I don't watch much movies on TV, but I think the last one was Bad
Company

X-Men 3 and the Da Vinci Code, which premiered here in sweden this
last week.

Uhm... I rented Flightplan not long ago. It wasn't very good,

With my own home cinema with a 200" screen, I have no real need unless
there is some movie I really can't wait to see .

Ah, err....don't remember.

That was ages ago, too.

OK, that's easy. :) "The Bat" starring Vincent Price. I just
picked up the 50 Horror Classics, 50 Chillers and 20 Monster Movie
MegaPacks, so....I'm cool. :) There's really some old gems on those
things, and some nicely cheesy cheese - so far I've enjoyed "Last Man
on Earth" (Price again), "House on Haunted Hill", "The Giant Gila
Monster", "Killer Shrews", "Giant Leeches", "The Brain That Wouldn't
Die", "Phantom from 10,000 Leagues", "Horror Express" (Chris Lee AND
Peter Cushing, woohoo!), "Virus", "Panic", "The Alpha Incident", "Track
of the Moon Beast" (hilarious schlock).

Most of those actually have good-excellent transfers, at least on
ordinary television. More of the color films suffer from poor
transfers, from what I've seen so far. "Bat", "Haunted Hill" and
"Killer Shrews" stand out as very crisp and clean. There's been one
(something about Nazi zombies guarding Hitler gold) that was just too
awful to watch...pixelated like a webcast or something. But, at $40 for
120 movies, I'm not complaining.
