Added a couple of excellent movies to the DvD collection

[Tumor]

what?... nothing with a rating that begins and ends with X?

The more I watch BlackHawk Down, the more I appreciate movies like this over others like "Behind Enemy Lines". Black Hawk is sensational through the surround sound system ,ahhhh if only it had a DTS soundtrack.

BlackHawk Down will definately be added to the collection... though I don't know that one can truly "enjoy" watching it.  One thing is for sure... it will put the sound system to the test.

By far and away, this is one of the most realistic (seemingly) combat movies I've ever seen.  Probably a bit more realistic than most care to see.

My Saving Ryan DTS does about the same thing to the senses, attraction and repulsion

I gotta say, I was a little let down with Dark Blue World... there were only what, four, maybe five flying scenes?  That kid got shot up/down in all of them...  An interesting picture, and I enjoyed it, I was just expecting more.

Guess I'll have to spring for the Piece of Cake DVDs.

My DVD collection just past 160. what system you guys watching them on and sound?

I got the 5:1 digital ( fiber optics)  JBL's and Tower kenwoods.
Hitachi wide screen HDTV.

I have some older Sansui speakers 20 years old, they still kick bellybutton but i'm afraid the stress will pop them.

I'm not sure what makes a movie better, the picture quality or the sound quality, sofar I would lean to the sound.

all i know, when I play Saving Private Ryan, theres chips on the wall after the movie is over:)

38" RCA widescreen HDTV here... with a Sony DvD, Tuner and Speaker setup.  Its decent.

BTW... Portland is a "beta" test sight for HDTV.  All of our local channels have to broadcast an HDTV signal.

Man would HDTV be nice for the NFL season ticket this year. You suck. Course the Hilton is tough to beat for sports, but the cabs get pricey. Games still must look awesome on that.

Btw, forgot a classic you must own.

Glen Gary Glen Ross.

Saw it again last night.  Al Pacino ripping Kevin Spacey makes the best flames here seem like pillow talk and ear nibbling.

One of the strongest casts and performances ever.

Yeppers... I can't wait.  The downside would be if they didn't do any kind of widescreen format and I had to sacrifice cutting the top/bottom off to get a bigger picture.

This falls into my "movies about lawyers and realtors" category.  Basically, I'd rather have a root canal.  The only redeaming "about a lawyer" movie I can think of is where Harrison Ford plays a lawyer that gets shot in the head.  Realtors fall into the same loathing category for me.

Some of you guys may want to look into NetFlix .

I use to buy all my DVD's because I HATED bringing movies back to the video store. I then discovered Netflix mail DVD rentals. You can have three rented movies in your possesion at one time for $19.95/month. You can pay more/less for more/less movies you are allowed to have at one time. The way it works is you select movies and put them in your Queue. (They have one of the largest selections available) As you return a movie they will send you the next one on the list. Best of all you can keep the DVD as long as you want. NO stinkin' late fees. They mail you the DVD in a little packet. To return the movie just put it back in packet, seal it and drop it in the mailbox. Postage is pre-paid. I burn through about 10 movies a month so it's a heck of a lot cheaper then buying or renting them. Also being in CA the turn-around time on sending back and receiving a new DVD is only two days. I think they still have a free months trial so I highly recommend giving them a try.

Oh, and for a funny/quirky movie check out Bubble Boy.

I really don't know JB.  I turned it off when I found out he survived the shot to the head.

And I heard Annet Benning is going to play Hillary Clinton in a "Clintons" movie.  Seems like they cast it well... SOB is playing Monica Lewinski (after he gets a breast reduction).

Replace your crap like Corky Romano and Zoolander with some good pr0n moves, and use them to help ameliorate the deteriorating pr0n quality on WinMX.
