That is sort of my point also. I was part of a generation that grew up with few options regarding film ownership. Today's 18 year old came of age in a world with practically everything available and multiple ways of consuming it. I doubt their will ever be a repeat of the phenomena that made...

With the enormous catalogue of popular music albums available for repressing to new generations of collectors vs the now almost depleted library of popular film catalog titles, it's a very different purchasing market. The film collectors must make due with current theatricals, quality upgrades...

3 from Disney... Sleeping Beauty Mary Poppins 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea... As well as many of the titles mentioned so far like Ben Hur, Dr. Zhivago and Hello Dolly. Paint Your Wagon is so great in 4K, I can only imagine how much more immersive the big classics from the 50's/60's would be if...

Yes. It was titled "The Restless Sea" and was the last of the series airing in 1964. It is not as clever as the Capra produced episodes that preceeded it, but is notable for the deep water bioluminescent animated sea life sequence in the film. Originally created for Disney's 20,000 Leagues...

While I've watched this spectacular 4K disc five times already because I feel the opposite! To me the stage bound operetta on which it is based is excruciating to sit through. The movie brings to life a mythic part of America only its gorgeous setting art direction, choral work and music can...

Can you play 4K 2.35 scope movies using the LG's entire screen? That should be another amazing capability if you can. I went with a native 2.35 projector for the scope advantage alone.

According to the Paint Your Wagon commentary track, the film made a good amount of money, just not enough to cover its massive production costs. That qualifies it as a bomb in the company of films like Disney's Sleeping Beauty where costs affected initial profitability, but not artistic...

I "like" all of the titles discussed for what they are and have no trouble watching them whenever the opportunity presents itself. However, to equate awards and critical reviews with greatness over lasting value is somewhat shortsighted. The Wizard of Oz would be lost to the dust bin of time if...

The Ten Commandments is the only film from that group that has the honor of still being shown regularly every year on broadcast television. So much for the Awards and critics which fade away with time...If a film still resonates with audience as The Ten Commandments does, that's what is most...

My Oppo player is prone to freezing 4K titles during the 3rd layer of a 100gb disc. Watched the entire extended version of The Abyss last night and there was no glitching anywhere during the entire film. I thought it looked and sounded very impressive.

Like everyone has said, frequent visits were a usual thing for me...even getting there before opening to be sure of picking up a BB limited edition. I have shifted the quest for instant gratification to Barnes and Noble. Their staff is courteous and they offer points for a slight discount. Low...

If this film is classified as a "Musical Comedy", then the clever and comedic songs and dialogue are there to balance the beautiful ballads. I think the balance in the filmed version of Paint Your Wagon is just about right. As for the dance and ballet work prominent on stage, retooling these...

I saw that London version of Dolittle. Julie Andrews recorded the voice of Polynesia the Parrot and the star was Phillip Schofield of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat soundtrack fame. Peter Gallager had a small part in thi production.
