    Not any more I still have 2 players & around 60 discs ( I know there is a commentary on the lazer that is not on the DVD or Blu-Ray for the 1933 King Kong.) Now with DVD & BLU-RAY I don't see the need to trade out the disc after 2 hours (That is if you don't have to get up & turn it over after the 1st hour) & I can now watch Dial M for Murder in 3D in my own home.

    I've got an HD projector. An actual TV that large would be insanely expensive probably

    That's cool. I'm mainly collecting them because I love the artwork. They're like mini posters. The actual laser disc players are a tad more difficult to find. I haven't see any yet, but I've been coming across the discs on a regular basis lately.

    I've seen Rebecca maybe 8 or 9 times and only just realized that we never learn Joan Fontaine's character's first name. I looked it up and apparently the book is the same way.

    Yep, she's only referred to as Mrs. de Winter

    I'd definitely recommend the book if you haven't read it yet.

    I've been meaning to read it and her other works for years. Maybe 2016 will be the year!

    Universal Cable Productions is developing an anthology series based on Alfred Hitchcock, Variety has learned.

    The NBCUniversal-owned production company has inked a deal with the Alfred Hitchcock Estate to re-imagine classic tales from the iconic horror filmmaker for the TV project that is titled “Welcome to Hitchcock.”

    “Welcome to Hitchcock” will follow Hitchcock’s unique brand of storytelling that resulted in films such as “The Birds,” “Psycho” and the series “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.”

    In the spirit of the classic Hitchcock style and legacy, the anthology will focus on a single season-long mystery or crime. Plans are in place for all potential future seasons to be produced in step with Hitchcock Estate.

    “Long after his death, Alfred Hitchcock continues to be one of the most celebrated directors and visionaries in the world, a master manipulator of the macabre,” said Dawn Olmstead, executive vice president of development at Universal Cable Productions. “We’re honored that the Hitchcock Estate has put its trust in our studio to pay homage to his work.”

    “Our grandfather always collaborated with the best and the brightest to help shape his vision. We’re confident that Universal Cable Productions will take great care in helping us to continue preserving his legacy,” said Katie O’Connell-Fiala on behalf of the Hitchcock Trust and MTK Corporation, which was founded by O’Connell-Fiala and her sisters, Mary O’Connell-Stone and Tere O’Connell-Carrubba.

    Vermilion Entertainment and 1492 Pictures/Ocean Blue Entertainment will produce “Welcome to Hitchcock” with UCP. The anthology marks Vermilion’s first scripted television project. Exec producers are Chris Columbus, Michael Barnathan, Timmy Thompson and Todd Thompson, who will all work alongside the Hitchcock family. Columbus will also direct the pilot. Casey Tebo will serve as co-producer.

    Vertigo in HD is an amazing movie even by today's standards. If it had never been made until modern day, I think it would blow the socks off most folks.

    I love Rope.

    As for the TV show. I'm cautiously optimistic.

    I don't think Rebecca gets enough to love. It's hands down my favorite Hitchcock film.

    I'm actually very excited for this new series. Could be something special.

    I was thinking about reading the book, but the descriptions make it seem romance-y. Plus, a lot of the reviews I've read have compared it to The Haunting of Hill House and I had a hard time getting through that one.

    It's excellent Ricky, I highly recommend it. And it's not super romancy, at least no more than the movie. The film follows the story pretty well except for the ending.

    I might go with the movie first, then read the book if I like it (like I did with The Bad Seed, though I liked The Bad Seed movie much more than the book).

    Wait you haven't even seen the movie?! Drop everything and go watch it right away. You won't be disappointed.

    Haha. No, I haven't. I think it's in my Netflix queue though.

    EDIT: Oops, looks like it wasn't. Added now!
