In Reply to: Some movies (Ben-Hur comes to mind) were almost 3:1 posted by Auricle on October 17, 2002 at 13:10:00:
Around the World in Eghty Days? How the West Was Won? Seeing them now, they're almost too hard to watch, for me anyway. Ben Hur blew my mind when I was seven years old. Ah, the days of road show movies.I've been lucky enough to see Lawrence of Arabia a few times in 70mm - gorgeous!
Follow Ups:
Yes, I remember Cinerama. They used 3 cameras /projectors to film /project the image. It was quite an experience, especially for its time (early 60's). I saw 'The wonderful world of the brothers Grimm', 'How the west was won', '7 wonders of the world', 'Its a Mad,Mad,Mad World' and my favorite 'Grand Prix' in Cinerama. The extremely wide screen gave you peripheral vision, and was the first film to give you the feeling (at least visually) of being there. IMax does a similar thing today, although they use a single camera and projector.
...there is a theater there that has a Cinerama set-up and shows the films in original format. The guy had a tough time locating 3 projectors - parts aren't easy to come by either.
