U2 3D Concert

When the new print of "Dial M for Murder" was shown at the ICA in London, the person introducing it said that the distributors had no interest in showing it anywhere else and that the print had to be sent back to the US ASAP. How times have changed.
Hitchcock's use of 3D is so restrained that it makes a boring, stagebound movie even more so.
It's probably a character flaw but I feel cheated if things don't get hurled from the screen now and again.

U23D was very unique experience as it had some very creative use to 3D never seen elsewhere. I especially love the filmmakers using 3D to collage several shots into one scene, and then fading in/out other shots to mix up the collage. There were only a few moments of those but they provided a very, very unique visual sensation that's quite difficult to describe in words.

The current Blu-Ray 3D version of "Creature from the Black Lagoon" is very good although the restorers have supposedly altered the 3D window to make things more up front rather than retain the original greater impression of depth.
Even so, it's still impressive.

The Great Gatsby. The 3D gave you the feeling that you were watching a play instead of a film. I was pleasantly surprised, usually I can't stand 3D.

Still, my absolute BEST 3D experience remains
The Polar Express in IMAX 3D
one of the few times I shelled out money to see it twice in IMAX! Not to mention the movie is just so heart warming, it climbed the charts to #1 as my fav Christmas movie EVA!
I'd have to say my 2nd best experience currently goes to
Pacific Rim
also in IMAX 3D! Bought the 3D Blu Ray and has not dissappinted and is arguably the best 3D Blu Ray I currently own! Special features also reveal Mr. Del Toro was given more time to perfect the 3D in the filmand it certainly shows! Definite show off material peoplecan't urge you enough to buy it!
Special mentions to (don't laugh)
Chicken Little
and of course,
Avatar
which, at their respective times of release, were pretty nifty & mind blowing 3D Flicks when I went & saw them theatrically!

Fort Ti
When the Indians shot flaming arrows at you, my grandmother moaned, shut her eyes & never looked at the rest of the movie! LOL. Having loved the "throwing in your face" gimmicks in the 1950's, I begged to be taken to every 3D flick and saw probably 50% of them.
House of Wax
was absolute killer, no pun intended. When Charles Bronson followed Phyllis Kirk in the museum, I first thought someone was standing right in front of me until he walked into the screen.
Phantom of the Rue Morgue
started with a woman screaming in the streets of Paris and funning right up to your face crying, "Murder, Murder in the Rue Morgue!"
It Came from Outer Space
,
The Mad Magician
and
Inferno
were very effective.
In the early '80's I loved the photography in
Coming at You!
as well as
Halloween 3D
. But that attempted 3D revival didn't last long as movie goers didn't want it.
Of the current crop of 3D movies I liked
Avatar
,
Hugo
and (just seen)
Pompeii
the best. For the extra admission fee, I feel it's insulting to advertise a movie in 3D which was not actually shot in the process but gimmicked afterwards to simulate depth. Whether or not the producers want to immerse viewers in the action (which 3D at its best does), it's a confidence game not to have used two cameras and an elaborate depth field to create the illusion. JMHO
I hope whoever owns the rights to most of those '50's 3D flicks will (if the prints/negatives still exist) remaster them and issue them on BluRay 3D. Can there live a breathing man who doesn't want to see
The Revolt of Mamie Stover
in 3D? Or hum and sing along with
Kiss Me Kate
? Or see Vincent Price manning his buzz saw and crematorium again? Just asking!

It's a pity that so few of the 50s classics are readily available as movies like "House of Wax" and "It Came from Outer Space" make most modern offerings look rather feeble by comparison.
Even now on the big (and small) screen, "House of Wax" still thrills people.
