Movies

Well, you could do worse. :) But if you told me I could choose between a 3-D film and a film with forward tracking shots...

... I would choose the tracking shots every time.

And the IMAX film I saw as a kid, "North of Superior" at the Cinesphere in Toronto.  That was what I imagine 3-D proponents are seeking.

Looks like a slow news day, I had an idea for a poll. Name a movie that you think would have had a positive benefit from 3D? damenchipguy Dec 03, 09:21

Minority Report, I watched last night and not post conversion if it had shelved the idea and technology catch up would have been even better {nm} damenchipguy Dec 03, 09:24

"Vertigo," "Spellbound." Just kidding. {nm} second gary Dec 03, 09:28

"My dinner with Andre." Also just kidding. second gary Dec 03, 09:28

Sound like a KWIIG routine, just kidding, a KWIIG sketch, just kidding, a KWIIG painting, just kidding. {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Dec 03, 10:35

None. Am entirely opposed to 3D. Does nothing for me that my mind doesn't do for 2D movies {nm} numbersix_99 Dec 03, 09:40

The more 3d I see, the less I like it. Miss the old style of stuff comin at you. But, I would go for house of the dead {nm} islander Dec 03, 09:50

I totally agree, I do not care for the format either. As a huge Matrix fan I can see where the sequels could have been more enjoyable. {nm} damenchipguy Dec 03, 11:32

Visual effects weren't the problem. Story was the problem; so if 3-D conversion can re=plot the sequels, go for it. {nm} second gary Dec 03, 14:19

It worked for Avatar and Pirana2... but otherwise. Dumb enhancement. Maybe Inception and Suckerpunch would have benefited ? JMT-NL Dec 03, 10:03

wait... I got a serious one. The ABYSS... That would have been awesome {nm} JMT-NL Dec 03, 11:33

Yes {nm} damenchipguy Dec 03, 11:52

Matrix, Wanted, Watchmen, Speed Racer and Twister. {nm} delfinasu Dec 03, 10:21

Just a fun fact parts of Twister were filmed about 15 min. from where I grew up. {nm} damenchipguy Dec 03, 11:53

The first one that came to mind is The Eiger Sanction, if done right. I think the scope of the mountain and immensity of climbing it might Ruthian23 Dec 03, 10:38

The Blair Witch Project - cause it would have made me vomit and leave the theater even faster. {nm} DTravel Dec 03, 11:06

The Shining (nm) Beer Wench Dec 03, 11:10

Matrix and Lord of the Rings... {nm} b4bad Dec 03, 11:14

"This is Cinerama" on the roller coaster. {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Dec 03, 11:17

Some others that jump to mind from when I was a kid; Ghostbusters or Howard the Duck. {nm} damenchipguy Dec 03, 11:54

It's a guilty pleasure, but I would have loved it in Vertical Limit. {nm} Jelly Dec 03, 12:20

Roxeanne with Steve Martin! {nm} RazorHawk Dec 03, 12:50

:) {nm} damenchipguy Dec 04, 08:32

The Shining, Elephant, Casino. {nm} tawdryhepburn Dec 03, 13:36

Saving Private Ryan. {nm} Paul2k Dec 03, 13:40

Only one (Animal House), and probably only 1 scene ("See if you can guess what I am now?") Otherwise, 3D reminds me of Shake-a-Puddin' {nm} DTXbro Dec 03, 17:04

Don't care a lick about 3D. Figure out a way to make 3D work without the stupid glasses and we can talk. {nm} Broiler Dec 03, 20:08

I totally agree, but Avatar was awesome. The Nintendo 3Ds is 3D without glasses so maybe we are close to finding a way? damenchipguy Dec 04, 08:37

2001: A Space Odyssey; Koyaanisqatsi; Dark City; Triumph of the Will {nm} icanc4 Dec 03, 20:15
