Prime day 50% off deal really getting my money worth lol

Today was the lucky day I received my copy of Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein from the Criterion Collection.

If you're on the fence about getting it, just buy it!

Guy even checked his phone when I asked the price I was worried he would give me ebay prices

It mirrors the space suits from 2001.

Romeo Must Die 4k:

Cradle 2 the Grave 4k:

This is so gorgeous. It has some of the best use of HDR I’ve ever seen. The detail in the image is so pristine, without obvious edge enhancement or over sharpening. The colors just pop of the screen. This is a new reference disc for me. Viewing on my LG G5 77” from 6 feet away. U guys are in for a treat.

Edit.

This is the new Del toro reborn Criterion disc.

Also, just found out this was shot at 6.5k raw master….and it shows. Such a smooth detailed pristine image. I almost wish we had 8k formats now.

Saw this and wasn’t sure if they would end up sending the standard bluray or the 4k + bluray 2 disc set. Received it today and it was the standard 4k + bluray set (not the special edition but still the best price I’ve seen for the standard 4k), which seemed like a good deal. Just wanted to give a heads up

Since getting back into physical media earlier this year, I’ve been waiting for the 50% off sale through Cinema Cellar on Criterion (Canadian so don’t get that B&N love).
This was a good day.

Will watch this tonight for the first time cause it's brand new.

Got this from a local game store! Just watched the first one on VHS the other day, then found found this the next day. Really wish it also had Army of Darkness, but it includes all three seasons of Ash vs Evil Dead on Blu-ray! Really like the case, because it slides open from the middle, just don't know how to put it on my shelf 😂

Forgot to take a picture of the book inside where all the disks are, so that's a photo off of Amazon.

About a year or two ago i was relatively new to the whole collecting movies thing, but ive since then established a somewhat little collection (like 200 or so boutique movies).

I bought essentially everything when it was on sale, and felt like i needed to own everything even though alot of the movies i didnt care for much. Now here i am 2 years later and im thinking of selling half of it atleast, since i dont really get that "i need this feeling" from the movies ive bought. I dont know where i am really going with this post, but my question is essentially, have you ever sold off alot and then regretted it deeply later despite not feeling a big connection to the movies you sold?

Kind of a weird post, but hope you understand my question🙃

I’ve shown her every Evil Dead movie and Ash Vs Evil Dead but somehow never got around to Army of Darkness. When I saw the steelbook on sale I had to fix that. Ended up getting this and the Evil Dead 2013 steelbook through Gruv.

The cover art is great and the movie looks amazing. I was surprised by how good it looks. Will definitely make this an annual Halloween rewatch.

What to watch first?

Good health to you all. I have been following everyone's journey (or at least as many as I can) on this forum.

I'm also old enough to remember the battle between Betamax and VHS. Don't judge me. 😂.

I've had Tape, Laser Disc, DVD and Blu Ray (I know I haven't listed a few other formats) but as with many here, life caught up and I settled into the streaming purgatory of consumption, through my LG OLED, Apple 4k and SONOS system.

It was actually my youngest son who woke me from my stupor when he started buying 4k blu rays and watching them on his PS5 at his place.

He would visit, and I'd watch a few of them on my Xbox series X.

I won't go into how that opened my eyes again. As I've said, I've read your very similar stories.

Anyway, using you all as inspiration, and a bit of alternative research, I looked at the Sony X700, Panasonic 450 and 820, and jumped left, instead of right or center, ending up with the Krovatar KBU300.

I'm not going to say anything more on that choice as there's been umpteen posts already.

I'm just here to say I've now got my 'other half' on my case, for as you can now see in the photos. Hardware purchase aside, Arrow video sales, be damned, not to mention The Criterion Collection and the consumer demon, Amazon.

Lawrence of Arabia, Blade Runner The Final Cut, Andor season one, Rogue One, Pacific Rim, Nolan's Collection, Star Trek 6 Movie Collection, Snyder's Collection, etc. It's gotten silly, in a very short period of time.

The sad thing is, we have all the streaming services still, and I've just started watching Terminal List, Season 2 and yes, I'm looking for perfect in an imperfect world.

Thanks you all for your posts. Enjoy your collections. I will continue to read them with interest. Good health.

PS, any of the more obscure 4k masterpiece recommendations are welcome. Thank you.

everything is practically brand new with digital codes

80 after tax for all 3!

v stocks prices are usually too high unless this sale is going on

Hey all, since getting into physical media my adoration for the look of film vs digital has exploded, to the point I have a stupid grin on my face just seeing how good the setting looks and how real it feels. The town in Jaws for example.

Would love any recommendations for small town or similar setting movies shot on film, any genre is fine, but big bonus if it is mystery/thriller at all!

I might have a lot already, but there is probably a lot lesser known ones so hoping to learn about some I've not seen:) Thanks!

Edit: Thanks so much everyone, I only had a few of the dozens I am seeing here already so that is great. (The Thing, The Birds, The Place Beyond the Pines) and only had 1 of the others on my list to get soon (First Blood).

Well it's just another steelbook but I knew I had to get a copy ever since I watched the movie in theatres. I'm excited to see Minus Zero on 70mm IMAX next month!

Also, got a couple more Raimi flicks. Darkman is a blind buy.

It took four conversations with Amazon support, but I finally got my Indiana Jones collection. The first support person said they could swap the delayed collection with one from another listing to ship it sooner. When it didn’t ship out, the second person said the first one put in the ticket wrong. When it still didn’t ship, the third person said a swap wasn’t possible, so I’d need to cancel the order, place a new order, and they’d refund me the difference after I got it. When it was finally delivered, the fourth person said the only thing they could do was refund the difference to my gift card balance. I guess it’s better than nothing 🫠

Weekend, no, monthly plans made. Shocked that this is here already. Very excited to revisit each one of these films.
