really poor images. Several salesmen have told me that DVD is BETTER than the movies. I used to tell them they were blind. Now I have matured and tell them that my Dad said the same thing until he had his catracts removed and maybe they should go in and have theirs done as well. ;-)The reality is that TV is still not at the same level as a good 35 or 70 mm film.
Follow Ups:
Sometimes DVDs are better than the movies you can actually have a chance to see if the've been restored (digits don't fade and get scrtached) or had the sound remastered (original tracks were sometimes 2 or 3 channel but never reached the theaters): Citizen Kane, Singin' in the Rain, The Third Man ...
While it is true DVDs don't fail in the same way that film does, have you ever been able to play a badly scratched DVD? Film is not perfect and certainly not enough effort is made to protect the old films that are now starting to fall apart. But DVDs are not perfect either and they lack the resolution of good film print.
