Re: Let's talk LASERDISCS... my Top 10 List (not on DVD!)

I have three LD players and 900 laserdiscs. As you point out, many lD titles have not yet been issued on DVD and some won't ever be. Although I have traded in most of my classic films on LD for their DVD counterparts I still watch "King Kong" (Image LD better than Criterion) and "Greed" on LD because neither has been issued on DVD.
And I have many conerts on LD like "Miles in Montreal", John Scofield Live Three Ways", Michel Petrucianni Power of Three", etc.


I agree with your comments on LD analog sound. And now that we have Dolby Pro Logic II (or DTS Neo 6 if you prefer)they have a whole new life. As you know, most later LD players play two sides. And I have always felt that CD sound from LD players, particularly those that disconnect the video,is equal to any high end stand alone CD player. And finally, I have A/B'd a few Dolby Digital 5.1 LD soundtracks with their DVD counterparts and the LD is always superior. Toward the end there were even a few anamorphic LD's.
