I decided I wanted to update my collection and get a DVD of "The 
President's Analyst" which was a comedy from the 1960's with James 
Coburn.  I found it at Fry's ($10) and enjoyed watching it again last 
night.  It still holds its own this day in age and even predicted some 
things like embedding chips in people.  Great fun and recommended 
viewing and very "sixties."  I actually saw it in a theater when it 
played in 1967 at Christmas.

I may buy it again when the HD DVD wars settle down (BTW the AACS 
protection has already been broken on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) although I 
admit William Fraker must have been working in a rushed situation as 
focus wasn't so good in some scenes and it wasn't the DVD encoding 
(wrong subject was in focus i.e.) so I'm not sure how much better an HD 
version would be.  They should also do a 5.1 remix with theater ambiance 
as an optional track as the  Dolby mono track was a little flat sounding 
so turned on the DSP on my AV receiver to give it a little ambiance like 
it would sound in a movie theater.
