Pauly shore was such a big part of growing up in the 90s for me. Absolutely love his movies!💜 The Weasel definitely deserves to be brought over to Blu-ray and 4K. 💯🙏

[@Transcinephile]

We really need a bluray of What About Bob

[@ThatWriterGuy]

I absolutely love Down Periscope! So many great lines in this move, especially the "Welcome Aboard" one!

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Lauren Holly 😍😍.. Rob Schneider as an evil douchebag 😂😂

[@ThatWriterGuy]

Lauren Holly is great! Another good one with her is The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

@@ThatWriterGuy you’re a poet & didn’t know it.. ohhhhh!!! 😎😂

[@ThatWriterGuy]

@@thelastmoviestanding Lol😂 That's another one where the U.S. Blu-ray is ridiculously priced now.

[@VictorDelvalle]

Really have been loving your videos lately! I absolutely agree with The Ref getting a Blu-Ray or 4K, I watched that last Christmas and absolutely loved it. Quick correction, though: Hollywood Pictures was actually a division of Disney itself. It was created as another adult label for Disney to increase production. Pretty much a sister studio to Touchstone. So yes, Disney technically owns Encino Man and Son In Law, which you were not wrong about, but they didn't acquire those as part of the Fox acquisition, as they actually made them back in the day.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

lol damn! another mess up 🤣 I feel now that you said that I should have known that lol I probably did but in the moment filming, I thought it was Fox 🤦‍♂ I mixed up Kid N Play too, I kept calling Touchstone Fox in this... but I caught that 1 in editing lol Disney just owns everything good!! 😭

[@BeyondTheGraveMedia]

Oh man!!! SON-IN LAW IS CINEMA! I watch certain scenes on repeat when I do sit down for my bi-yearly binge lol. Unbelievably quotable still! Had to eventually buy it digitally because the DVD is presented in 4:3 which is trying after all these years. Awesome content, awesome vid!

[@RedakaiCity]

Son in Law is the GOAT

[@thelastmoviestanding]

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Thanks man! my DVD is widescreen 1.85:1

[@BeyondTheGraveMedia]

@@thelastmoviestanding What!?!?! I'm over here living like a pioneer with a 1/3 screen outta 70 in lol

[@kevinkelley3906]

Encino Man was my first date movie that was with my Wife (girlfriend at the time)

[@thelastmoviestanding]

that's awesome man!!

[@lanceyt9982]

Encino man was my favorite movie in middle school.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

It still holds up! soooo good!

[@tmorganriley]

I am still waiting on "Waking Ned Devine", (1998) my main watch for St. Patricks Day, but it is still only on a low-res non-anamorphic DVD.

[@hdna12]

I really wish Mill creek would've release Encino Man, Son-In-Law, and In The Army on Blu-ray.

[@dale0side]

For me, it's Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo. Love that movie. I bought it on DVD and then on Prime only because there was no Blu-ray. You have a great ending for this one on comedy with the clip from Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo and then the DVDs shooting with your reaction! You may not have planed the last bit, but priceless!

[@thelastmoviestanding]

lol thanks! yea Deuce Bigalow! never disappointed when I pop it in.

[@jesseswarbrick7895]

Summer Rental(1985) with John Candy definitely deserves a blu ray, its criminal that Paramount still hasnt put this on blu ray, like wtf....Another one that comes to mind is The Distinguished Gentlemen(1992) with Eddie Murphy...Stakeout(1987) is another one especially considering the sequel already has a blu ray...Ritchie Rich(1994), Dennis The Menace(1993), Rookie Of The Year(1993), Little Giants(1994) are some kids classics i would like to see get blu rays

[@thelastmoviestanding]

All those are GREAT pics!! I have a sports list coming out soon with Rookie of the Year & Little Giants. It's crazy Stakeout never has when I seen Stakeout 2 on blu all the time for $3. I wonder if they are different studios

[@ozzy.....7383]

I’ve been watching summer rental over and over the last couple years and it would look amazing

[@sublind4225]

I'm definitely a Pauly Shore fan! I love him as Bobby in a goofy movie, so hilarious 😅 I might watch son in law today, you've put me in the mood now... Another fun video, thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@thelastmoviestanding]

its never a bad day to watch Son In Law! lol Pauly always puts me in a good mood.

[@entertainmentforall6609]

Maybe you can also wear your Steven Tyler PJs

[@perryfan49]

I love the Pauly Shore movies! I really hope those get blu rays in the near future! It’s a crime that at the very least Encino Man doesn’t have a blu ray yet!!!

[@thelastmoviestanding]

100% agree! Encino Man needs something!

[@TheBoss-pb1gd]

Just discovered your channel. Great delivery. Were of similar age. Similar movie tastes. I subscribed after the 2nd video.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Thanks man!

[@Beatboxing]

1:41 - Sean Astin is Samwise Gamgee, not Frodo! 😆

[@thelastmoviestanding]

yea I totally forgot to correct myself in post on that 1 🤣🤦‍♂

[@Desman6]

And a perfect video to once again point to The Ref. Absolute tragedy it has never been released on Blu. The aspect ratio issue with the DVD adds to the sting.

[@lasagne23]

the other day I found Son In Law at a thrift store that was brand new sealed, couldn't believe it

[@thelastmoviestanding]

NICE! did you pick it up?

[@tmorganriley]

I love both "McHales Navy" and "Down Periscope", but "Down Periscope" is the greater film. In large part, A.) because of its arrow-straight plot and consistent pacing, which is nice in a weeknight comedy (it was great on TV because no matter when you tuned in, it still worked well), and B.) because it serves as a savvy yet silly parody send-up film for the entire submarine film... "sub-genre", from "Destination Tokyo" to "Crimson Tide". The more sub films you have seen, the funnier it becomes, just because it leans into the tropes and plays them for laughs or subverts them. Wheraes McHales Navy is much more its own idiosyncratic film, a naval equivalent of Sgt Bilko, and a light-hearted spoof of 1980-90s action movies. Good, but on its own terms, rather than in refetence to a genre history.

[@Will-vs6dm]

Stumbled upon your channel already watched all the videos keep it up mate refreshing change your more like the every day collector and similar taste in movies 🎥 MY pick for comedy DVD that needs a Bluray would be National lampoon's loaded weapon

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Thanks man!! I really appreciate the support! & yea Load Weapon definitely needs some love.

[@EddieHenderson92]

I recently met Tom Arnold, told him I was a big fan of Big Bully and McHale's Navy. He was a nice guy and he signed a Big Bully poster for me. Down Periscope is criminally underrated. Another great 90s comedy not mentioned and very hard to find is PCU from 1994. Never released on Blu ray and not streaming anywhere. I got my copy on DVD but it's hard to find a copy of it unless you are willing to overpay.

[@davejones538]

Gotta pick up Deuce Bigalow forgot how funny they was 🤣

[@thelastmoviestanding]

it's so funny!! 😂Classics!

[@ironman-xf6dg]

Should do a movie room tour and talk about your setup for watching movies ie. tv’s and Blu-ray/ dvd players you like the most Thanks!

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I for sure will soon. I'm moving places in a few months & as I re-set everything, im going to be making videos about the process & everything

[@JamesLawner]

I love Encino Man! I havent seen it in years, tho. Also, there was an Archie movie that literally copied the plot of Encino Man; it was called, “The Archies in: Jugman”.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I’ve never heard of that Archie’s movie, I’ll have to look it up

[@MrBlue3rd]

I'd buy blurays of both Duece Bigelow movies in a heartbeat. I wish they'd make a Part 3 and release it on Netflix since Adam Sandler has a production deal with them. My dvd of Duece Bigelow European Gigilo is called "The Assume the Position Edition". 🤣 I think that went out of print pretty quickly.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

ive seen that edition at thrift shops but I think they are the same as the "Special Edition" I have, I do like that edition name way better though hahaha

[@VonUnaussprechlichenKulten]

Oh man I love son in law and carla was right up there on my teenage crush list with marisa in my cousin vinny.

[@mgloco88]

I read Sean Astin's book called "There and back again" and he had a chapter about Encino Man. He hated the movie, did not want to be in it at all plus hated Pauley Shore. The producers gave him a hard time because he was overweight and didn't slim down. His attitude and experience making the movie was so bad that they did not put him in on the poster or VHS cover. I loved Encino Man and was bummed about how much he hated making the movie.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

That's really cool BTS info, I didn't know that. But I did notice he wasn't on the cover which was kinda weird since he's the lead.

[@KirkRedgate]

I’ve had California Man on DVD since forever, definitely deserves a 4K. I recently put Son in Law on DVD in my eBay watchlist because I haven’t seen it in years, might have to grab it for £10. Airheads is another favourite comedy that needs a 4K, I’d even settle for a Blu-ray.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Yea airheads is 1 of the more expensive Blu-ray’s here in the states, hard to find too

[@KirkRedgate]

@thelastmoviestanding Yeah. I remember a time I could get the Blu-ray at a reasonable price on eBay, but I only bought a multiregion player last December. I'm stuck with the DVD until we get another release. This year being the 30th Anniversary, so I was hoping. 🤞🏻

[@thelastmoviestanding]

@@KirkRedgate It's Fox, & Brendon Frazer is having a come back so fingers Crossed Sony re-releases it

[@thelordofhellaz]

[@FoxtailCinematics]

Hate to be that guy but... Sean Astin was Samwise, not Frodo in TLOTR 😂

[@thelastmoviestanding]

LMAO!! damn I did say Froto didn't I 🤣I mixed up Kid & Play too but caught myself in editing haha 🤦‍♂

[@FoxtailCinematics]

@@thelastmoviestanding 😅😅😅 All good.

[@AVAPopCulture]

Encino Man and Son In Law are all timers!! Love them... Lieutenant Lake, you're almost out of uniform... Freaking love down periscope!! Kelesy Grammer is great in it!

[@thelastmoviestanding]

Lieutenant Lake is low key too sexy to be in that role hahahaha

[@AVAPopCulture]

@thelastmoviestanding she's awesome in though and so is Kelsey Grammar...I love when he first meets his crew

[@mikeward5192]

I didn’t even think of a few of these. Loved The Ref! It’s a damn crime these Pauly Shores aren’t on blu. 2 others I’d love to see are National Lampoons Senior Trip and Cheech n Chong’s Nice Dreams. Up in Smoke gets all the spotlight but I like Nice Dreams a lil more tbh, it’s hilarious plus has pee wee Herman sniffing rails lol…..I’m sorry, I’m sorry! lol gotta watch the flik to get that

[@michaelnelson7350]

I own the Pauley Shore catalog on DVD. My favorite is Bio-Dome.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I wish his show Pauly was available.. anywhere. its not even streaming

[@c0wg0d]

I wish 100 Girls got a reprint or a Bluray release.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

yea I would love to see 100 Girls on blu-ray for sure!

[@Riky_Jones]

What is up with Hollywood pictures not releasing stuff on blu ray?

[@duncandonuts5268]

Definitely need What About Bob. Not a comedy, but we also need Shattered Glass. Good movie.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

ive actually never seen What About Bob

[@classiccontroller8868]

You should do a video of movies that came out around the same year that are basically the same. Just like down periscope and móchales navy or Armageddon and Deep Impact

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I'll think about that one.. there's sooo many I don't own lol maybe I could do it about with the ones I own & just talk about the 2nd film 🤔

[@carolynscadern6787]

Following the Rob Schneider films, what about Hot Chick and Animal? I thought Hot Chick was pretty great. Had a younger Anna Faris and Rachel McAdam, and they were so funny.Rob’s films keep getting overlooked for Blu-ray upgrades. Hopefully that will change.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I LOVE Hot Chick! so much I hated Freaky for copying it hahahaha (I need to give Freaky a second chance). Animal is funny but its been soooo long since ive seen it lol

[@tom1959blue]

Grandma's Boy

[@michaelnelson7350]

I believe most of these will get a Blu-Ray or 4K release in the next 2 year's.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I really hope so 🙏🏻

[@thelordofhellaz]

What's frustrating is that there is a 1080 Down Periscope on streaming

[@thelastmoviestanding]

So many films have 1080p versions on streaming. Just release it on physical!!!

[@thelordofhellaz]

@@thelastmoviestanding The amount of detail you can see with the ships and the inside of the sub just blows the DVD version away :-( #releasethebluray

I hope we also get Freddy Got Fingered on something more than DVD, I heard some people say Criterion should release it, and I don't really disagree

[@50TBRD]

Love all these movies. Watched Buying the Cow BTW. Not bad.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

lol Buying the Cow is on another list I have coming soon. Movie is okay but Ryan Reynolds is HILARIOUS in it

[@50TBRD]

His B story is more interesting than Jerry O’Connell’s A story.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

@@50TBRD Ryan Reynolds storyline? oh for sure! 🤣🤣 him thinking he's gay half the movie when he's not is fucking hilarious

[@Winchesteraj]

I found a great movie 1997 Paul Dillion and lot of cast who were unknown n rising stars it was filmed in Chicago it on dvd never got a Blu-ray Chicago cab 🚕. John cusack film Michael Shannon n John c Riley n Julianna Moore n Gillian Anderson.

[@Allerka]

Don't worry, Arrow will eventually release a 4K "Shore Box Set" that has all of his classic movies in it.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

we can dream right! lol I really feel SOMEONE needs to do Encino Man though. Kino, Arrow, Sony... I don't care! let some German company do it & ill import it hahah

[@Allerka]

@@thelastmoviestanding That'd most likely be Turbine. Who is actually, probably, my favorite releasing company right now.

[@SciFiMovieFemmes]

Id like to mention Career opportunities with Jennifer Connelly. It's one of my favorite comedies growing up. I don't think it's on Blu-ray but I could be wrong. I have the DVD 📀 in my collection.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

It is! It’s actually on sale right now (or was a few days ago) I just got it on Blu-ray $12 on Amazon Get it before it goes out of print lol

[@capybara2671]

While enjoy most if not all of these at this point they'd need to come in at a low cost for people to buy them.

[@scottwhitt9379]

Odd how all those Pauly Shore’s didn’t get an upgrade. McHale’s Navy is awful. It was part of this wave 50s TV show remakes. Sgt Bilko, Honeymooners, Car 54 Where Are You, and a couple others that slip my mind.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

McHale's Navy doesn't hold up very well, I will admit lol I don't like most of those films you named but I actually really like Sgt Bilko, I didn't know that was a 50s TV Show.

[@scottwhitt9379]

@@thelastmoviestanding it was known as the Phil Silvers Show. It’s hilarious if you find it on one of the rerun channels.

[@workjobb]

You mention all these mediocre comedies, but omit Johnny Dangerously? Perhaps one of the most underrated comedies of the 80's. Michael Keaton, Joe Piscopo, Danny DeVito, Maureen Stapleton, and many others. Speaking of Joe Piscopo and Danny DeVito, Brian DePalma's Wise Guys has been over looked for far too long.

[@thelastmoviestanding]

I'll be completely honest with you, I've never heard of Johnny Dangerously, I'll see if I can find it thrifting this weekend. The cast seems incredible.

[@ethanedwards7557]

I can’t imagine anyone wanting any of these movies in any format.

My favorite is Weekend at Bernie's part 2 and I don't believe that it's made it to blu ray yet.
