky doesn't even look blue. The blood on the Arab's head isn't bright red. Compare it with the Blu-ray. (And I'm not the only one -- an expert in New Jersey has confirmed this mistake in transfer.)

Now I hope they send out a corrected disc of DISC ONE of the 4K Lawrence feature. They badly messed up the color. Go to CHAPTER 5 and you see a few minutes of O'Toole on the desert (lying down playing with his compass, and some scenes following). This part looks almost black and white with...

HARDLY PERFECT, ROBERT HARRIS!!! Sony should instigate a recall of Disc 1 of the 4K of "Lawrence of Arabia". Go to chapter 5 and see a scene just before Omar Sharif rides in that is totally washed out, almost without color. It looks terrible. This is NOT the way the film was in the theater, or...

"Canyon Passage" is a superb western from one of the finest Hollywood directors of the era. This is an underrated (and mostly unknown) little gem that is a delight from start to finish.

Compared to Hitchcock, DePalma is a pipsqueak. Obsession is okay, but it doesn't stand on its shoulders; it coils around the foot of its foundation like an eel around a monument.

I've had a few titles (NOT Twilight Time) in my collection develop something called "disc rot". But in that case, usually the disc cannot be read by a Blu-ray player at all. A few Criterions had this problem (and they admitted manufacturing flaws in a few 'batches'), and at least one foreign...

I wish there existed a clip from the Dinah Shore Show in which Orson Welles appeared, and he proceeded to analyze the very process of art (at least as far as the domination of men in the field in the past) as (and I'm summing up an old memory here) a male honoring a female whom he thinks is his...

My Bests this year (a few still to see): ROMA BLACKkKLANSMAN THE FAVOURITE 22 JULY UNSANE FIRST MAN ANNIHILATION A QUIET PLACE RED SPARROW

...And I hope the irreverent and offensive 'colorized version' is NOT included. It deserves to go the way of button-shoes and fake Picassos.

I'm buying this in 3D from the UK. WHY ON EARTH ARE 3D TITLES RELEASED IN THEATERS HERE IN THE U.S. THEN NOT RELEASED HERE ON BLU-RAY 3D????

TOTALLY CORRECT. One of the best films of its time, this movie is a masterpiece that shines today as brightly as ever. And Shue IS transcendent!

I LOVE "Gloria"!!!!!

"THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL" (John Sturges' Ultra Panavision) "THE GO-BETWEEN" (Joseph Losey's Cannes winner) "BOUND FOR GLORY" (Hal Ashby's pic on Woody Guthrie) "SAVAGE MESSIAH" (Ken Russell's biopic) "MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON" (Bob Rafelson) "RAISE THE RED LANTERN" (Zhang Yimou) "DAYS OF RUNNING...

"The Wild Bunch" and "Vertigo" (over 50 times) "Doctor Zhivago" (over 30 times) "Mulholland Dr.", "Blade Runner", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Women in Love", "Cries and Whispers", many more.

I prefer the 3D usually, but the 3D image of "Blade Runner 2049" is too dark and substandard (and, of course, the Atmos track is dropped on the 3D disc!!!). I may show it to my girlfriend in 2D and Atmos Blu-ray. Does anyone else notice the 3D Blu-ray is fairly poor in image quality?

Where is Thriller on your list? A great two-season show with Boris Karloff hosting.

Why aren't any of you talking about "Dolores Clailborne"? I think it's easily the finest film made from King's books.

This IS the worst film I've seen in a decade. In fact, when the end credits starting rolling, I stood up, faced the audience and yelled out, "This is the biggest piece of ---- I have seen in a movie theater in years!" Anyone who knows me knows this is virtually inconceivable for me to do...

I own an older model that is still great, but it's time to upgrade. I'd love to have this in my home!
