The list of 70mm films in THE ULTMATE WIDESCREEN DVD MOVIE GUIDE (article by Michael Coate and William Kallay) does not list RAMBO III.I've found this guide to be very accurate, even to including which trailers were shown in 70mm. Mark Lensenmayer

I've got Bill and Mike's 70mm list (of blow-ups) on my web site at http://hjem.get2net.dk/in70mm/magazine/lister/blow_up/forword.htm "Dances with Wolves" was indeed shown in 70mm (at least here in Europe). I saw it on the 30 m/90 ft IMAX Kinepolis screen in Bruxelles, and the image quality was rubbish! The 5/70 blow-up image was enlarged too much. Image was fuzzy and lacking contrast as I recall it. Not an impressing presentation on an Imax screen. Bobby, are you the same Bobby Hendeson who wrote about CDS? If so, I can confirm seeing/hearing "Universal Soldier" in CDS at Kinepolis in Bruxelles (Belgium). ------------------

Yes, I wrote a bit about Cinema Digital Sound for Perry Sun's Movie Sound Page website (which seems to be no longer updated except for the now playing in digital sound films list).I had long wondered about "Universal Soldier" actually having any 35mm CDS prints. Sony Pictures did originally announce the film as supporting it, and I think some early advertising for the L.A. area indicated it would play in CDS. However, most Los Angelenos film buffs have told me only Dolby SR prints were actually played there. I guess it would be an interesting footnote to include with the CDS films list. Speaking of dead formats, I was never able to find any of the advertising stuff for the French LC Digital sound format (just an anal retentive need for me to logos of just about every film format known to mankind in scaleable vector form). Anyone have any ideas where I might be able to come across that stuff? I did hear about "Dances With Wolves" having a European 70mm print. If I add anything, it would be a special footnote addition like my lists of 70mm DTS blowups playing at the Spektrum. The main thing that would truly qualify a movie getting on the main 70mm films list is for it to feature 70mm prints in its original domestic theatrical release. For American films, the movie needs to book 70mm prints in American theaters during the original run. Otherwise, it just becomes a special footnote listing.
