speaking of which, the very first DVD I ever bought back in 1997 or so was "Das Boot", one of the old discs you had to flip in the middle of the movie, which as you may have guessed as seen a lot of play over the years. I rewatched it over the weekend and now see that the image is getting coorupted in parts, i.e. red lines flashing across the screen, still 16 years is a good run
