 I've seen have been pretty horrible; I certainly wouldn't want to spend
 ~$100+ for something which is basically a piece of junk. 
 
 I'd be interested in hearing your comments about films w/the LCD glasses
 which are on video. 
 
 I was looking through a history of 3-D films and it seems like quite a lot
 of them were made over the years.  I wonder who owns the copyrights on them
 and why no one is doing anything with them.

You don't need to pay $100 for them.  VREX has them on WWW.EBAY.COM.  I bought
one for $30 another for $35.

WWW.STEREOSPACE.COM has a few movies, use to have a large collection.  They
stopped selling most of their movies because they were copying them from laser
discs - IMOP. 

The picture quality varies depending on the source.  The 3-D is the best you
can get on TV.  There is flicker but, it can be reduced by lowering your
contrast.

No one is doing anything legally with the old 3-D classic movies because you
have to pay about $250,000 (according to someone I talked to at VREX) to get
the rights to put one movie on video.  You would have to sell a lot of tapes
to make back the cost.
