'High Society' was shown on HDNet Movies awhile back and while the print still had the reel change indicators in a couple of spots, the transfer looked utterly fantastic!

as for films where select special effect shots were filmed in 65mm - I can think of two that utilized the higher resolution: 'Blade Runner' and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and I think, but don't quote me: 'Little Buddha'

visually stunning to the hilt - Ridley Scott's 'Legend' certainly fits the bill - where's that bluray release, I thought there was word that a bluray edition was imminent?

I know it was mentioned previously in the "Films using VistaVision for special effects process work only" list but I think it deserves it's own post:

The Abyss
