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?

The Abyss
