To laser disk owners,

	I was in a local video store recently and noticed that "Raiders
of the Lost Ark" was available on laser disk. To my astonishment it
was not encoded in the usual compressed format (to pack it on a single 
disk). It comes on a 2 disk set and permits all those wonderful effects
like freeze frame, forward and reverse scan, searching, etc.
	The price is a little steep (@$60) but I think its worth it.
Most of the movies on laser disk are of the compressed variety which 
takes away most of the special features of the laser disk. I only wish
some of the Star Wars epics were available in this format.
	Anybody know of any other movies/video's on disk that might be
fun/interesting to watch using the special laser disk features??
