Jaws I've owned on so many different formats not only because it's a great film but also because it's always one of the standout examples of a film that showcases the upgrade quality of each & every new format. I'm always impressed with how it looks.

This was brilliant. Such a good idea for a series too. Would love to see you do The Thing next.

Given the recent 4K remaster of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, that is one I would like to see reviewed like this.

The CED is one of the most fascinating failed formats of all. If you're curious, there's lots of videos about it. One of the best is from Techmoan, and if you're in for the long haul Technology Connections did a set of videos covering its complete history and how it's tied to the downfall of RCA. So glad to see it on this list because CED releases are usually forgotten!

This was a great idea whoever suggested this. I'd like to see you do classics like Frankenstein, Psycho, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz and Halloween. Great video, Jeff.

This is a great idea. I have a few suggestions. The Shining, Willy Wonka, Star Wars trilogy, or Halloween.

John Carpenter's The Thing would be an interesting one. There are versions with different music due to licensing issues. Also, that's how The Thing was able to become the cult success story that it has become.

I remember renting that Widescreen VHS from my library. That edition is what made me hip to how widescreen worked and I had watched the movie countless times on full screen by that point so it was jaw dropping.

I feel deep dives in other Spielberg movies and Kubrick films would be super fascinating. Love this idea!

Great video! I'm always interested by Terminator 2 on home video. It has releases on a lot of odd formats, like HD Laser Disc, VCD and that digital copy you got to play on your PC. There is also the controversy around DNR (going back a long time) and the changes made recently.

Jaws is as close to a perfect film as I can think of.

Wizard of Oz probably has a loooong history of releases you could cover like this. Really enjoyed this feature, a very interesting look

I was born in 1978. Sometime in the mid 1980s, my family taped on vhs an ABC TV broadcast of Jaws. That tape had a version of the movie ive never seen since. They edited-in many of the deleted scenes we later got on dvd, bluray and now 4k. It was great. More Quint, more of the initial conversation between Brody and the summer dink who lost his girl to the shark in the opening scene. It was a longer cut. Much like the Godfather Saga which took place in sequential order with deleted scenes added in. I wish i still had it.

I first watch this movie when I was nine and spending a summer in Hawaii. Lol. I was a little freaked out by the ocean after that.

Hey great Video Jeff! This brought back memories big time. My dad in the 70’s worked for DiscoVision before he worked as an engineer for Pioneer, and I used to sneak a peak at some of the Laserdiscs he collected while he was at work, such as Alien, Smokey and the Bandit, some behind the scenes footage of the TV series Star Trek(bootlegged) to name a few, however, Jaws was the only disc he let me watch as a kid. Jaws to this day is one of my top 5 favorite films.

I love this idea. Do more!

I used to have a laserdisc machine, I had quite a few movies. I had all the Back to the future movies and the Batman movies. Back to the future 3 was a two disc with three sides, Back to the future 1 & 2 was a single disc with two sides. I sold them when I bought a DVD machine in 1997.

Jeff, absolutely GREAT video. The type of deep dive into a movie’s physical media release history that collectors like me love to see. Keep up the great work.

Laser disc were so cool back in the day, the artwork on a lot of them are worth collecting alone.

In the event someone would have a "medical event", I remembered fire trucks stationed outside the theaters when this movie was first released. It was 5 years before I would swim in a natural body of water again; I needed 4 walls and chlorination at all times I slapped on swim trunks.

*I really hope they release Jaws 2 on 4K. it's a great sequel*

I began collecting LD's somewhat near the end of it's desirability. A market that appealed only to a small percentage of home theater enthusiasts . I purchased my last LD (Dances With Wolves Limited Collectors Edition) in 1997. However I never did get JAWS. DVD technology was about to hit the consumer market and I was excited as hell. Now so many years later, home theater systems are extremely popular and I believe that it'll never loose interest in the consumer market. I'm fairly new to the 4K market and my modest collection of 4K movies is slowly beginning to increase; yes, I do have JAWS and I love it. I saw it in the movie theater. I was just 7 years old. Because of 4K technology, I decided to purchase an entire home theater system to replace my dated one. I spent a lot of $$ but it was well spent. The 4K player I got was the UB9000.

Bravo Jeff on the new series - catching AVGN vibes with the 'old tech'

My teacher in middle school had a laserdisc player and had movies like Jaws and some Disney movies because they were go back or skip a scene.

I rewatched this video like 2 months ago and now I have 300 movies on laserdisc and two laserdisc players. Jaws looks awesome on disc from 1978! Crazy that it existed so long ago

I know there probably a million videos on this film, but Star Wars (1977) would be a good one to talk about.

Please keep on doing this! I love film history

man i love the 4k Jaws package with the booklet , when you watch it its so amazing how it looks .

This is my favourite film of all time and my first 4k purchase for my collection no matter how many times I never get sick if it 👍

I can’t wait til you cover Morbius! Great video man. It’s content like this and the 4K restoration that really make you stand out way above the other 4K reviewers on here.

Great idea! Nice video,but please consider including a history of the film’s aspect ratio on physical media as well. For a film like Jaws, moving from 4:3 to 2.35:1 was highly significant. Thanks!

I ❤️ this video.I ❤️ to learn about the history of releases of home video releases. I remember Beta,CED,& Laser Disc when they were new when I was a Kid.Movies to purchase back then we’re expensive! Thanks again for this fantastic video!

Interesting video-if you do another, it’s gotta be the original “STAR WARS”

I'd love to see one on Star Wars, I know thats had an interesting format release life

Good episode. Good the Bad and ugly has a storied history of releases.

Thanks, Jeff. You've covered all the releases well. I also find it interesting that the now defunct format, HD DVD, didn't get around to putting out their own release of Jaws before going belly up.

The art of Chrissie swimming stark naked with the shark looking up

This was absolutely AWESOME and super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Bravo!

Fantastic video!! I will 100% watch every video you make in this physical media history series!

LOVE this kind of content!!

Ive been waiting for a long time for this type of episodes. Thank you very muck . Im very excited about the format history of films

This is a brilliant addition to your channel. Seeing all the different releases and hearing all the release info is what is physical media collectors love to hear. You should definitely make this series a regular on the channel

Best film of all time.

I still have my laserdisc player and many, many movies (which now adorn the walls of my home theater's "lobby").

What a terrific video. Thank you for this, it’s certainly provided me with a shopping list of Jaws things to add to the collection

I had Jaws on VHS,Discovision laserdisc,letterbox laserdisc,numerous DVD sets,and blu-ray,with UHD coming soon. As for CED,I never knew anyone who owned it.I saw a demo at a store,and it kept skipping and freezing.

I have - and still watch to this day - the DTS Anniversary Edition DVD, and it looks and sounds fine to me.

I remember when star wars wouldnt come out on dvd for a while. So i bought a used laserdisc player and the definitive laserdisc trilogy. It was awesome

Great video, watched Jaws tonight on 4K followed by the documentary, absolute classic film with a classic backstory!

Ironically, CED is the one I most remember of the disc formats. We were VHS at home, but the Video Station next to my dad’s barber shop had a bunch of movies on CED. The cover of “Escape from Alcatraz” still stands out to me

Love this format, please do more!

I love this idea - I've got most of these versions and i've kept them all

I remember that 2012 release on blu-ray. I didn't pre-order it cause I didn't think anyone cared about Jaws as much as I did. I was wrong. I had to drive two hours to a Best Buy in a small town in Michigan who were holding the collector edition with the book included. I learned my lesson with pre-ordering and the day the 4k collector edition was announced, I pre-ordered it within minutes.

I absolutely love this idea Jeff !!! thank you so much. I’m a fellow New Englander (I’ve lived my whole life in Rhode Island), and like yourself, Jaws is one of my favorite films. I both loved to see a focus on the film, but the history of home media for the film. I am older (52) , and honestly, never knew there were this many types of home media on Jaws (despite being an avid movie collector, and owning not only many films, but having had a few versions of this film.) My parents took me to see Jaws at the drive in, back in the 70’s, in it’s initial run….. this along with Boston MA based UHF signal channel 56’s “Creature Double Feature”, helped to fuel my love of both horror , sci fi and suspense films (in a historical sense) and a love of 70’s cinema. It is great to see a focus on individual films, and any part of their history (even a release of home media formats.) I have subscribed to you, from watching Heath , at Cereal at Midnight (Heath’s show has been my “gateway” to so many excellent film fans-turned educators)…. You, Heath, Mixed Media report, Daiske Beppu and Vanessa Buttino have become my “go to” teams for film history, new releases, and with yourself, even tech sugggestions. Thank you so much and keep up the super work. Could you consider reviewing next: Star Wars, The Exorcist, Phantasm, and Salem’s Lot ? Quick question: being a Jaws fan, can you answer me a question: do you have any idea if there were alternate edits of the film, from the 70’s, that no longer exist ? either an 80’s tv edit, or 70’s only edit, that had additional scenes…..even minues or seconds of extra footage. I seem to remember an extended version of the “Estuary attack” sequence, where a young Mike Brody was seen from a different camera angle, next to the shark, and with the adult, spewing blood from his mouth as he was dragged under the water. I could swear this was from a theatrical edit I saw in the RI, at the drive in….. it’s a version I have only seen once, and I’ve never read anything about it being used. The only mention of it, is that Steven Spielberg attempted to film this, and it landed on the cutting room floor. I am almost positive I remember this from the 70’s when I was a little kid. Might alternate edits / versions of movies be another angle for you (or others ) to attempt ? I’ve viewed the Halloween home media history too….. AWESOME !!!! Thanks and keep up the superb work ! Best, Chris Mosca Johnston, Rhode Island

that's a great idea for a series. As a long time movie collector, old enough to have known VHS, I love it. Keep them coming.

The first Star Wars ! 👍

This is a really interesting type of video, would love to see more on classic movies!

I loved this video please make more of these

My all time favorite movie. It was the first one I ever rented and owed, it was on beta. Later I got it again on VHS, and I also had one on tape but it was in widescreen, then DVD and now I have it on blue ray it does look great, it's good enough for me.

Great video - many thanks !!

What a fantastic idea for a series. This video went by in like a minute. I can't wait for the next ones :D

Great look at the history of Jaws on physical media very very interesting !

What a splendid idea for a segment!

Awesome job - thanks!

Awesome idea for a series, and what a fantastic film to start with! Excited to see what you do next.

Love Jaws and looking forward to more videos like this. Well done

Keep these coming! This is a great idea.

I like this serie, keep them coming!

Well done. I fully enjoyed this. Please make more of these.

This is a great idea. Your going to get a lot more movie fans to the channel with this series!

This was so interesting.I was a kid when Laser Disc,CED & when the VHS & Beta war was going on.I hope u do more of these.I love these “History Lessons”You & Your Family Have a Merry Christmas!

Yeah, this is a great series idea! Super entertaining. Wouldn’t mind hearing a Wizard of Oz history - one of my fave 4Ks so far. Gonna have to pick up Jaws, I’ve been putting it off long enough!

Great video and great history on this release. Thanks for sharing!

I love this format. Would love to see one of these for Batman 1989, or (of course) Star Wars / A New Hope.

I love this as a series idea, super interesting. Please make more!

This was super informative, looking forward to seeing which movie you cover next!

Great video as usual, keep them coming

Loved the video! Would have liked to have heard more about when the Letterbox editions first showed up. For the longest time, pan-and-scan was the norm for TV and Video releases, and the average consumer argued against Letterbox because they thought the black bars were cutting the top and the bottom off of the picture. As late as 2000, the used record store that I worked at in the L.A. area was still selling used Laserdisc because it was the only format that you could get the letterboxed edition for many great films. Also, the release history of Close Encounter of the Third Kind would be cool, as the terribly-thought-out Special Edition was the only one that you could get your hands on for a very long time.

Great Video! I'm going to have to watch my 4k copy one of these evenings.

This was a great video. Really well put together.

Love this video

Hey that was my suggestion! thanks for doing this! This was a really great video and I look forward to seeing more.

Love to hear about the 1978 Halloween on home media format. I know there's alot from that that fans might enjoy

Glad to see that DIscoVIsion Jaws I sent you got some headline Love :)

I still have my Jaws: Signiture Edition laserdisc set I bought when it came out. I wish I had more space to put it on display in my home somewhere.

I love the work of Peter Benchley. Not just Jaws but books about squids, crocodiles, etc.

As a fellow New Englander and Jaws fan. This was one of your best videos Jeff. Nice work

Definitely keep doing these. Awesome info. Great work brother. 😎💯

Great Idea!

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen jaws. I definitely need to catch it again! 🦈

This is a awesome idea!! Please make more

I love this idea. Keep it up!

Fantastic video. What a great idea for a new series. I look forward to more of these. Keep up the great work!

I saw a guy on KZfaq a while back who did this with ‘THE THING’ and it was so informative. Love these style of videos.

love the video history I’d like to see more

I would love to see more videos in this format from you!

Looking forward to more episodes in the series!

Great new series! Would love to see more such episodes

I’d love to hear about a Godfather release retrospective on physical media
