I still have a moving box full of them. Those things are freaking heavy. I miss the album art the most. Especially the multi disc ones that fold open like a book and greet you with awesome stills from the movie. My player broke 7 years ago, it might need a new belt. The laserdiscs themselves might have suffered the dreadful disc rot too by now.
I have replaced most of my laserdiscs with dvd and blu-ray. Laserdisc could keep up with early DVD quality but looks quite ugly on LCD tvs. It was a great time with a CRT projector, but I don't miss the distortions you get with CRT, especially in high contrast scenes.
RIP 1978-2002. They make good wall ornaments nowadays.
