'The house of flying daggers' - quite possibly the most visually stunning and achingly beautiful film to watch ever.
Is there an English-dubbed soundtrack on this? I physically can't read subtitles usually, so was glad I was able to hear "Crouching tiger..." on the DVD issue
I had a quick look at what is available on amazon.co.uk and it looks as though only mandarin with english subtitles is available but maybe you could hire it from a video shop and check it out without going to the expense of buying it?

Mostly I has been watching the history of Fyn. Short black and white cine films from about 1900 up to 1960s about the middle bit of Denmark. Fascinating! Warning: No surround sound or LFE!

Van Helsing. Should get the award for most horror stories in 1 film. Ok but intantly forgetable even with Kate Beckinsale.

I am glad my name is RONEN and not ENRON. What a bunch of arrogant thieves.

Thirty two short stories about Glenn Gould - A must for fans.

"The Business". A story of a sarf Landon geezer who takes a shot at the big time by fleeing to the Costa Del Crime to import drugs with a bunch of wide-boy kants, circa 1986/7. Top 80's soundtrack, tasty shag interest, bit 'o gore, loads a facking swearing and some tasty metal. Not to mention a lot of tasteless ST/Fila tracksuits.

One of the big fish drives an mid 80's silver 928 S2. Problem is though that said prime bit of Porker is wearing a set of Cup 2 rims that only became available from 1994 on the later GTS model. Tut tut.

"Hostage" A very dark and actually very good Bruce Willis film.

I've just watched 'A Bittersweet Life'.
Another fine gangster film from Korea with a cracking DTS soundtrack to test your system with.

Dear Friends,
I collected the Battle Of Britain on UK Special Edition today, apparently not the version available in the US. Both for the film, which I saw on first release in the late sixties, but not since, and Walton's Score which is to be be found on it UK version. 20 minutes of music otherwise lost and unavailable music by one of our greatest composers in the twentieth century is certainly not to be missed, and worth the £8.99!
Also I fixed a viewing for '32 Short Stories About Glenn Gould' for next weelend, though whether VHS counts as DVD I am not sure! Thanks to Erik Scothron for the vid! Fredrik

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp:
Somehow I had never seen this film. What a really good, and moving, movie this is.

Colonel Blimp. Never seen, but a must view I suspect. Fredrik

Hi Martin,
Could not agree more. Have you seen that other great Powell & Pressbuger classic 'A matter of Life and Death'? You have a rare treat in store if you have not yet seen it.
Regards,
Erik

Fredrik,
I'm interested to know what you think of the extra walton. I thought the whole special edition was an absolute triumph.

Erik

Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were Rabbit.
Bloody brilliant.

the recent Pride and Prejudice by Keira Knightly.
Good movie and Keira performance is quite admirable.

I was tempted into buying this......is it worth it...??
I'm a Floyd fan but don't know much about Dave's solo stuff....
Agreed Frank - Wallace and Gromit was great (as usual), Oscar well deserved.
Cheers,

To be honest most of the DVD is mostly Floyd stuff. The majority is amplified acoustic guitar.I have 2 solo albums which are OK+. Sounds like the soloist with Pink Floyd playing other stuff not surprisingly.

The Corpse Bride - very good indeed. Remarkable picture, very well put together and a lot of fun.
