KH Martin Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Ashamed to admit I've only seen 40 of these (though out of those, there are a dozen that I've seen at least ten times.) Still can't get over some of the oversights (Jordan Cronenweth, Gordon Willis quadruple-COUGH!!), looking at the list makes me realize it isn't just VFX that goes for commercial choices over better work in better films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted February 25, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 25, 2019 I've seen 100 out of the 120, and everything after 1965 ("Ship of Fools" was the last one on the list I've missed.). Of course, some I saw so long ago that I don't remember them too clearly. There's some I've missed that I've been really interested in seeing, like "The Picture of Dorian Gray" shot by Harry Stradling -- especially after hearing that Gerry Finnerman said it was his inspiration when he began shooting "Star Trek" (he had been Stradling's operator.) I have a DVD of "Sons and Lovers" but haven't watched it yet. Sometimes I just want to wait until I can see it projected someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH Martin Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Ship of Fools is a super-cheap blu-ray; it is in the same case with LILITH, and when I picked mine up at Fry's Electronics it was $2.99 a few years back. Not sure why it was that cheap, but I think it is that way everywhere, that Hamiltonbooks.com has it for a similar price now. Didn't know from LILITH but it was pretty okay, too, but we really like FOOLS quite a lot. BTW, the buyer at Hamilton is really courting the blu-ray.com crowd, and is buying a lot of Kino titles and the like. Some pretty darn good price points, enough so that I'm sorely tempted to upgrade a lot of stuff I swore I wouldn't re-buy (again, after laserdisc and dvd) on blu-, like POINT BLANK and Vincent Ward's NAVIGATOR and orig TAKING OF PELHAM.

Mark Dunn Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I was surprised to find I'd seen over half, and only one after 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon O'Brien Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I bought a Sony blu-ray player the other day and now after watching a few discs I'm really glad I did. I can see the film grain in the classic and contemporary movies I've been watching, it's as clear as that. In some ways I think the digital revolution has actually been an improvement for film. A lot of the movies on my screen, image wise, come out looking almost like the Kodachrome and Ektachrome 35mm slides my dad used to project when I was a kid. Very nice to look at.

Jon O'Brien Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Sony? Green? Is that the sound of lightsabres igniting? I will check it out. I've only got the DVD of that 2 perf classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH Martin Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Well for some reason the sky in THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY blu-ray is green. Go to blu-ray.com and you'll see fights and rants over the various transfers on this movie that make those FRENCH CONNECTION battles seem like kindergarten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I heard that Samsung and Oppo were discontinuing making blu-ray players, which is disturbing! Why? They are so cheap I thought they would retire regular dvd players and not blu-ray. Edited February 26, 2019 by Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I've seen maybe 70% of them. The last few movies on the list do not appeal to me, so am slacking on them. Just ordered Ship Of Fools from the library. No blu-ray, just regular dvd, but that is OK. I tried Days Of Heaven a few years ago. I had heard it had beautiful cinematography. But it seemed boring, so gave up on it after 10 - 15 minutes. I got ADD. Either a movie holds my attention or not. Edited February 26, 2019 by Daniel D.

I wonder what it is with both those films. They seem to attract cult following. Both 2 perf .... hmm is there a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH Martin Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I didn't know TFC was 2perf ... I've only seen it three times over 40+ years (was a big fan of Frankenheimer's sequel), but the last time I liked it a lot more, I do remember that. Imagine I'd pick up a blu- (not the Friedkin one, the latter one) if the price was right though, will have to keep an eye on Hamilton and my local pawnshop, which has all Blu-rays at a flat $2 (even whole seasons of tv.) Got Criterion BREATHLESS there last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Mulcahey Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Thanks for sharing this. I need to track a lot of these down. I've only seen 62 and have huge gaps in the 1930s and 1960s. I have watched all the winners since 1986 except Pan's Labyrinth and Life of Pi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted March 11, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 11, 2019 Just watched the 1937 "A Star Is Born" so that's one more off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
