About The Cat and the Canary, having seen both the 1927 version and the 1939 Bob Hope version, I can say that the latter is a perfect bookend to its "sequel", The Ghost Breakers (1940), one of my all-time chiller-horror favourites, worth owning on DVD if only for the drop-dead gorgeous black and white photography and the amazing production values. (See my post on the SCARIEST movie thread, in Movie Talk, on this page http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...5&pagenumber=4 ).

(Note: I should perhaps explain that I am a seventy-year-old codger, who actually saw many of the earlier widescreen movies -- including El Cid & The Fall Of The Roman Empire (and, e.g., The Robe, and How To Marry A Millionaire, and Oklahoma!, and West Side Story, and It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, and My Fair Lady, and War And Peace, and 2001--A Space Odyssey, and Ryan's Daughter, and... -- when said movies were brand NEW and when (exception made of The Robe and HTMAM) 70mm copies were shown - as a matter of course - on HUGE screens in really BIG theaters - Cinerama, anyone? - in such cities as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris and London...)

I was sincerely expressing joy that when The Fall of the Roman Empire and El Cid do come to region 1 DVD, they will have directional sound. I can't wait. And maybe it will also be the case for Helen of Troy (1955, CinamaScope) when it comes out on April 27, 2004.

I also saw on TV a restored and colourized version of the original Wages of fear done under the supervision of the director's daughter from colour photographs of the filming and I liked that as well. True, there were mostly only seven basic colours: yellow-pink for the skin tones, white for the characters' clothes and teeth, grey for the dust of the road and on their clothes, yellow-brown for the rocks, blue for the sky, brown-black for the petroleum and red for the flames. I thought it worked in a kind of stylized comic-book fashion.

I may have missed it, but I didn't see anyone yet list:
Samson and Delilah (1949)
The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962)
And like a few other people, I want King Kong (1933)
