Any 3D Anaglyph movie recommendations?
I ordered a ten pack of these and I’ve been enjoying looking at photos with them https://archive.org/search?query=3D+anaglyph
Just curious, can anyone recommend movies that had released in this format? It’s not the same as the 3D that came to cinemas in more recent times so I doubt modern releases would count.
The only ones I can remember from the 90s were a Three Stooges release and possibly a 3D Who Framed Roger Rabbit release (both shown on TV during the 80s).
Note that there are different types of Anaglyph glasses. I think red and cyan are the most common, but there are red and blue ones as well as magenta and green ones.
Good movies overall: Dial M for Murder, Creature of the Black Lagoon, House of Wax (1953). Also, The Polar Express and Coraline... though I think those two were not Anaglyph in theaters, not completely sure. They did put those out in that format on disc, however.
80s horror that used the gimmick blatantly: Jaws 3-D, Friday the 13th 3-D, Amityville 3-D.
That said, I think there is some app that you can download to a computer and turn more modern day 3-D movies into Anaglyph colors.
That said, I much prefer newer 3-D technology. Besides Avatar, the best movies that used 3-D well are Gravity, Life of Pi, and especially Hugo. It sucks when studios pump out 3-D conversions to movies not meant to be 3-D originally, but when a director knows what they are doing, 3-D movies can look fantastic.
Thank you so much for the clarification and recommendations! I’ll start with Dial M for Murder and work from there.
I did see Gravity in 3D and was really impressed with it, even more so than Avatar in 3D. But besides that, for some reason I ended up preferring 2D movies in general. As you said, 3D movies aren’t created equally.
Thanks again, some great recommendations there that I didn’t know had 3D releases.
