Hooray. I got a DVD player for christmas.
Now I'm just a box-set away from realising my dream of watching A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly back to back to back, while wearing a poncho and hat and drinking tequila, cursing in Spanish.

What other films require dressing up to get maximum enjoyment out of?

Shit. I've only got ten or so years to get my act together!

please tell me how HD is going to look better
than the original grainy film?

*ooh look, i can see the grain clearer!*

I like the lower definition
Only cartoon/computer animation stuff looks good on HD, IMO.

I am not interested in seeing the makeup errors on actors' faces.
(I helped save b3ta! Dave Trouser ; the people's choice - 75% agree, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:37, archived)
any new films will be superb on HD,
older stuff transferred to HD will not be any better.
(I helped save b3ta! sex and dougs and rock n roll, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:38, archived)
Not really true.
A 35mm print in a cinema has much higher definition than a standard DVD and standard TV. So a good transfer of that to HD would be better than current DVD versions.

I'm not fussed really.
I suspect I'd love it once I had it. But I'm not going out of may way for it, as I know it'll all be £1000 cheaper later on.

I do want a nice big TV though. 32" is not big enough.
(I helped save b3ta! Dave Trouser ; the people's choice - 75% agree, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:41, archived)
Clearly
you think that HD is superior to 35mm.

You're wrong, completely wrong.

This is what people said about DVD players.
To those people I say HA, because they are paying mostly between £5-15 for a DVD, while I pay about a quid for a video. Granted not much gets released on video now, but for everything that was ever released before is, & that's a lot of watching.
(I helped save b3ta! ImNotRightBotheredMe fool, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:37, archived)
Poppycock.
DVDs are good enough quality for most people, and it'll be 20 years before high-res displays are the norm for TVs. People who get a hard-on over "home cinema" will probably go out and buy a Blu-ray player and a HD-DVD player and everything they already have on VHS and DVD again to watch on their 359" plasma LCD TVs, but everyone else couldn't give a shit.

How is this the case?
Did anybodies collection of vinyl albums become obselete once CD was the popular format? I can still watch videos I recorded more than fifteen years ago - the technology only becomes obselete for me once I stop using it.

My Dad used to dress up to watch Elvis films
until my Mum threw out his flared white suit without asking or telling him.

It's also impossible to be unhappy in a poncho.

You are intitled to your opinon, as am I.
However, my opinon is that your opinon is crap.

That may be so
but my opinion is correct, by virtue of the fact that I said it.
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:36, archived)
Your opinon on what the best films are, differs from mine, and therefore, is wrong.... in my opinon.
Because if I belived your opinon was more correct than mine, on what the best films were, then my opinon would be changed.
