I only have a Sony TV, so maybe the HDTV crowd will disagree- but there is a huge qualitative difference between the resolution of movie film and any video source I've ever seen. This is not at all subtle or arguable. There are a multitude of visual details on a movie screen that are gone on the video screen. I consider video to be an impoverished experience compared to film, one where most of the information is gone.
