The Grinch (2000) feels like it should have been on Laserdisc. It realistically could have been, but by 2000 only a hand full of selected films were put on LD.

-Babylon 5 Complete Season 2, Season 3 and Season 4
-Lexx Season 2, 3, and 4
-ST: Deep Space 9 Season 6 and Season 7
-St: Voyager Season 6 and Season 7
-X-Files Season 8 and Season 9
-SG-1 Seasons(only the pilot is released)
-BSG Seasons 1978 and 1980

It sucks to switch to DVDs after watching these on LD for later seasons. Later X-files seasons on DVD are fine(also in LBX) but ST seasons and B5(especially CG scenes) seasons have poor video comparing to LDs.

-Alien 3 Director's Cut in AC-3 or DTS(I think this was an effort done much later done LD era)
-Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai(would be great in DTS)
-Amelie(Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain )
-Mulholland Dr.(Lynch)
-Stalker(Tarkovsky)

Is this not in Mad Max: Widescreen Collection [ML-9]? Admittedly it would have Japanese subtitles but they're apparently out of picture


I have that boxset now, and all I get is the American soundtrack that is featured on the ID2594OR release. I tried to swap between Digital Stereo, Digital -R, Digital -L, Analog Stereo, Analog -R and Analog -L. But they were all the same soundtrack with no difference, just the American soundtrack in mono

To make sure, I compared with the DVD-release that has the Australien soundtrack, and it confirmed the difference between them. Apperently, Japan choosed the dubbed version...

It was released on Laserdisc (I have it). Although it only reached the format in Japan so if you don't understand either Japanese or Russian it'll be a tough watch for sure.

Yes I heard about the japanese release but since its no english friends it didnt stick.

Hows the picture?
I watched the kino lorber dvd release a few years ago it was pretty good. Rusico dvd release is supposed to be godd too.

A movie like stalker on ld could only look great or absolute rubbish. It has color partialy but not too stong. I sold solaris us release ld because criterions bluray looks amazing and cant go back to ld anymore.

I haven't seen the entire film on Laserdisc but I remember it looked decent. The colors are kind of weak and sometimes feel a bit washed out. Damages are visible but not irritating. The level of noise on the other hand was quite low from what I remember but it did have a soft look.

Speaking of Tarkovsky and picture quality, I've seen all of Tarkovsky's films and even Solaris, Mirror and Offret on the big screen. When I saw Solaris, the print was in very bad shape and it even got stuck in the projector once. It looked like a DVD or worse, damages all over the screen and very little detail. Mirror had slightly faded colors in some scenes, but it looked WAY better than any of the DVD releases of the film. And I've seen Offret twice on the big screen, once on 35mm and once on DCP. The 35mm copy was from a restoration, made in 2002 or 2003 by SFI. Very fine detail and color balance (as well as a nice print), but the DCP was a step better in every way.

The black cauldron by Disney. They released almost every other title from that time period on LD so why not this one?

That actually didn't get released to video until 1999 if I'm not mistaken. By that time, Disney had all but abandoned LD save for a few titles in Japan and Hong Kong.

Also makes me wonder why they never released The Fox and the Hound to LD in the US. It was first released to VHS in like 1992 or 93 I believe, but not to LD at that time.

For whatever reason it was released to LD in Hong Kong (presumably in the early 90s as well) and Japan in 2000 (neither have the original English soundtrack):

1.) Spirited away
2.) Battle Royale: well I bet this would be a Japanese only release, but I thought it would be interesting to see such a release.
3.) Rest of X-files series: I think they should kept the format alive just to release the last seasons of this TV series.

That's all I can think of as of right now.

Have a nice day! :)

i saw your picture of your hardware
you have great stuff!

Caution!
stacking electronics using laser ontop amplifiers which generates massive heat will eventually kill the laser
how long did you have these stuff piled ontop of each other?
best thing is to change the setup ASAP!

I've had it stacked awhile now, so far so good. With the amount of copper under the DVL 90 I doubt much heat is penetrating from the AVR. I've thought about adding a divider between the two just haven't got it done.
