PAL speedup? All I can tell you is that we've been watching Val Lewton films, Laurel & Hardy shorts, Astaire/Rogers musicals, et al for 2 years and nobody's noticed PAL speedup yet.

Hey, if it doesn't bother you, fine. Lots of people never notice pan & scanning either. But when I watch Das Boot, and it ends 12 minutes earlier than it's supposed to, that's unacceptable to me.

The full 3 1/2 hour cut of DAS BOOT would end about 8 minutes sooner with PAL conversion, and personally, I excuse myself that long to pee over the course of a 3 1/2 hour movie. But if it doesn't bother you that you're missing a lot of great movies on DVD, fine. Lots of people think Laurel & Hardy only made two movies, THE FLYING DEUCES and UTOPIA.

 

[Steve...O]

Bowery Boys
The Thin Man series
The Saint/Falcon series
RKO Tarzans
Storm Warning
Knute Rockne, All American
Kings Row
Pipe Dream #1: The 1930's Perry Mason movies
Pipe Dream #2: The Warren William Signature Collection (Skyscraper Souls, Employees Entrance, Satan Met a Lady, Don't Bet on Blondes, Dragon Murder Case)


I would also mention the Charlie Chan/Moto films but that would require them being owned by a studio willing to actually release them.

[george kaplan]

So what? Lots of people don't even know who Laurel & Hardy are. What's that got to do with PAL speedup?

 

[Claude North]

I don't think anyone else mentioned these yet (and my apologies to those who have):

Shanks

The Legend of Lylah Clare

The Night of the Iguana

House of Dark Shadows

Night of Dark Shadows (restored 129 minute version)

Play It As It Lays (does this film ever turn up anywhere?)

Qui-Etes Vous, Polly Magoo?

Who Killed Teddy Bear?

 

[CraigL]

George, You're my hero. Where are you when I'm arguing with people who tell me it doesn't exist or that I have dog ears for hearing it?

 

[Chris Stainton]

Absolutely!

 

[Mark Bendiksen]

The Pirates of Penzance

 

[Brent Avery]

That is a list of some of the films I keep - whether they all merit a release is debatable - I don't even know alot of them but almost anything half decent from the 50's through to the early '70's is acceptable to me - in light of what they churn out today in general there is no comparison.
