You might as well upgrade to blu ray for the extra three or four dollars per disc you get a substantial improvement in video and sound quality.My laptop has a Bluray drive (it came as a free upgrade) I was stunned how much better the quality is with Bluray even on a non HD LCD.Of course on an HD TV or an HD monitor it just blows your mind.
Of course for me Bluray is not very expensive because my movie library is fairly small.I only own movies that I really like.Of course I will only watch a film I really like once every few years.
"Apocalypse Now" is probably my favorite movie and I only viewed it about 5 times in my life time.Another favorite "Seven Samurai" I have viewed even less. I am actually glad that this thread appeared because it made me realize that I have not watched "Apocalypse Now" in some time and that I do not own a bluray copy so I went an ordered a copy from Amazon.I look forward to getting that package because this one is displayed in the original theater ratio.I did get to see Redux when it came out in 2000 in a German Kino which was nice because they serve beer in German movie theaters.I can say without doubt that it was the best film I have ever seen in a proper movie theater and most likely will never be topped.
They just don't make films like that anymore.
