Dr. Macro's High Quality Movie Scans ... high quality scans of famous screen stars and their movies, mostly from the 1940's and earlier, as well as a collection of film clips and movie summaries from the golden age of Hollywood.

Those scans are amazing. I love the depth of field on this image of Clark Gable.

Good point, keswick. I asked Matt to coralize the main link. maybe that'll take a little off the top.

I love the depth of field on this image of Clark Gable. Either that's some serious tilt-shift, or (more likely) the lens is covered with Vaseline.

Does "coralize" mean "make the link not work"?

Good god almighty. Somebody create a cache. This must be preserved for the future. Totally awesome. Tears apply.

Coral is a distributed cache network. The theory is that instead of all of us hitting one server, and sending his bandwidth bill through the roof, we'll actually access a version of the site that's stored on various servers around the world. To coralize a site, you add a little snippet to the url. http://www.doctormacro.com/Galleries.htm becomes >> http://www.doctormacro.com.nyud.net:8090/Galleries.htm I can't explain why you can't get to the coralized version of the site, but try the true url if you can't.
