First DVD I owned was Moulin Rouge. It was the first time I was ever really fascinated with that whole new DVD thing, and I rented a copy of it to watch when I stayed over at my mom's. Then later my dad bought me a DVD player and I had to buy Moulin Rouge because I thought it was amazing that they had so many features and commentaries. Then I discovered that Easter Eggs existed and it blew my mind. I kind of miss feature-packed DVDs and creative menus. Blu-rays now mostly just have footage from the movie playing on the main menu, and then a side menu popping up from the side. With DVDs you would have creative poo poo like the menu being something straight out of the movie. Like Hot Fuzz had the police station as the menu, House of 1000 Corpses had Captain Spaulding's store as the main menu, etc.

The video store near my home town (which is still there to this day but they liquidated their VHS collection) had tons of great poo poo. Sadly I didn't get to their VHS sale in time to get some of the really really good poo poo but off the top of my head they had: Creepers, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, They Live, Dawn of the Dead Extended Cut, Day of the Dead, Videodrome, TerrorVision, Dolls, Psycho I-IV, Nightmare on Elm Street 1-6, Puppet Master (a few of them), Demonic Toys, An American Werewolf in Paris, Scanners, Gothic, Frankenhooker, Child's Play 1-3... and so, so many others. I didn't watch all of the movies I listed, particularly since I was like 12 when I rented from there and I don't think I could've gotten away with watching "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers". I managed to snag a small handful of their tapes when they sold them off. They sold them as they were, with the sun-faded boxes stuffed with styrofoam and the blue clamshell cases.

TheScott2K posted:Seriously how did Watership Down get made It's a really good movie, and I really don't get why people kick up a huge fuss about it every time it's mentioned other than the awful marketing. Like seriously, the marketing is the only "bad" thing about that movie because it shows it as a toddler's movie and it's absolutely not. But any kid over like 7 would be fine watching it.

Iron Crowned posted:Should I revisit Cabin Boy? I remember thinking it sucked when it first came out on VHS, but then again I was also 13 (for some reason I thought it was older than 1994) It pretty much rules, as does Elliot and Resnick's TV show Get a Life, which could also use a blu-ray release but I doubt that'll happen since even the DVD suffered from lack of good surviving footage. Plus the headache of re-re-licensing all of that music.

Scanners is... fine. But Cronenberg's big breakthrough was Videodrome, and pretty much all of his worthwhile movies came out post-Videodrome. I only watched Scanners recently, and all I remember is my anticipation of That Head Exploding Scene. And then the guy's head exploded and I laughed, 'cause I remembered it from literally every gif and video of it and reference to it!

I'd say the problem is that everybody, like you, hadn't been in a Best Buy in years. It's kinda like when I was shocked when Hastings closed down, only to remind myself that I hadn't stepped foot in one in like 5 years and that likely nobody else had either. Amazon's loving ruined everything for everybody, and the worst part about it was that when I went to Hastings' going out of business sale their shelves were stocked with Arrow and Scream Factory blu-rays. I mean, there weren't many left but I didn't even know they had them there. I miss going into stores and browsing for cool poo poo and then buying cool poo poo after reading the back of the box. The only place left near me like that is a Barnes and Noble that has decent Criterion sales constantly. Or they did have, but like any other brick and mortar store I haven't been there in years.

Me, I just like physical media because it actually feels like I own the media contained on it (even though legally blah-blah copyright law I'm just "licensing it"). If I buy a blu ray I don't have to worry about it disappearing due to rights issues or the service going down or my internet going out or whatever. Plus all the little booklets, director's commentaries and documentary features, artwork, etc. That's why I like record collecting too, you get all the artwork and inserts and you own the music physically, you have to select what you want and dedicate yourself to listening to it like you have to pick out and dedicate yourself to watching one blu ray. But yeah, most people don't really give a poo poo about any of that

CopywrightMMXI posted:Bloody Birthday is amazing. It really is. I bought it as a joke when Severin were cleaning out their back catalog, just because I'd seen it reviewed by RedLetterMedia. But then I watched it and was actually surprised by how much I legit liked it. Probably not enough to re-buy it from Arrow though, unless somehow the bonus materials are amazing. Arrow's usually really good about supplementary things, but the Severin release was really barebones and I can't imagine what Arrow could have unearthed that Severin didn't.

CPL593H posted:I'd be content if there were just any single store that still sold movies at all. Best Buy used to be a loving Candyland of movies and now they just have a lovely little corner that's 95% Marvel movies. It's been gone for at least two years now and I still miss Hastings. I went there during their closeout sale and they had a ton of Arrow releases on DVD and blu, and I could tell they would've had even more had they not sold a bunch already. But I was done with physical media for a while, like I'm sure most people still are, and it wasn't until boutique labels really started to take off that I got a renewed interest in it. Then by that time it was too late, and one of the last places you could go to find a ton of physical media was closing up shop for good. There's an FYE like an hour's drive from me, but I might as well just buy stuff online.

I don't know if people mentioned it in the thread back when they were first posted about and I missed it, but those Mill Creek blu-rays with the VHS covers... the VHS art is literally a slipcover over their original release. They didn't even change the insert on the case. poo poo, from the pictures I was expecting it to be like those UK-only releases that actually had special boxes with the outer cover and an inner box that looked like the VHS tape. Should've done my research I guess, oh well. Cool slipcover's better than no slipcover?

Yeah Diabolik is great, it's like a one-stop online shop for drat near every boutique label that releases horror, sci-fi and exploitation movies. I don't know if they have every single release but they have a lot, and you'd save on shipping getting them all from the same retailer.

Even if it's something I'm not terribly interested in, being typically of a lower production budget, there is always some interesting time capsules happening. There really are some gems in the bunch too that for one reason or another slipped through the cracks over the years. Yeah, I blind-bought three VS blu rays recently, and I guess the only one I "regret" is Wacko because it's not just bad, it's a bad comedy. It's from the director of Joysticks (gee, can't imagine why I would've bought that), and the writer of The 'Burbs but holy poo poo is it just depressing to sit through. I mean they got George loving Kennedy and Stella Stevens, and Charles Napier in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role... well, it's not like those are actors who are picky about what parts they'll take but they're good actors and they're featured in this garbage. But I guess it's interesting for beating Scary Movie to the punch by like two decades. And it's equally awful. There's Nothing Out There on the other hand, that movie is delightful. Definitely a top-favorite blind viewing discovery.

Unmature posted:I love that people often say Casino Royale bucks the “product of its time trend” but it has a theme by Chris Cornell, tons of parkour, and an important set piece takes place at a Body Worlds exhibit. The thing is though, you could take that poo poo out of the movie and it'd feel like a movie set in the 60's or 70's. Die Another Day feels like a lovely late-90's movie and there's nothing you could remove that could change that. You'd have to dump literally everything and make a totally different movie.

As much as people love to praise Pierce Brosnan for his Bond (and he was good, don't get me wrong), he was in a single truly "good" James Bond movie and the rest ran from mostly-forgettable to awful. Tomorrow Never Dies was passable, but then TWINE and Die Another Day were just garbage. And speaking of garbage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C5NLfYdZaE e: I actually do like that title track though.
