In Reply to: Let's talk LASERDISCS... my Top 10 List (not on DVD!) posted by yo mama on January 4, 2005 at 09:27:02:
...of NYA (not yet available) titles of interest. Note: Some of these are on LD (in one form or another; some not)Greed (Von Stroheim dir.; TCM/Brownlow branched restoration) NYA
Napoleon (Gance dir.; Brownlow restor.; NOT Coppola/Zoetrope edit) NYA
King Kong (orig. & remastered) NYA
Shanghei Express (Von Sternburg dir.) NYA
Flesh and the Devil (Clarence Brown dir. Gilbert/Garbo) NYA
Free Live/Tribute to Paul Kossoff (only released as Jap. imp. LD) NYA
Jimi Hendrix/Atlanta Pop Festival (only released as Jap. imp. LD) NYA
Harold Lloyd silents (ALL restored; never released on LD) NYA
Traffic Live in Santa Monica (only released on LD) NYA
Val Lewton Collection (only released on LD) NYAI'm also inclined to second your comments on The Shadow & Pink Floyd/Pulse and to a lesser degree on the Star Wars Trilogy (I think that The Empire Strikes Back is fine, but I still have problems with the DVD releases of Return of the Jedi and to a lesser degree Star Wars AKA "A New Hope"). BTW, the current DVD issue of War of the Worlds ('53) is one I eventually intend to purchase, however, I'm not convinced as to how enhancing the original mono film track for stereo will heighten or improve the experience of the original release.
