I was in the video store and seen this dvd and remembered reading a review on this forum so i gave it a try. DKP gave the review on 11 23 04 ,the dvd is Standing in shadows of motown. There is so much most people don't know about motown and the FUNK BROTHERS . Very good story and music and lot's of extras. Everyone should see this, give it a try you won't be sorry.

Thank you RickB! Another "Hight Fidelity" fan. Was starting to think I was the only person in the forum that has seen it. I can't imagine anyone seeing it and not liking it. Have you seen the directors cut version or watched the deleted scenes on the standard version? I love the part where John C takes the trip to the burbs to buy the killer vinyl collecting. I bet that scene would make GaryMD sick to his stomach.

Colin, nice job putting the list together. I will have to give your questions some thought and get back to you. Not to nit pick but I was thinking of Mark Wahlberg's Rock Star from 2001 in your #27 spot. Hardly holds a candle to the likes of Mr. H's O but it did amuse me.

That Thing You Do

Selena

Streets of Fire

Chick flicks, Michael? 2.gif

Dern impressive there Young Lady! So the question begs to be asked- what type of system does our lady moderator watch/listen when she curls up for a good movie?

Doesn't have to be real technical, just how big screen and which speakers. We could really care about watts/channel. We just talk about that stuff to make up for how we're lacking in other areas.

I have a 42" Plasma TV mounted above the fireplace, with 2 mid-size "home-made" front speakers from an engineer friend of mine here, along with 4 RSX speakers (a center on fireplace mantel, a rear center and 2 surrounds mounted upside down from ceiling) and an RSW 12 (plus a new Synergy Sub 12 beta unit for testing--temporary...)

Judy Garland did the original version, but I never saw it.

Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristopherson did a remake of it. I tried to watch it but it was too much of a chick flick for me.

Streets of Fire was pretty cool.
