I mean sure it's very nice that Bergman and Agnes Varda and such get to have luxurious collectors edition box sets but what's the point of all this physical media crap if Speed doesn't get the respect it deserves? They've let Keanu down and by extension they've let all of us down.

I went with Oleanna, The Last Detail, and Hardcore—all region-free, all favorites.

Nihonniboku posted:So, I'm looking for an alternative means of storing my movie collection. I got rid of the tall Ikea Billy bookcases that I used for over a decade to store them, and I've also cut way back on my movie collection. For a while I would buy pretty much any movie I saw and liked, even if I never planned to watch it again. My new solution is these fabric bins put in the bottom of an IKEA entertainment center. They fit two rows of Blu Rays snugly. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Herringbone-14-25-in-W-x-5-5-in-H-x-10-69-in-D-Gray-Fabric-Bin/1000184939

Basebf555 posted:It feels like a personal attack that Speed isn't getting a fancy Best Buy steelbook, and to make it worse the standard packaging looks like poo poo. We're talking about a classic 90's action film here people, show some respect! You mean something like this?  I pulled this from GeekGab on Instagram, who’s a decently reliable source for Blu-ray news, especially steelbook news. I don’t think the preorders are up yet but should be soon.

No Dennis Hopper so 8/10 but still miles better than the standard packaging.

Yeah, I actually think my current TV stand is an old Besta shelving unit that I converted into a TV stand. It's just 13 years old and has completely had it.

My parents went to see it and told me the title and I was like that sounds like a boring historical film and then they told me it was about aliens and destruction and I was like what the... I made people take me too it 4 times.

I want to say Independence Day was the first time I ever encountered a Thursday midnight premiere. Several theaters in my area had screenings at 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, etc. It was nuts.

I saw Independence Day on opening weekend with a packed crowd and right when they are attacking the mothership "enjoy a refreshing coke" popped up on the screen but the sound kept playing. Probably took them five or ten minutes to stop playing the film, then they resumed from that point and gave us free vouchers when we were exiting the theatre. People were throwing popcorn and poo poo, never seen anything like it.

Jurassic Park is my vote; never saw Terminator 2 in theaters otherwise that would have been my pick. I think I saw JP 6 times in its original theatrical run. Edit: it’s extremely annoying that I would have to buy a box set of crap I don’t want to get JP on UHD. I hate these “box set only” releases. And where’s Lawrence!!!

I saw both of them in the theater and they equally rocked my socks off. I'm sure a lot of people on here know this because I say it a lot and made Terminator 2 a MOTM thread but that's the first movie I saw that got me hooked on movies as a whole. People who aren't old enough to have seen that when it came out don't get the experience of seeing this grand spectacle that was like nothing that came before it. Everything's a bloated explodey spectacle now. But at that time Terminator 2 blew people's minds. And obviously it's still great and none of those action figures smashing together movies we have now even touch it. A lot of times if you wait a bit they unbundle the movies.

Lawrence of Arabia came out in that set almost a year ago now, and still no sign of an individual release. The Jurassic Park set came out almost two years ago, so it's definitely weird and makes you think they just don't have any plans to release them individually.

The Fifth Element is mine, the only reason I didn't walk out was because I was with friends who were loving it, and I was their ride. I feel like The Phantom Menace was the last real blockbuster, but DVD was what did them in.

Couldn’t understand why anyone enjoyed it. And I’m the kind of person that likes Michael Bay flicks.

I was 5 the summer when Twister & Independence Day came out and though I was super young I still remember how insanely loud both were. I'm a huge ID4 fan but probably has a lot to do with the age I saw it. Twister to this day remains the loudest movie I've ever seen in theaters. This year is its 25th and I hope they gimme a 4K Atmos UHD.

I’m sure I’ll get flak for this, but I really just want the first Back to the Future also and I know there is 0% chance there will ever be a standalone release of that. For Jurassic Park I’m cynical enough to think they are intentionally bundling them because how else will they get people to buy a JPIII UHD. david_a fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Mar 12, 2021 |

MTV's marketing campaign made Independence Day seem very real and very imminent but the hosts were all partying at a giant pool party. I believed it was happening and these people were just partying through it.

My "best summer blockbuster childhood experience" hands down goes to Jurassic Park. I saw it 4 times in the theater as a ten year old and it was loving magical.

The director's cut is worse, it contains a subplot about Randy Quaid's daughter trying to get laid that cumulates to her boyfriend saying something about how it's ok because they'll both die as virgins.

I ended up buying Predator twice on UHD when I realized they were never gonna release Predator 2 individually so I bought the set after I'd already bought Predator like a year earlier. Totally worth it.
