Solid video with some great info! I personally wouldn’t pay some of those crazy secondary market prices especially if it was a DVD or BD.

Love 'Murder At 1600" - we always need more Diane Lane in HD or UHD :)

Back in the early 2000's I fell for Jessica Alba HARD, and I DO MEAN HARD, so I just bought 'Meet Bill'. Thank you for reminding me about that film. The best looking blu-ray I have, most reference quality is in fact 1080i not 1080p. Speaking of imports, it's the Nature series 'Africa' and I got the dutch blu-ray because it has exclusive extra features. Absolutely stunning visuals (in 1080i). I mentioned to you in your previous video where you spoke about dvd's you want on blu-ray, that Germany, France and Asia all have blu-ray's for 'A Good Year'. I also opted the German disc too. Made and showed a nice US style replacement sleeve. Yeah that one has a German rating of '0', so suitable for zero people?!? P.S. The uncut blu-ray of 'Die Hard 4' is now available in the US, but it wasn't until the series came out in the set of all five films with the large Nakatomi Plaza plastic replica included. I bought that set with the Building replica just for the unrated cut, and posted gave the building to a friend, then, of course, a stand alone release of the unrated cut of part 4 was put out. The 'Die Hard' series is another one I've made nice matching individual sleeves for. I dislike the multi-pack packaging.

So it's kind of funny.... prior to DVD, I had a lot of VHS tapes in my late teens and early 20's, some went back to my childhood days.... I started collecting DVD's probably in 2002, 0r 2003, kind of when they really started to catch on (I know they have been around since like 1996 or 1997 and I had a couple then, but I didn't have my own DVD player and could only watch them at my dads house as he had a DVD player). Once I got my first DVD player around 2002, I started replacing my movies on VHS on DVD as the movies became available... I now regret getting rid of my VHS collection with the exception of a very select few (thankfully my dad still has his VHS collection and there was some overlap).... I started doing the same with Blu-rays and purged a lot of my DVD's with plans to replace them once the blu-ray released, regret some that too. Some of my older DVD's look awful, but I have kept them because Blu-rays for those movies have not become available yet and who knows if they ever will. I have bought some used DVD's in recent years to replace movies on DVD I purged because, again, they have not released on blu-ray yet... or I have bought them through Warner Archive, which will press a DVD (and some blu-ray) upon ordering.... or at least that is what they used to do.... and they are decently priced. As far as boutique labels go, I have always been a fan of Criterion for a long time... and the last few years Kino and Shout Factory have had some great releases.... I have a few Arrow releases, there are more I want, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I only have one Vinegar Syndrome release, though there are a couple others I want to get. I have not gotten any Second Sight because I do not have an all-region player, I really wanted to get their release of Dawn of the Dead, but my old Anchor Bay DVD set of that has a beautiful transfer and my blu-ray player upconverts the image already and it contains most of the same special features and all the different cuts/edits of the film, so it was not a priority. I also want to get their release of the original version of The Hitcher as it's the first time it will be released on Blu-ray and they have completely gone through and restored the picture for the release. But when it comes to boutique releases, I just weigh it against if I already have the movie or not and if I do, do I feel the need to double dip or replace it. A lot of the times for me it will depend on if the picture transfer has been restored or not. Other times it's if it's one of my favorite movies, if so, I am going to want the best quality version and release of said movie.... And though I have not dipped my toes fully into the 4K realm yet simply because I do not have a 4K Player or TV yet... I have few that I got that have both the 4K and blu-ray discs in them so whenever I do upgrade, I won't have to get those. Lately I have been trying to limit my collecting to buying older movies that are hard to find now or might be out of print or I purged and never replaced or movies I can't live without.

Underworld 5 not great I unapologetically love them all. Dial of Destiny felt like a weird fan fiction or a bad tv movie I wish I didn’t watch it. I fell off the Fast movies after the 1st one but Tokyo Drift kind of works and only have it because I found the HD DVD. Haven’t really been into the X-men movies, the 1st was great at the time because we didn’t have many super hero movies but haven’t revisited it often. Alien & Aliens are the best, Prometheus glad you do but they movie not my jam. Loved Predator 1&2 was very apprehensive thinking it was going to be another girl boss film my kid wanted to see it I enjoyed it even though it has some bothersome parts. Every movie franchise has its best and worst I surprisingly enough love Jason Takes Manhattan being my 2nd favorite after the 1st one. (Rant) I know reboots and sequels & franchise movies aren’t going anywhere I want more original movies. One of the best things Walt Disney did was turn to classic literature for those animated films, with more books than movies I’d assume it could be an infinite source of ideas yet Mad Max (without Max) is in theaters right now. How many more crappy sequels from 30+ year old movies are we going to get?

I've imported a fair bit of Region B myself due to lack of a US HD release. I don't go for a lot of the sex comedies and romance stuff you seem to. Are you a fan of the 2002 surfing film Blue Crush? Never saw that one, might give it a watch during the summer.

U sold me on truth or dare I just bought it 😊

Prometheus is sorely misunderstood and underrated. But i did like Covenant and ill never understand the hate. Personally, i think Prometheus and Covenant are better movies than Alien 3

Rogue Nation is the best and my favorite Mission Impossible. The first MI is right up there.

X-Men Days of Future Past is technically the 7th movie in the X-Men saga. First Class is the 5th movie and its one of the greatest prequels ever made. I consider Days of Future Past to be the greatest superhero movie ever made

Only took 4 months from your video and Cry Baby is finally out. I’m still waiting for Lost in Translation to get a release on 4K, which was announced years ago at this point.

Great video! I'll be searching for some of these titles.

Me, too (I live in Germany). For me it's importing from the US. But honestly I never heard or found one of these movies here in Germany, lol.

I actually bought the Power Rangers movies before they went out of print. The first movie I bought it off Shout Factory and the sequel I bought it off Barnes and Noble. I believe I bought both movies last year when I saw that both were going out of print because of Fox is under Disney.

We didn't get a Blu Ray release of A good year either here in Australia

I really enjoyed Prey. I lnow nobody liked it but I liked predator (4) I think it's still entertaining.. I agree that Rodriguez's predators is one of the best ones. But of course The originals the best. I actually enjoy aliens versus predator.. I think it's entertaining and I'm glad it exists.

Days of Future past is really good. I'm a huge fan of the original cartoon from the 90s and I love wolverine so I personally love the original trilogy. And the wolverine movies. especially the wolverine. If you can find the 3D Blu-ray it comes with the unrated cut. I can't wait till Deadpool 3 or Deadpool versus wolverine 😎😄

I love just friends! Chris Kline is such a a dick! Best role! It works so well because He's playing against type. Love good kids too! So funny!

I found it as truth or dare uncut edition on tubi by searching for truth or die on the roku app.

One of my favorite discoveries when looking for imports was finding the movie One Eight Seven (187) 1997 with Sam L. Jackson in 4k. A massive upgrade from the US DVD. Check it out.

Have you checked out sloppysecondsales.com

Ha Ha every time I have pizza I have to watch at least one of the Turtle movies. Side note every time I hear Power Of Love in the grocery store as soon as I get home Back to The Future marathon. I picked up a region free Blu-ray player last year I can't say that it saved my collection because I happily still collect VHS, DVD, & HD DVD. I will say that it has made My collection better quit a few movies I wanted and bought not even realizing they were region locked i.e. Killer Klowns, The Burbs, Buckaroo Banzai all from Arrow Video. Red Sonja and Irreversible just to name the ones I can remember. Since then many of them have come to the U.S. and when I grabbed them zero news on them getting a release here. Just friends is my all time favorite Christmas Movie I laugh so hard every time I watch the film, Ryan Reynolds singing in the fat suit just kills me. had no clue there were foreign Blu-rays going to get one now and make a custom cover. I have a similar video in the pipeline thought i was going to have to tweak it a bit but we have completely different topics. Great video brother.

😳 Brian coming with a hot take with Predators over the OG. For me, Prey is the 2nd best in the franchise. The Dolby Atmos is very good too.

I love Just friends...so hard to believe it hasnt at least gotten a Blu Ray release here...

Living in European country and one that doesn't have any local releases importing is all i can do to get stuff, and between Germany, France, Italy and Spain(less UK now because of Brexit but sill a good source overall) you can find almost anything and a lot of obscure and hard to find stuff.

I liked My Date with the Presidents Daughter. Also liked Susie Q.

You don't have to justify what you're buying.I have a box with two movies :Vampire lovers and Lust for a Vampire ( i bought it for 10 euros a couple of years ago) now it's 90 euros ( 100 dollars) on E bay.DOA i bought this b movie for one euro also about 10 years ago

Die Hard: Year One/McClane (still think it should have been titled Old Habits Die Hard) was going to be both a prequel and a sequel as it would have flashed back to when John McClane first became a detective and his first case, which was sort of based on the Die Hard: Year One comic series that was released when Live Free or Die Hard came out... and then the sequel elements were going to catch up with the older John McLane and his current situation he was in was going to be directly tied to that first case he had.

The only other movies I can think of that they did this with 1. Kingpin as the theatrical cut was PG-13... so when they released it on DVD, they released an R rated version too and it was prominently shown on the cover... Not sure about the Blu-ray release though.... 2. Good Boys... as that was an R rated comedy featuring kids who were 13 years old. 3. Strays... because it's an R rated talking dog movie.

Glad this channel popped up in my KZbin suggestions!

One Out -of-Print bluaray I may eventually shell out the money for is Dogma. I have two disc DVD set with the case that looks like bible (that also is out-of-print), but I never upgraded to blu-ray. And with the licensing rights still owned by Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Smith not able to get them back Who knows if it will ever be released again on physical media...

I get all my blurays in CEX or I get the 2 for 20 euro deal in Golden Discs.

Some nice pickups, just jumped back into collecting 4k and blu rays dropped off for a while as got side tracked buying bbq equipment 😂

Check out Shout Factory they have pretty much all the Horror movies you ever would want to own🔥🔥🔥

I love Friday The 13th part 5.

I begin to doubt your sanity when you say prey boy the way they did that movie showed the producers and screen writer knew nothing about that time period or the predator movies, so many things on the wrong side. It was like a director does a graphic novel story who has never read any of the graphic stories and does not even come close to the original story line which X-men were one of these.

I started to look to dvd again and asking myself if I really need a blu-ray or 4k of specific films. At the end of the day, I love movies not the picture quality. It’s just an option that I think some people won’t look at because it’s not the sexy choice

Hello, I watched your video on John Tucker and the USA bluray issues. I have a Germany version with English language. Reach out to me if your interested as it plays fine

You missed out on scream 5 and 6. I recommend watching it and giving your own opinion.

"Prometheus?" Are you kidding me? Holy shit, this video wasn't your best idea.

X-2 is the BEST X-Men film period. Days of Future Past was all over the place and super inconsistent.

I think any film thats a raunchy comedy (By todays standards) or has a theme thats not PC in 2024 will sadly have a high chance of being hard to aquire on physical media going forward.

I’m not sure I’d do it again any time soon but the most I’ve paid for a single release is £70 for the BFI Flipside release of Joanna after discovering the label and buying every release thus far except this little known gem. At the time it seemed a bit over indulgent but the film is such a delight and it know fills that hole on the shelf amongst all its friends and family … … plus it goes without saying if you’ve not seen any of the films on the label then go check them out as there are some incredible films and true unsung gems on the list.

The 'Crank 2' Lionsgate blu-ray has playback issues too. Meaning it does not without using a USB stick because the players need the extra support or something to get them to even load. My UK blu-ray won't even make it as far as the disc menu, and I've seen that the US disc has the exact same issue. I just got the Australian blu-ray because as it's a different company edition, Sony, it does not have that loading/playback issue at all. The "burned in" subtitles for Spanish spoken parts are not "burned in", which is a real shame, but that's another natter.

X-Men Origins Wolverine is technically the 4th, making First Class the 5th. I would argue, First Class revitalized the franchise.

Tomcats!!!!!

Call me "crazy", but I liked the fourth 'Fast and Furious' a lot, because the tone got noticeably serious, but in a good way (unlike 'Man of Steel' which I hated with a passion.) That fourth entry stands out too me, in a good way, although I think now it's just become too ridiculous for it's own good. YES! I too REALLY like 'Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation' A LOT. REALLY well executed action set-pieces. Some of the best in recent years. (Although I did NOT like hearing Bengi say "my bad" in the amazing opening sequence. Purely because Simon Pegg's British, and that's an Americanism, and bad english, actually not English. I mean, that's the script, I get it, but, what's wrong with hearing English people speaking English? He should have said "my fault"). It's "controversial" for you don't like part 3? I don't see how. That's your opinion. 😄 Horror's not my thing at all, so I've only seen the first 'Nightmare On Elmstreet' film and that was when I was too young, and the only 'Friday' ilm I've seen is the one with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. I never got past 'Scream 3' 'The Rogue Cut' of 'Days of Future Past' is the only superior cut, I hear. I like 'Predator 2', saw it back in 1990 and had no issues with it, actually, I liked it BECAUSE it was different. I've only seen the first 20 minutes of 'Prey' but I liked what I saw and should probably go back to it, I honestly don't watch films so much these days, as friends talking about that and just that, has put me off.

I found a copy of cruel intentions for a buck in my local shop. Wow didnt know it costs that much

Love the content, thanks!
