Quo Vadis, on Blu Ray. I was too young to see it at the movies, saw it on TV a few times, but standard definition could not do it justice.
Amazing how much detail. I wondered how they got the effect of motion in the crowds on the matte paintings without computer graphics. They explained it in the accompanying documentary - the artist picked off small areas of paint and moved a patterned sheet behind the matte.

Call Northside 777 from 1948 with Jimmy Stewart. It was fun to see the outdoor scenes shot on location in Chicago.

Hugo, enjoyable, interesting mix of fantasy and fact involving early Cinema.
Shot in 3D but I watched it in 2D.

I tried to watch Eraserhead today. I got about 30 minutes into it and.. i was so lost i just turned it off. Supposedly a classic but.. it was just irritating and confusing to me.

Bullitt was the last movie i saw..
Excellent movie!!!! I just got the VHS tape and the CAR CHASE is even better in ANALOGUE than it is watching it online!! (No surprise there) -- The sound is richer and just more pleasant.... Analogue is the best!!!! -- BEST PICTURE,BEST SOUND!!! (Especially in SP mode) I was introduced to the movie BULLITT a couple years ago when i discovered this clip of the car chase in that movie! http://www.hotrodsandclassics.com/Fu...os/Bullitt.wmv Excellent and BEST CAR CHASE ever!! (And the whole movie is amazing) -- AND IN ANALOGUE ITS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!! (Boy stuff was so good back then!)

Another good car chase was in "Fear Is The Key," but I don't think it's been officially released on DVD in the U.S., and I'm leery of buying "bootlegs." The big chase scene was filmed all over S.E. Louisiana and the Miss. Gulf Coast.

Bulitt....and Gone in 60 Seconds (ORIGINAL one...not the crap remake). Best car chases EVER!!
Also watched "Used Cars" that day....and "Repo Man", which is REAL weird, but pretty fun to see again.

saw To Sir; With Love over the weekend. Reel13 the NY PBS station runs a classic each Sat. night with info from a qualified film buff. I wonder since PBS syndicates stuff like other stations, do any of you guys get reel 13 from WNET in NY over your local pbs stations?
I love car chase stuff too, Vanishing Point is one of my fav's but for car chases although gone in 60 seconds is really good, my top car chase stuff has always been The Rockford Files, and Smokey and the Bandit. Mostly because after a good chase, they each ducked down some street, driveway, etc and watched as they got passes by by their chaser. Also I really love the get away from the bank robbery at the beginning of The Transporter, It had great sound track for the chase, and the fight scene after the Transporters car got blown up. Check it out dudes...

Saw the 1965 version of 10 Little Indians (Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None) last night. I thought it was a little silly at first, but got better when they were down to five "Indians"

I stayed up late last night and watched Runaway Train from 1985 featuring a really over the top performance by Jon Voight.
