I tried a couple others. Is this movie just not well lit? Which LD version as there were a few releases. I have 5 of these: LV 33118-2WS I tried 3, they all looked about the same. Not a title that has a rot issue reported, so probably just the way it is. Never saw it outside the theater on any other media so nothing to compare to.

Finally got my eyes on City Hunter : Shinjuku Private Eyes. I was lucky enough to have a theater (the only one) in my town showing it in original version with subs (only one screening on Thursday) so I jumped on the occasion, and boy, was it worth the wait ! Let's be honest, the movie is quite far from perfect but it was a real pleasure all along, the sound and picture were great, at every music or character appearance, we were all cheering like fanboys, it probably was the best time I ever had in a theater. So if you have the occasion (and like City Hunter, but seriously, who doesn't ?) go see it !

Producers, original version. Looney Tunes DVD Collection. The Prisoner..... love that series. There are a few episodes that really stretched things but overall a great series & the back stories on the series in general & some episodes is as interesting as the series, worth checking if you enjoy it & have the time. Enjoy . Cheers

It is well made and I love Brad Pitt and some of Fincher's flicks but I am simply not loving Fightclub.

Not a fan of fightclub either, I hate Norton, he's a little b**chy looking dude, Pitt's shirts are one of the worst fashion trends of the 90s too. I didn't get the story. All my friends had a hard on for the movie in the day. confederate wrote: I do not know whether it is actually allowed to post this here but I watched Blade Runner in 4K ( 4K UHD Disc release ) on my new Benq 4K projector last night and the quality was just breathtaking. Despite the fact that I have probably seen this film at least a dozen times in my life, this time it was far more enjoyable than the previous times. The new 4K release is absolutely superb. I have never seen this film with such clarity. What I really loved was how I was able to read all the writing in the background that appeared blurry on the Blu Ray release before. Every object on the screen was sharp. Even the logo at the beginning of the film and the text before the film starts are super sharp. You have the feeling you can look into the windows of the Tyrell Corporation building. It is unbelievable. I have to say that I was sceptical about this entire 4K thing reading that the only new advantage was HDR accompanying these 4K releases and that people couldn't "see 4K". Well, maybe not on a 50 inch TV sitting 2-3 metres away from it but on a big projected screen the difference is like day and night. I do not need 4K for most films but for some masterpieces such as 2001 or Blade Runner it is a must in my view. This was one fine experience last night. I prefer the LASERdisc. It's so pure, it hurts.
