Lyonel Baratheon Is my favourite character

'Cronos' neat compact horror film, under 1hour 30 minutes too! 


Also 'Paris, Texas' - the child playing the eight year old steals every other scene from Harry Dean Stanton, which takes some doing.

And the BFI stream I watched was a superb piece of tele-cine, if that word is even applicable nowadays?

Well, movies are captured and digitised differently these days, but movies, not just television programs, still need to be transferred to home video and streaming.
I believe people say more often than not scanned (original camera negative was scanned at 2K/4K/8K whatever using Data/Tele/cine whatever name brand.

More info than you probably need.

Yes definitely enough. 

IIRC the French Air Force in 1940 had a prototype telecine system in a bomber, it took reconnaissance photos/film, processed it onboard and scanned it in order to transmit it to the ground.
