But at least you can see it if you squint. Otherwise you'll never see it no matter how hard you look. Try watching Lawrence of Arabia or Ben Hur in full screen. I dare you! :-)

Lawrence of Arabia was not meant for television screens.

Some films I will only watch on a movie screen (even though it may be years between screenings).

Blade Runner is among those.

Some need the "size" to work properly. I found suprisingly that even the end sequence to Blake Edwards/Peter Sellers' The Party needs a big screen.

Perhaps home projection will work on some of them. I'll need to bring some to a friend's a try it out.

I already have and guess what if you don't know what you're missing You don't miss it Try watching Lord of the Rings in letter box on a 27" TV it sucks.I don't mind watching letterbox on some of my friends gigantic Home Theater systems but TV is just not a big enough part of my life to spend that much money on it.I resent the fact that many of these DVDs are almost unwatchable without a big screen and surround sound.
