"I can hardly believe were somehow caught on the 1939 original film"

Posted by tunenut on September 29, 2009 at 13:01:32:
I can barely remember how this looked when it first came out in 1939.

OK, I wasn't born then, but I did see this in a movie theater a few years ago. I've seen many old movies in movie theaters, although now that home video has killed most of the art houses, I rarely get that opportunity.

I still think film is better than digital. And I like blu-ray a lot. There are theoretical arguments that 35 mm film has higher resolution than the current blu-ray format. Well, blu-ray comes a lot closer than DVD ever did. And you can't beat seeing movies when you want at home.

But I still don't quite see as much as I do on a big screen in a theater.

A very important BR release to me was The Seventh Seal. I've seen this at least once in a theater and several times on DVD. (The Criterion DVD has an excellent commentary track as well.) It greatly benefits from its new high resolution release. I'm sure I'll never play the DVD again.
