I received the Mel Brooks blu ray collection as a Christmas gift. The hardback book that came with it is pretty nice. And I realized that outside of Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, and Robinhood, Mel Brooks has quite a few movies I haven't seen.

Is there a best version of Citizen Kane on bluray? I see there is both a 70th and 75th anniversary editions at least.

This thread is becoming too advanced for me. I looked at the kino lorber sale and recognized maybe 5 of the movies. I dont know where to start with most of these, though I do try a lot of films on criterion channel/sales.

Thanks for the recommendations all. Hope I didn't come off as complaining or anything. I am legit impressed by the film knowledge in this thread, and will definitely look into some of these films.

Are those new steel books supposed to have different content? The current 4k of Vertigo in the set is already quite nice and has some solid extras. Definitely the way to watch older films.

Anyone seen the 4K uhd of Ran? I saw it in theaters a few years ago during its re-release and have been waiting to pick it up. But Amazon has some mixed reviews on the 4K visuals.

Steen71 posted:Uhm... what? I have seen no evidence of this quality control. The LOTR DVDs were fine, the Theatrical BDs were an embarrassment, the Extended Editions were better except Fellowship was ridiculously green, and the UHDs of both LOTR and Hobbit are filtered and sharpened almost as bad as old Universal BDs. Also, have you seen what he did to The Beatles? I watched all of Get Back and thought it looked pretty good overall. There’s some stuff with too much DNR at times perhaps, but most of it looked fine to me. I feel like maybe more of the issues were in first episode where they had poorer lighting in warehouse? I dunno also like 6-7 hours of this so kind of adapt after a while.

For some reason I felt like watching crouching tiger, hidden dragon again and picked up the 4K. Looks really good, a very nice upgrade from last time I saw it. Also just generally a great film. The dialogue comes in a bit quiet though compared to the action scenes, but not sure why.

Escape from New York was already on the 4K Carpenter pack. Is this new release a different scan or something? Or more features?

Egbert Souse posted:Worth noting that StudioCanal owns four Carpenter films worldwide except for the North American rights, so Shout is just licensing the master from them while the film itself from MGM. That just leaves The Fog to be released. Worth noting They Live and Prince of Darkness were also StudioCanal masters, but the North American rights are with Universal instead (SC owns them via Carolco since they were coproductions). Ah ok, looks like I got the studio canal 4K 4 pack last year. But picked it up from Amazon so didn’t realize their were various distributors.

I dunno, other post was right. Hausu is probably crazier than malignant. Or at least at same level. There’s probably some other equally wild films in the collection I’m not thinking of.

I am surprised Malignant doesn’t have a 4K physical release yet. Backwards men need to be shown in maximum clarity.

Is the final cut of apocalypse now the best cut? Or simply what’s available now? I actually have yet to sit down and watch all of apocalypse now, so haven’t kept up with the various versions.

Plus a blu-ray of special features, a blu-ray of Hearts of Darkness documentary, and two blu-rays with all three cuts of the movie. Thanks! Great info, and will def check it out now.

I have two Barnes within 40 minutes that sell movies. The closer one used to have a big movie section with knowledgable staff. I remember one of the guys talked me into getting Chimes at Midnight also while I was picking something else up. Now most of that movie section is replaced by board games. Luckily the farther store still has a solid section with multiple shelves of criterion’s and an expanding Arrow section. But I miss the knowledgable staff.

Thanks. Maybe I’ll hold off on the Fury Road UHD for now. So far I’ve picked up the Back to the future set and the big Lebowski uhd as it’s one of my favorite films but somehow I’ve never owned it. Trying to see what other uhds might be in that $10 range.

The Martian and Last Duel are both solid. I kind of remember body of lies being interesting but don’t remember too much about it. I saw the Getty one in theaters and it was fine but it very memorable.

Anyone know if there is a Solaris (Soderbergh 2002 one) blu ray? Also a search yields some 2018 articles talking about a 4K release but not seeing anything. There seems to be a German blu ray on Amazon at least.

“Archive commentary for Conan the Barbarian by John Milius and Arnold Schwarzenegger” First Conan is a classic and has one of the best musical scores. Second film is less good, though I haven’t watched Destroyer in a while.
