What? There's no thread for the format that ran from 1978-2000, 22 years, providing great quality for movie lovers?  Well, NOW there is! I love laserdiscs!  Who else loves this format?
I love the size, the art, the quality. Sure BluRays are better, but DVDs were NOT, no matter what techies will claim.
I love the size, and how the art on the cover and inside some looks.

no they don't! I can put an entire dinner on a laser disc, but on a DVD you can just put a hamburger, but no fries.

well all and all ... LaserDisc is the best format IMO... especially if you get one of the players that can play both sides without flipping over

There are techies that say that DVDS can produce more something per inch or something...but just because it CAN doesn't mean it DOES. IMO:
BRD>LD>DVD>VHS>VCD
and i'm not sure where to put CED since i've never owned the player.

well CED is a lot like LD if I had to make a list like yours it would be

LD>CED>BRD>BetaMax>VHS

I completely missed the DVD era... I never had a dvd player and never saw a movie in that format so ... thats my list Tongue

but DVDs are still sold and play on BRPs...wow, that's unusual. Either way, I have a ton of DVDs since they are more easy to acquire, and cheaper.

I joined this forum to look at the collection of BIGUNS, but this forum won't allow me to look-up that member. it's rather strange. But he is into Laserdiscs and is located near me.

The DVD era technically isn't over. They haven't quit printing movies on DVD yet, and I have a feeling it'll be a a while before they do, considering most people don't see upgrading to Blu-Ray as something special like going from VHS to DVD was.

I'd love to get my hands on a Laserdisc player and some laserdiscs, but they are just non existent around here.  I haven't seen one since they were still being sold at stores and even then it was really, really rare.

Ah, the Laserdisc. I love it. I actually have a Japanese Copy of The Wizard (Nintendo Movie) on LD.
