In Reply to: Rico, I share your opinion that Forbidden Planet is an excellent film, but... posted by Audiophilander on January 23, 2004 at 08:55:53:
With the exception of Starship Troopers (never seen it, put off by the trailer) I have and enjoy all of the other films you mention, especially "The Day the Earth Stood Still" which my father took me to when I was nine. But "2001..." remains for me at the pinnacle and along with Citizen Kane and Apocalypse Now Redux is one of my three most watched and most loved movies. The quality of the current DVDs of each allows one to really suspend disbelief and enjoy them more.You didn't mention "Destination Moon" or "Rocketship XM"
By the way, the relatively new DVD of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is a STUNNING transfer and even those horribly fake "dinasours" toward the end are somehow not as bad.
Will you be buying the nine DVD "Alien" box set?
