    THX 1138 by George Lucas

    In start films the number 1138 is used many times....

    That number is a referece to George Lucas film THX 1138.

    Anyone saw that movie? I think it's from 1971. i would like to see it, but i dont find it here in PT.

    Is it good?

    THX 1138 is definitely worth watching. It has a very unique style and look and any fan of Sci-Fi and future post apocalyptic futures should see it.

    It contains ideas similar to many other books/films of this kind. 1984 and This Perfect Day especially. Using drugs to suppress emotion and sexual desire so that the population can be controlled, and also telling everyone that the outside world is destroyed and life cannot live there. Similar in many respects to Logan's Run, Parts: The Clonus Horror, Fahrenheit 451, and more recently The Island.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    For that price, you can't do anything wrong. Best is to get your DVDs from the US, as they're a lot cheaper than in the UK.

    The other issue with ordering from the US is import duty. I don't know what the price level is there but you have to be careful as you may be charged by your customs for importing it from the US.

    Also regarding THX 1138, you said it is the directors cut. This is actually not the same as the original version of the film. Lucas recently redid the whole film, re-editing it and redoing a lot of it and many fans have said it's not as good and he should have left it alone. I've not seen the directors cut so cannot comment.

    Well spotted. THX isn't actually a type of audio system, but is a certification of audio authenticity standard. Originally designed for cinemas, if a cinema is setup to THX standards it is guaranteed to reproduce the audio for a THX certified film as it was intended to be heard. It has since gone on to become a standard for many formats including audio and visual and now even covers HDTV.

    It was called THX because the inventors name was Tomlinson Holman, and because he was developing it at Lucasfilm he thought that using THX from Lucas' first film was a great idea as it was contained his own initials.
