Nosferatu is old. The Never Ending Story is like a zit at the tip of Old's nose.

LLC, that reminds me of all those girls I used to know in high school, who's range of "old movies" were in the late 1970s. Before that time? "Ancient."
And people wonder why I have a special soft spot of despisement for GREASE.... Yeah... To me, "old" is anything prior to 1960. I don't think I've ever refered to a film as "ancient" but if I did, I'd at least set the bar at 1920. Kids these days.

Shut up and get off my lawn. I need to go shave, pay the bills, feed the kids, wash my car...
I'm 16. 17 in about two months.

And they probably plan on releasing a superior transfer with more features in 6-12 months for ten bucks more than the original release...

I don't know, Warner Bros. is good about releasing both versions at the same time (hence the separate single and double disc versions). Now if this were Fox, then absolutely. That's why I'm not buying Borat when it first comes out because I guarantee a double dip. DEATH TO FOX! Universal is bad too (2-disc "special edition" 40-Year-Old Virigin in May). WTF?

I wouldn't doubt it, but I wouldn't set it in stone. With a name like Scorsese, they don't really need to space out releases to make money, but who knows.
Universal is pretty bad. Is it just me, or have there been about eight different Scarface releases in the past two months? I came across the new one while strolling through the store towards the end of last year, and it seems like basically the same thing with a few minimal changes and an inferior packaging design.

Got this for 10 bucks at the Virgin Mega Store in Orange County: Great film (much better than Hannibal...and I thought Hannibal was pretty good.)

For me, Silence of the Lambs is the best of the series. Anthony Hopkins is chilling as Dr. Hannibal Lecter. His performance will haunt you for days after your first time watching it.
Even after subsequent viewings, I still get chills. He came EXTREMELY close to capturing that same persona in Red Dragon....but Silence gets the nod from me.
I haven't seen Hannibal Rising yet, but I have read the book. The book was pretty good (not great, though). It is intriguing, however, discovering how Hannibal Lecter actually became the monster that we all know and (in a sick way) kind of love.

The reason why people dig Hannibal Lecter is because he's a slick smart evil bastard. Trust me, people in general admire ingenuity, even while he's going to lunch on you. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, whatever its the best movie of 1990 is up for debate, but its a very good piece of thriller-entertainment. Too bad that Ted Levine got typecasted for more than a decade as a crazy-ass psychopath. Luckily, he's rehabbed his career with solid work on MONK as police Captain Stottlemyer. Now HANNIBAL, is a situation where the script is a mess. Of course, I thought the book itself was a mess, which means trying to script a movie out of a wreck of a book is almost a losing proposition. However, Ridley Scott's direction is superb as always, and he gets decent dramatic jobs from Ray Liotta and the uncredited Gary Oldman. Besides, the ending shot of the movie is just damn evil... I'm surprised nobody has talked about MANHUNTER, Michael Mann's 1986 adaptation of RED DRAGON. Interesting. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1990) - **** HANNIBAL (2001) - *** MANHUNTER (1986) - **1/2 RED DRAGON (2002) - **1/2
