HUH?, I was talking about the entire catalog of all movies ever made. I agree with you that most new movies are garbage, but you can see all of the best movies EVER made in HD and just because they are old doesnt mean they dont look way better than ever in HD, they often DO. HDNetMovies channel specializes in just that. It's one of my favorite HD channels. jco

(Don't even get me started on what passes for Drama). A lot of the current crap is Science Fiction, that's full of "howlers", (look it up if you're really interested), with many bad ideas recycled from the 1950s. Why would I want to watch form overpower substance at high prices? J. C.
