Greetings! I found this site after being heartbroken watching the latest 4k remastering of The Lord of the Rings. Was desperate to find any information I could on where/how I could watch the films again with as much preserved from the original 35mm scans as possible, and I did!

I’m very, very into movies, but have been disappointed a lot recently (with new films, and with remasterings of beloved classics) and this seems like a great community of like-minded folks. I’m especially a sucker for 35mm–everything about the quality of it is just superior, in my taste, to digital. But, again, many remasters try to hide the film-origin of a lot of these great movies.

I’m hoping to poke around and explore the forums to find cool projects people are working on, and maybe to learn a little bit about how folks are doing these amazing things!

Some of my FAVORITE movies:

In the Mood for Love - Won Kar Wai
Stalker - Andrei Tarkovsky
Through a Glass Darkly - Ingmar Bergman
The Lord of the Rings - Peter Jackson
Bladerunner (and ALIEN) - Ridley Scott
Hiroshima Mon Amore - Alain Resnais
Aftersun - Charlotte Wells
Dune (Part 1 and 2) - Denis Villeneuve
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - Hayao Miyazaki
From Up on Poppy Hill - Gorō Miyazaki
And of course, Star Wars (pretty much everything) - George Lucas, et al

Anyways, excited to be here, glad to be here!
