    Only if they lack common sense or can't think for themselves. I'm 53 and I look back and can see that some things change for the better and some things change for the worse. Things ALWAYS change , there's no escaping that but it's far from natural to complain about ALL changes. Not only...

    I was around then too and things of the past often can be better but its certainly not always the case. The 3 films mentioned were always good from when they were made and through today. Nobody would have said that older films were better because they weren't. There came a point when the...

    Surely it's quite possible that after several days the 4 copies you left behind had sold with the shelves being replenished. They might not have been the same 4 copies

    And for those who enjoy the music as much as the rest of the film I'm pleased to say the spectacular Varese Sarabande release from 2010 is still available. Its extortionately priced from Amazon sellers but I was well chuffed to find VS still had stock so managed to get it to the UK for just...

    I'm not so sure. As has been said , Peter Hunt did it a lot in those early Bond films and his own OHMSS. And while the moments are all noticeable the only one that looks like it shouldn't be intentional is the moment from Dr No which just looks wrong to me - as with the Spartacus moment it...

    Speaking of the Spartacus soundtrack - I have been forever disappointed that the cd release has very little of the music and seems only to be what would have been released on vinyl and I've never spotted any other versions so I was extremely pleased to see a still on this very site last week...

    Yes but not usually so it results in such an amateurish looking mess as that moment in Dr No

    As it's been there since I first saw the film in the 70's I'm not sure how you can say it was removed because it never has been in any version I've ever seen. When I saw it on tv I thought it was a tatty tv print but when it was still there on commercial releases that's what made me think there...

    Thanks you for confirming that this effect is intentional. That has bugged the hell out of me for nearly 4 decades. I always assumed original film elements might have been lost or damaged. There is a similar effect in the early minutes of Dr No when Strangways secretary is shot. Same story I...

    You think people will still be talking about Gravity in 55 weeks? Let alone 55 years? And since when has critical reception been an accurate guage of how good a film is , let alone short term box office receipts. I got my US release from the UK seller today and it's lovely. Such an...

    I paid £16.99 from an ebay uk seller so I should have it by tuesday or wednesday I hope. I've never seen My Fair Lady ever but decided to get it and ordered it a while back from Amazon Germany for about 7 euros only to find out about the new restoration which is probably why the old one was...
