Yes, I believe The Last Starfighter is available on DVD, but the whole point here is preservation of what I saw when I first saw it. *smile* That particular movie night as a child was a good memory the fact that it was on LD is farily key to the memory. It was my first LD/big screen projection tv experience (remember the red green and blue flood lights?) so I've chosen to keep future viewings of the movie from LD. I've of course moved on past the old projection tv to a DLP projector, but LD is easy to hang on to.
As for the links, thank you, that helps a lot.
There is a LaserRot warning for the box set though, is this a major concern? Are the 'faces' discs any better about that or just not reported?
