:)

I thought you were thinking about architecture? One of our professors at UNCC once gave us an assigment that included three films relating architecture and film....

Rear Window - Alfred Hitchcock
Wings of Desire - Boring to me, but some great effects and cinematography
Strictly Ballroom - A parody of sorts about the Pan Pacific Grand Prix Finals in Australia, but worth a look. Humorous and intellegent. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Others that some I own and others I like and , but not for the above reasons:

Steel Magnolias
Torch Song Trilogies
Batman - the first one with Michael Keaton
Pacific Heights
Dangerous Liasons
Cookie's Fortune - I have a thing or two for Glenn Close.
War of the Roses
Fatal Attraction
Sunset Boulevard
Mommie Dearest

All Woody Allen, with the exception of "It's a Wonderful Life", which we watch every year around New Years. For me, there are few other movies with the same combination of aesthetic sensibility, realistic writing/dialogue, character development, and goofiness as Woody Allens'. In addition to completing my Woody collection, I would like to get Shawshank Redemption and Jacob's Ladder, though, and for action movies, Terminator 1 and 2 and Total Recall. It's hard to take any action movie actor seriously after watching Arnold in his prime.

Manhattan Murder Mystery
Annie Hall
The Front
Mighty Aphrodite
September
Husbands and Wives
Crimes and Misdemeanors
Broadway Danny Rose
Alice
Play it Again, Sam
Everybody Says I Love You
Hannah and Her Sisters
Manhattan

Now that we know what you have, what do you play them on?

I have a Sony 860 300 disc changer (also use it for my CD changer), playing through a Sony 845 receiver (with 2 Jensen towers up front, to Jensen bookshelves in back, a Sony Center Channel and JVC sub) and a 35" Sony Trinitron TV.

Now that we know what you have, what do you play them on?

A PS2. Laugh if you will, but it plays DVD's just as good as my parents $200 Panasonic, and (get this) it also plays video games! Can't beat that.

QueenCityHillbilly
02-11-02, 11:48 PM
I'm with you on that one, I play them on my PS2 as well, even have the remote that goes with it. I recently bought my first DVD. I was going to go with a new movie, but I saw Caddyshack for sale, and I couldn't say no. Quite possibly the best $22 I've ever spent as Wal-Mart.

The Brahma Bull
02-11-02, 11:53 PM
Did you get the sleek Sony remote for it?

BigMark
02-12-02, 12:09 AM
Hey, don't get me wrong. My old roommate has a PS2 that he plays DVD's on and it works great. To tell you the truth, I've messed around with a lot of those $80 players that were all over the place before Christmas and they're not bad. A few of them have reliability problems, but when they're humming, they still smoke VHS.

mramailman
02-12-02, 12:14 AM
PS2 user myself and for what you get it's pretty damn cool.
I play mine through an Aiwa stereo system with surround and a bass unit. The bass unit makes it sound worth a damn, before I had it it sounded ok but now...... not bad for $250 :)
