Thanks for posting these, Karl.

Man, I hope Universal threw in "The Sting II" for free as part of a package deal.

Looking forward to seeing The Outlaw Josey Wales , I haven't seen it in awhile.

Totally agree!

Karl: Could we start getting these early again? Builds some anticipation (I looked forward to the threads, frankly), and allowed me some time to schedule recordings on my DVR's. Thanks for considering! :o

Cool Hand Luke, the sweatiest movie ever made.

One helluva month!

Well, I had done without the HD Extra package from DirecTV since they took them away until this month. Looks like I'll add them back on this month. $4.99 ain't too bad for those movies.

I think you mean "sweatiest"

Hi Bruce, I made the change to start posting highlights once that particular month started to get closer to when the movies were airing...and closer to the date when subscribers can schedule the recordings on their DVR's.

many HDNet employees read AVS and we appreciate any and all feedback.

Understood. Not sure what the feedback has been to you since, but I personally liked it the way you did it before. For example, I'm now in the mood to see what is coming in July. Not knowing until after July 1, for me, well, in a word, sucks. :rolleyes:

But just happy to have you HDNET'ers on board... and HDNM is still my favorite HD channel. Er, until TCM is available in HD. :D

my picks: eat drink man woman, talk to her.

Looking forward to seeing The Outlaw Josey Wales , I haven't seen it in awhile.

I was very pleased and surprised how good the transfer was. I didn't notice any grain while I was watching, very crisp and clean to my eyes. TOJW is probably my favorite Eastwood western.

wait until july.. we got some good ones that month.
some classic speilberg about a lost alien.

Is there any plan to re-run Outlaw (I believe that was the name). Set in London a vigilante flick. I had it DVR'd until my box decided to reset itself and erase everything saved on it. I know it is on DVD but really wanted to see it in HD.

Watched Adaptation, had seen it on DVD, man that's a good movie. Josey Wales looked fantastic. I'll be recording The Music Man, I haven't seen that since I was a kid.

many HDNet employees read AVS and we appreciate any and all feedback.

Here is some feedback for ya. Okay, maybe it is really a programming suggestion. At the end of each month, have a "viewers choice" showing. You could have viewers vote on the movie from the previous month they most want to be re-shown (if the rights permit it). The voting could be done here on AVS or perhaps via the HDNet web site. I have had it happen a couple of times where I missed a chance to record a good movie. This might be a "second chance" opportunity. Thanks for listening.

Bruce: The printable schedule for July is up on the HDNet web site today. The full next month's schedule is usually posted 2-3 weeks before the next month begins. Makes it easy to plan ahead. :)

Thanks for your good suggestion but we won't be able to do that since our schedules are set 3 months ahead due to online guide deadlines. Many of our films repeat the next month in order to offer multiple viewing options. Please check out the Complete Movie List at www.hdnetmovies.com to see films and playdates for the next 30 days.
