OK, I've been floating around this forum for a long time now and I am all for preserving the original versions in the best possible format, but this is getting crazy. Pretty much all the talk on these forums is how to preserve this version and that version etc. It kind of goes against the point of this web site. Ultimately we would all love to have the original theatrical versions on DVD. But until that happens, if that happens, I still enjoy watching the trilogy on good old VHS. IT’S NOT THAT BAD! If you take proper care of your videocassettes, store them correctly, exercise them regularly, and if you have a decent VCR, and who doesn't these days, and if your television is set-up and calibrated properly, VHS can be pretty damn good. Of course it's not DVD, but I still enjoy these classic movies as much as I ever did. I still collect the trilogy on VHS. Whenever I find copies, I pick 'em up. Of all the different VHS releases, they are all slightly different (colour correction, etc.) I don't really know what I am trying to say here. Guess I'm just venting!
