Although mainly a reel film forum, I though we needed a tread for DVD/Blu-Ray. We have 8mm & 16mm.

Saturday night we watched "Where Eagles Dare" on Blu-Ray. I have the DVD, but got the Blu-Ray disc cheap along with "Kelly's Heroes" double set.

The content is the same as the DVD. I did notice an improvement in picture detail over the DVD, the audio just played through TV was just the same.

Now this is one of my all time favourite films. I have the MGM 3x400ft Laserdisc and 16mm complete, sadly flat.

This is one of the films in my opinion where everything fits together, the cast, action, and of course Ron Goodwin's score.

The next viewing must be my 16mm version though.

On Christmas Evening we had 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon' followed by 'The Invisible Man' finally we had to 'Dial M For Murder'.

My son corrected me when I said "shall we watch a film" his words "There not films no screen"

With Henry only 7 he does ask quite a few questions about the films, and he does enjoy watching them.

The wife watched the two Universal ones, but went to bed after about fifteen minutes of 'Dial M' her words too much talking.

Last night we watched The Ten Commandments (23) a film I'd been wanting to see for a long time. A great piece of work.
Yesterday afternoon was Safe in Hell (31) starring the beautiful Dorothy Mackaill.

Hope to go to mum's Saturday for film, only 2 doors away. Sadly we struggle with films at home. One for my dad 'Dorsey's' film I bought last week. The description was seems like the feature with no plot just music.

Like Lee I want to show the kids 'A Walt Disney Christmas' plus some Tom & Jerry cartoons.

Last night's film was the new restoration of The Big Parade (25). Beautiful.
The last hour of this film is still, to me, the most dramatic piece of work I've ever watched. It was Gilbert's finest hour.

On Saturday the girls went out to a friends house, so just me & Henry first up was a 1926 one 'The General' followed by another train film 'Oh Mr Porter' from 1937 and we enjoyed them both. Henry was laughing at both of them.

Now that's not bad for two old black & white films.

The General had a soundtrack, but I was 50/50 over the music.

We watched a fairly new film with Sean Bean (love the actor) called "Black Death", a gothic style horror film (though taking place in 1348).

Very old school horror film. Rated R for vicious killing on screen, but literally no cussing and nu nudity. I was quite pleased, as they could have made this very naughty if they wished.

Great screen shots Graham. I have to pick up the ' Zulu Blu Ray.
We watched The Mirror Cracke'd the film version of the Agatha Christie novel starring a host of Hollywood legends including Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Rock Hudson, Angela Lansbury and Tony Curtis. Not a great movie by any means, but definately a fun film for fans of these great stars.

I watched "Diamonds Are Forever" which shone on blu ray. It was supported by a super 8 trailer for "Octopussy".

It was a bit of an Albert Finney weekend. Saturday night was "Erin Brokowitz" and Sunday night was "Before the Devil Knows you're Dead", both on blu ray. In both cases, great performances, direction and script make an excellent movie. It's a simple formula.

Trevor, Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.

After our super 8 films I watched 'The Body Snatchers' aka 'Thin Air' It features some well known faces George Sanders, Maurice Evans, Patrick Allen and Neil Connery.

A typical 'B' of the time its still fun to watch.

For some reason a brief scene with Maurice Evans appears to be faded verging on red, but after the cut the same bit is back to normal.

A little bit of trivia the spaceship at the end looks like the
Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. one.

David, it's the first time I see someone using "I shall" (but maybe you're using it as a joke). When I learned English at school (in the eighties), the teacher said the correct conjugation for "to be" was I shall, you will, he/she will and so on. "I will" was supposed to be used for insisting on the fact that the person who was talking was really willing to do what he or she annouces. But I realised quickly that all the Anglo-saxons always use "I will". The opposite rule, if I remember well, was to use "shall" instead of "will" for the other persons of the conjugation but, it seems that it is only used in "fixed" sentences like "Shall we dance ?"

David has taken that straight from allo allo [Big Grin] British humor.

Funny thing though about the English language, the other day one of the drivers who comes from Hong Kong received a text from our boss and was confused about the term "swings and roundabouts" that was in it. He came to me the other day with another text about his run that included the words "stalemate". It was fun trying to explain things to him, but am sure there have been many other time he has been [Confused] I don't think our boss understands how hard it is for folk from other countries to figure out [Big Grin]
