Maybe on your next trip to the video store (or Netflix) you may want to check some of these out.ChinatownNorth By NorthwestRear WindowCitizen KaneLawrence of ArabiaThe ExorcistKing Kong (1933)ScaramoucheThe French ConnectionCasablancaPsycho (1960)Once Upon A Time In The WestThe Ghost and Mrs. MuirDersu UzalaTaxi DriverThe Bride of FrankensteinThe Taking of Pelham One Two ThreeSunset BoulevardWest Side StorySpartacusNow let's begin round two.

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I have a pretty clear definition of Bad taste: Liking Zimmer and Co. you earned it.I know there are far worse things in this life than being lectured about what movies you should see.

robthehand 3 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 LOL I don't have a lot of "old" movies on DVD, but I've seen quite a lot - mostly on TV or rented DVDs. I don't own that many DVDs at all, actually, whenever I'm in a store I always end up buying CDs. I'll probably start collecting films properly when HD comes along (and I can afford it). I hear The Adventures of Robin Hood is going to be released in HD soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Re-releases in higher definition format is great for dubbing users. We get acustomed with the old mix and then they redub it with the latest 5.1 or whatever technology. It ruins the magic IMO. Miraculously SW has not suffered this yet...

What is so difficult or wrong about that? Or did you not read the original thread that spawned this idea?I'll recommend Gojira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
