... why would they put out Michael Bay crap? Someone please help me understand.

That site is amazing. It's really incredible to see early America (1900's that is) in a medium tha tmost are use to seeing only in B&W. I often try to imagine what a period B&W setting would look like if I could travel back in time. I guess for now this is about as close to fantasy as you can get.

I have a large collection of autochromes. I'd love to find a way to capture that "look" cinematically. I'm sure there's a plugin filter floating around out there that you could apply in Photoshop or FCP.

Just watched "One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest." Great making of Documentary.

"North Fork" has a good doc too. (James Wood's classic comeback about his nextdoor neighbor's soft manhood is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.)

I don't know, but LOTR's triology is almost overkill for me. Too much of a good thing. You'd have to unemployed to get through everything.

"Eraserhead" has great extra's and top notch transfer. I love behind the scenes shorts that describe the technical aspects of of a dvd.

"Se7ven" is a great example of technical info. Making the transfer from the original neg is quite inspiring.

Most of Herzog's films from Anchor Bay are great. I don't know, but I think "Aguirre" should be anamorphic widescreen. Watching a deserved widescreen fim Full frame on my beloved 36" Sony HDTV tube TV sucks.

I love the "Shining" DVD, especially the making of Doc, but... see above.

I know i'm leaving some greats out. What classic films deserve a great DVD presentation? "2001." "Thin Red Line." <- old (by DVD standards) release. "Apocolypse Now" should have a steller DVD release... not the Redux. What the hell was he thinking?
