Awesome I really didn’t mind having Dogma on VHS but rumor has it the rights were purchased by paramount and a 4k is coming. Maybe not a day one purchase but I’ll pick up the 4k for sure. License to Drive is one I’m always tempted to just get the over priced eBay one or maybe import one but is a 4k around the corner? I’ll begrudgingly wait.

It deserves one yet other films have had multiple 4k releases

Mine too it was a struggle to get and now it’s extremely overpriced on eBay. Something I’ll never part with.

VHS is more than nostalgia.

It is and I’m trying to collect every release and so far the Nova Media version is still my favorite.

Very underrated Carpenter flick one of my favorites.

Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoy.

I’ve imported a few and noticed that, some of the premium Blu-ray’s have that here but not many.

Most 4k movies are completely region free so importing movies from other countries has never been easier. There is aver small hand full of 4k movies that are region locked. The Abyss 4k is region free.

@80sMadeConsumer legend, thank you!!!! Is there a website that you recommend for purchasing from?

@@jb7753 most of the sites I use are for US only, but when I import from other countries the easiest way is through Amazon in that country. I just go to the home page and change the country to the desired one sometimes you have to make a new account order your stuff it’ll tell you if they will ship to your address.

@@80sMadeConsumer Cheers mate, I'l give Amazon a shot. I'm looking to get The Abyss, Leon, and Scicario... I'm going for the twin pack of Scicario. Even though I already have number 2 on 4k, there's a review on it from an Aussie saying it works for him, same with The Abyss..... I have to get The Abyss from the US as Disney is no longer releasing physical media in Australia.

To each their own I know it’s not for everyone but I think it’s fun

Makes sense but it’s like leaving money on the table, I get the focus is streaming but it wasn’t always.

I hope so I know they got the tv stuff.

The worst! I was not a fan of the Fox acquisition just because of that fact. Hopefully Sony sees cranking out these older titles as a cash cow and we get some great stuff.

I haven’t seen Folks but Don Ameche I’m sold. Nothing to lose is a classic I think I have it on VHS bluray would be a nice upgrade.

yeah thats the one I think got blu-ray releases in 3 other countries. I have a region free player but I think I passed hoping a 4k is right around the corner. Not holding my breath.

@@80sMadeConsumer I am in Ireland I think mine came from Australia

Yeah they do! I forgot all about class act

Thanks for reming me one I absolutely love I just checked it has a Blu-ray on amazon right now I'll be ordering it soon.

@@80sMadeConsumer oh nice. I had no idea. I should order it too.

I’m surprised The Village never got one.

I have all of those on VHS except the Village, and I have the Captain Ron DVD upgrades would be nice.

Definitely been released in Australia on Bluray bought my copy years ago

Yeah I think that’s one I’ll be importing the Blu-ray if the price is right. I suspect with its notoriety it would be higher on the list for a 4k but who knows.

Haven’t heard of any of these thanks for the recommendations.

I understand sometimes its rights issues, but we usually hear about that fairly quickly. I fear that less movie fans and more younger people are working in these jobs, unless it's a huge movie so many might get forgotten about. I remember getting lunch a few years ago The Goonies was playing, and this 20 something year old kid asked what the movie was and he wasn't the only one. I figured thats a popular one that everyone would have at least heard of.

You and me both! What are some of your stuck on DVD wants ?

possibly they have been bootlegging lots of stuff recently

@@80sMadeConsumer is it easy to identify to know which is real or fake on a sealed Mavel steelbook?

cool

@@80sMadeConsumer 😄

That I can understand and I have a few foreign movies that never got any releases. I was more talking about the fact that these modern films are getting world wide releases and they are still in theaters at the same time you can buy them digitally causing rampant piracy and the studios don't seem to mind bc streaming is the focus.

@@80sMadeConsumer fair point. I think physical media is going to remain a niche market in the name of convenience.

@@Gixxerfool1 agreed

Thanks, yeah it’s frustrating lately I’ve just been buying VHS and DVDs just to get those forgotten films. I bought a region free player to get imports but certain movies just should have a US release imo. I haven’t seen booty call in years probably why 😂

Great movie I was just watching it this morning, and looked on Blu-ray.com it has a Blu-ray ordered it right away

Hard to find hidden gems are worth their weight in gold.

It’s a crime What about Bob and Son In law have no Blu-ray, I’m hoping for a 4k soon. Arachnophobia has had a Blu-ray for years you can get it on Amazon right now I think it’s on sale too.

@@80sMadeConsumerI believe there’s some legal issue with Richard Dreyfus regarding What About Bob? Hopefully that gets resolved because it’s such a great film.

I hope so too.

Haven’t heard of the Kevin Bacon one I’ll have to keep an eye out, but I swear someone was talking about Airborne not that long ago may it’s getting a release or maybe they were just talking about it I really can’t remember.

@@80sMadeConsumer oh i hope airborne does get a blu release and the kevin bacon movie on dvd is kinda pricey on ebay

Not many sequels are as good as the first but those are some great ones. Some of them could even work as a standalone films. I do like to watch Ghostbusters back to back though can’t watch one with out the other.

Dead Presidents is a great film it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it and that’s probably why. I haven’t bothered with that site I usually just grab the dvd or vhs

That’s one I still have only on VHS! I get the studio not thinking it’s worth putting out but I could see it doing well through Kino Lorber.

I’ll have to track that down both good movies.

What About Bob is a classic I still have the VHS surprised it still hasn’t gotten Blu-ray. Gung Ho is scheduled to get a Blu-ray through Kino Lorber this year. T bone and Weasel looks great can’t go wrong with Gregory Hines or Christoper Lloyd I’ll have to get that VHS but 30 bucks oof 🤦‍♂️

@80sMadeConsumer Sweet. I didn't know about Gung Ho. My favorite Keaton movie. I still have TBone on ld. Really good movie. Somebody finally uploaded a vhs version to yt. Looks terrible but finally someone can see it.

I didn’t notice thanks for letting me know

Good list I don’t have all of them on 4k. I hear good things about Ford v Ferrari, Coming to America is classic

All great movies and I was the same way growing up I’d rather watch a movie than do anything else. I remember getting excited to tell everyone Monday morning what I watched that weekend. Pure luck is something I’ve never seen I think you are the 2nd one to mention it I’ll probably track one down.

@80sMadeConsumer pure luck seems like one of those films that have not been done in recent formats. Touchstone I think it was, Disney can be weird about releases. They are using Sony these days too for the physical. Crazy times, then red box is dead

@@59thSurvivor-of-VHS indeed that touchstone debacle there are so many in their back catalogue that may never see a rerelease. Hopefully Sony sees it as a cash cow and just starts putting everything out.

@80sMadeConsumer People working at Sony would be wise to follow these sorts of conversations lol. I know Hasbro or Magic the Gathering card people are paying attention to bad things said about them lol

@@59thSurvivor-of-VHS I’ve been emailing some of the boutique labels suggesting titles that haven’t gotten released and they respond with thank you we’ll pass it along to the purchasing dept. not sure how far it’ll get us but at least it’s in the atmosphere that could come to fruition.

when George Clinton bust that record over his head classic 😂😂

@@80sMadeConsumer Love that movie! My copies of HParty 1-3 are all made of old WB cardboard yours looked plastic.

They released the early versions of the 1st one on the snapper case and later versions which I have on a thin cheap case i replaced the case with a thicker one.

I agree that’s exactly how I look at it not every movie is for everyone but there is a movie for everyone. I believe that term so bad it’s good is silly because it can’t be bad if it’s entertaining just probably not a film with mass appeal. Can’t tell you how many times I’m told my opinion is wrong 😂 usually sequels don’t get a lot of love anyway which is why I made sure to have enough films on the list that most people can find something they might enjoy. I truly hope you enjoy The Fifth Element it’s not for everyone, Luc Besson said when he showed it in France they complained and said he made it for an American audience and when he showed it in America people got up and left the theater and he understood how French his film was, and glad that it found its audience on home video. Congrats on the OLED, my advice would be to take some time to calibrate the settings, use a movie that you are very familiar with. I had to KZfaq mine there was so many bells and whistles it didn’t look right out of the box and I had to do it again when I switched 4k players.

@@80sMadeConsumer The Greasy Strangler is a perfect candidate for the "So bad it's good" category and you are so right. If it is entertaining, it has done a good job as entertainment. French art is strange, and I am French LOL. Thank you for the pat on the back, it was abnormal for me to spend that much on a TV but I could afford it and thought "why not me?" Samsung S90C 65" for the living room. I will be sure to calibrate with The Hobit or something like that until it feels good.

I'll have to check out the Greasy Strangler. Haha it is strange but I enjoy it. I had to calibrate different modes normally I like most movies on vivid and that works for all my blurays and 90% of the modern 4ks shot digitally but i had to use the cinema mode and calibrate for older movies shot on film. Risky Business looks great in 4k but on Dolby Vision vivid a lot of the time going from one shot to the next in the same scene was jarring because of the waay the movie was Lit and recorded switched to Dolby Vision Dark fixed it instantly.

That was a great deal I would get 3 that I knew I loved and take a chance on 2 usually would turn out to be hidden gems.

I have that list coming soon still doing the research for it, plus what is in my collection already. I’ll be sure to add that one thanks

It has just not in the nicest way haha! I did forget about that one but prefer the standalone releases and then I was informed a few other countries got stand alone Blu-ray’s easily imported from other countries but not every one has a region free player so that’s that. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@80sMadeConsumer anytime!

That’s the reason I got rid of cable around 2016 and started collecting VHS again not only super cheap but they have the trailers for so many I haven’t seen yet. Out cold was really enjoyable something I could see kino putting out.

@@80sMadeConsumer I'm 51 and they way I discovered movies was USA's Up All NIght, which I still have some episodes on VHS

@@boskostoybox I remember being an early teen and staying up for that Rhonda Shear was the highlight of the week!

That one deserves a Blu-ray plus I think they rebooted it not long ago you’d think there’d be enough interest.

I haven’t seen that in years haven’t even found a dvd in a long time.

@@80sMadeConsumer In Spain the only version is the one released more than 20 years ago.

I found 3 on Blu-ray last year and have been looking for the other 2 never thought to check if they had a Blu-ray. Thanks for letting me know I don’t have to look anymore 😂

You rock Broski! Limited prints increased the demand of the older and I always buy up those on VHS at thrifts and huntin', I recently made a short with a sealed Jackass movie on VHS, good condtion I want to get it graded. The cover is great, all of them riding in a giant shopping basket. I remember that was a thing that the Bum Fight Videoes, getting in those and pushing them down stairs while riding, they were doing back in the early 2001 era they were a copy cat of this movie in ways in reality and even were prosocuted for it.
