Talking of 3D viewing and on another thread we watched The Wizard of Oz with quite a nice 3D adaption, not for all I know but it was good. The scenes of the poppy fields worked very well in the depth department.
Would be nice to know how many other 3D Imax adaptions make it onto Blu-Ray.

The Elmo ESM-1 3D mirror outfit was another rarity which gave excellent polarised 3D although the picture projected taller than usual. We had a guy in our club way back who used to go round demonstrating it and showing his 3D colour movies, fun times. I think it was the Bolex kit my father used with 9-5 in the 1950's.

Yup, The Elmo ESM-1 (Elmo Stereo Movie) Unit is a polarised beam splitter for mounting on your cinema camera for filming and then mounting on your favourite Elmo projector for 3D projection... Of course you'll also need a nice silver screen!
Sponson made an Anaglyph 3D unit too that I always wanted to explore and maybe modify for polarised 3D but by the time I was ready to make the initial purchase I became interested in SD video Field Sequential 3D capture and projection. An interest fuelled by a huge curiosity in the VHD video disc format that made 3D Hollywood features available in the Field Sequential format, of which I now have may discs and 2 players sourced from Japan!
Golden days of discovery... and I've now VHD discs in my collection of both Jaws 3D and Friday 13th Part 3D, titles that to this day are still unavailable on the BR3D format!
