Watching this in surround sound for the first time ever, haven't seen it since I was a kid. Sounds pretty good on TCM HD.:D This is the first time my fiance has ever seen it.:eek:
I love animals, they're delicious!

    You know what else holds up over time?
    The Music & Movies forum! It never gets old!

    Putting my serious-face on for a moment, I have to agree. The sound quality alone is proof of what can be done to bring older movies back into the spotlight.

    I was watching that last night too on TCM! Good movie and classic SciFi that everyone needs to see.

    I'm only 23, but I remember this movie. Didn't really get to into as a kid, but maybe worth looking back at...

    A box set is to be had for this flick. Contains theatrical release, director's cut and reviewer's cut. Each is different, mostly with deleted/kept scenes being the difference. Each is very good. Plus, contained within the box set is a fold out pamplet that has a time line in the move that compares how each is different.

    This is a worthy buy for anyone who is a true fan of the movie.

    ET? Does that stand for something? And a war between stars?

    Those don't sound very interesting to me.

    :p

    Sort of.

    But it explains a lot. If you'd said you were 45, I'd have wondered what cave you'd been living in for the past 30 years~
