Lots of TV shows aren't even in Blu-Ray, nevermind 4K. Star Trek comes to mind (DS9, Voyager), but also the Outer Limits rebook from early 2000's. IT Crowd, Father Ted (although with those the creator got cancelled for some comments he made, but I won't be getting into that) Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, Office UK, Married with Children are also others the list is sadly almost endless...

agree... I want Buffy the Vampire Slayer on 4k but Id take BluRay... I really want Smallville on 4k - it would look amazing! so many others... Friday Night Lights, X-Files...on and on

[@ematuskey]

For technical reasons, some of those effects-heavy shows from the 90's are a pain to remaster into BluRay, let alone 4k. TNG is a perfect example: they had to basically redo every effects shot to release the BR set--and it didn't sell as well as they'd expected, which makes it less likely we'll see any of the others re-released anytime soon.

[@gregoryjenkins8645]

The Big Country and Ben Hur would look good in 4k, too. Both were photographed in color w/70mm Technirama or 65mm Panavision lenses and cameras.

[@Seather17]

The Lethal Weapon movies not being on 4k is the craziest. It seems Tarantino movies may be getting 4ks in release order which sadly puts Hateful Eight last. Does anyone under 30 even know who Pauly Shore is? I got a jury summons for this month and it really made me want to watch Jury Duty.

[@AVAPopCulture]

Lethal Weapon is inexcusable not to have 4ks... under 30s may not know Pauly Shore BUT it is the over 30s who are buying the most physical media anyway lol

[@ChristianPena-ob3ke]

Distributors are a business and want to makeba profit abd not looose money and usually wait for upcoming Anniversary or new Lethal Weapon Film in cinemas to capitalize on the fan interest in the films again to rereleese a new 4k edition with the film the film and original 4 film collection so buyers double dip to buy both. It's nothing new as Spielberg is quoted as saying for years that he waited for several years for the bluray market to mature when the majority of the public owned a bluray or pS3 player so it was worth releasing his films to a mass market rather than a small niche market to generate the maximum profit for studios and distributors. It's just basic economics😂😂😂

Just about the only releases we'll get from the major studios are the ones that would be the most profitable for them (yes, because their purpose is to make $$$). But, how many times are they going to re-re-release the same movies with only a slight variation in packaging and/or special features while ignoring movies with an interest/demand? Some boutiques DO release movies not seen for a while, but usually as limited number of copies. Such a dilemma!

Flight of the Navigator is one I'd like. I never hear anyone mention it, but I still love watching it. Came out in 1986. The UFO spacecraft design and the maneuvers it does are exactly how many pilots today who have been speaking recently at the Congressional hearings have described UFOs that they've seen. This movie was WAY ahead of time. It even has the "tic-tac" shape and drops into the ocean at a high speed, which is exactly what the pilots today have been describing.

@AVAPopCulture It's one of my top 10 favorite movies from my childhood.

And the younger brother suddenly being older than him always stuck with me. Great music in it.

Great topic Chase. First of all, when I was in middle school, Iron Eagle and Red Dawn was probably the two movies I rented all the time in the video store.

I have a feeling it will come in 4K soon, especially if the rumor of a Young Guns 3 is in talks. Third, movies that I want a BD release include Almost Heroes. This is Chris Farley's funniest movie in my opinion. Johnny Dangerously? This movie is hilarious and a 80's staple on HBO. What About Bob? I know this is a Touchstone release so that's why.

18:31 RIGHT!! Chase let us know... will movies remastered from 70 mm look better than movies restored from 35 millimeter?? Yesss Harlem Knights 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Hearing you repeat those classic lines hit home ❤😂😂😂 you better know your movies Chase!!!!

[@AVAPopCulture]

You shot me in Pinky toe lol.... and early in the movie - "So you shot him? How about some ice cream?" lol on the 70mm, I would think since 70mm film has a theoretical max resolution of 18k which is 2 and half to 3x's or so that of 35mm film (depending on the film used, camera, and conditions) that a 70mm film would knock your socks off compressed down to 4k! I think they even had to use a full 4k intermediate for the digital edits...

[@GATURKS]

@AVAPopCulture Well I would love to see it... now i'm gonna have to research if there are any movies that were shot in 70 mm restored to 4k and get one. I believe 2001 was, but I'm not a fan. I know, i know, but I do own Oppenheimer. I'm not sure if that's the same. On a different note 😯 all i know is Gemini Man with its increased 60fps IS FREAKIN UNBELIEVABLE!!! It's the best 4k disk I've EVER seen!!! And you keep quoting classic black films and you gone end up with an honary ticket to the Barber Q and family Reunion 😀🤣😇

[@rural-umbreon7062]

A big movie for me that hasn't gotten a Blu Ray or 4K release is, What About Bob? starring Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfuss, Kathryn Erbe and Julie Hagerty. Probably my favorite Bill Murray movie. The other one that I would like to see would be Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead with Christina Applegate. A group of fans did do an anniversary blu ray for it kind of like what was done for the original theatrical Star Wars trilogy, it's decent and the image quality for the movie is better then the DVD which I also have. They did a remake of the movie and it was released in April of this year and a lot of fans were hoping we would see at least a blu ray release of the original to kind of hype up the remake and/or make a quick buck but sadly nothing.

[@chadhagar3726]

Space camp is such a good movie. What a great list of movies that need 4k's and if they don't have them at least blu ray. Great list of movies. Really enjoyed this one.

[@AVAPopCulture]

Space Camp is so fun and I know it would be amazing in 4k!

[@jefferymetcalf7266]

I got space camp and my science project on blu ray from kino lorber for my wife a few Christmases ago, it was 2022. Gleaming the Cube I have never seen on anything other than dvd since the vhs days; it was one of my favorite movies growing up

[@AVAPopCulture]

Gleaming the Cube is another one I was going to mention and forgot about it! I watched it so much as a kid! It would kill as a Vinegar Syndrome release! Those Kinos of My Science Project and Space Camp are OOP and expensive on the after market now! we need 4ks of those movies!

[@jefferymetcalf7266]

Totally agree with you. I was unaware of the blu rays already being out of print. Keep up the great work, you do great content.

[@jefferymetcalf7266]

I was fortunate enough to get Roadhouse on 4k with the nice case and all the extras from vinegar syndrome; I would be thrilled to death if they did Gleaming the Cube on 4k, it would be amazing

[@AVAPopCulture]

[@LanceThigpen]

I wonder if it has to do with the licensing for original music(especially for Young Guns II) or maybe residuals for vast and crew? Not sure. I lived YG2, Harlem Nights, and Space Camp. I actually went to Space Camp in Huntsville the summer after the Challenger explosion. By the way, The joystick to stabilize the Multiaxis Trainer(the 3 concentric ring machine) does nothing. It was just for the movie.

[@AVAPopCulture]

it is mostly the same actors in YGII so if anything, maybe the music but who knows...We watched Harlem Nights and Space Camps so many times we probably knew them better than the people who made them lol... I remember sitting here in Georgia watching the challenger tragedy on tv with my mom and brother...so sad

[@LanceThigpen]

Indeed.

[@Joseph-i9j1q]

[@nita409]

Good list. I agree with your picks. Young Guns & Lethal Weapon are long overdue. Especially with talks of more sequels. Enemy Mine (1985), Solarbabies (1986) & Alien Nation (1988), would look great on 4K. I would love Son In Law at least on Blu-ray. One I’d love to see even on DVD, is Midnight Edition (1993). That was only released on VHS & Laser Disc. I have a whole bunch of football movies myself. I don’t think I have The Program but Amazon has a DVD for $8. And a Blu-ray of The Mask for $12.

[@AVAPopCulture]

thank you! and yeah, those 2 are GLARING misses in my opinion...Enemy Mine is a great call! That one would look so good in 4k! I must have missed the DVD of the Program on Amazon!

Man I so agree with you on so much. Lethal Weapon movies must have on 4k. These movies and so much more need a Blu-ray or 4K. I can't tell you how many dumbass movies got a Blu-ray or 4K and these movies that deserve it nothing. So disappointing 😔🤬‼️

Son in law is the best. Hard to stream. I want hot chili and meatballs 3 the first movies I watched

[@tomboling2309]

The real reason why are so many movies that are only available on DVD or VHS still to this day. Is either licensing rights or just not enough demand for the film to get a bluray or 4k release. And on top of that the small labels don't want to spend more money & time on a first time catalog titles being released on bluray or 4k. Bc that cost more time & money on remastering the print for a bluray or a 4k release. And that is why we don't see as many first time catalog titles being releases anymore just recycling catalog titles that already been released on bluray but now get a 4k release. And fyi you can get a bluray release of Young guns 2 bc I own it on bluray from Sony & Kino did put out a bluray release of my science project. And iron eagle is owned by Sony & lethal weapon is coming to 4k in 2025 & the mask probably will get a 4k release in 2025 & Harlem nights is on bluray from paramount

[@AVAPopCulture]

eh... demand aint it...movies are selling out of the boutiques at a rapid rate and people are clamoring for 4ks... Licensing isnt an issue for studios - they own their own stuff.... a lot of the boutiques already have 4ks of the blurays that they put out too because that is what they make the blurays from... ..I think they wait to drive up anticipation -create a false scarcity of supply and a further heightened demand but with the studios, it is even ore nefarious - they want to push their streaming services rather than revert back to almost all physical I am afraid...... If Vinegar Syndrome is selling out of some of their titles, the demand for bigger movies is certainly there...

[@tomboling2309]

@AVAPopCulture I am sorry but you are wrong. Bc licensing & the rights issues are holding up alot of catalog titles from being released on on bluray & 4k. And I say this bc I have talked to some small labels & ask them about some catalog titles. Why haven't these catalog titles gotten a bluray or a 4k release. And 80 percent of the time is rights issues with either the movie or the music in the movie. Like for a sample gleaming the cube with christen slater has not gotten bluray release bc of rights issues

Kino Lorber had it for nearly available 2 and half years or so and then vanished. it was first release on blu ray back in 2016 then re-issued in 2020. it may have went out of print either late 2023 or early 2024.
