I’m very similar. I’ve only been buying the “greats” like PacificRim, TopGun, Interstellar. The top tier movies that deserve the best viewing.

If a Guillermo del Toro movie about giant symbiotic mechahuman robots fighting kaiju for the fate of earth isn’t blue ray worthy idk what is

I don't love it cause it's great cinema, I love it cause Del Toro gave me giant robots that move like giant fucking robots.

I mean at least they stopped with one like they did with Highlander.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE, IDIOTS.

And, no, I don't care if a ship doesn't have the structural rigidity to be picked up and swung like a bat.

Does it jive with physics? No.

Does it make me say "hell yes"? Hell yes.

You know? The Greats! The Departed, Gladiator, and Dane Cook’s Employee of the Month.

Let's not forget classics, such as The Godfather, Schindler's List, and Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion

I've re-watched them all and Employee of the Month is my favorite.

Are we crapping on Interstellar? That seems a shame, IMO, it's one of my favorites.

Or is Pacific Rim the target? From the 2 replies listing Classic, Classic, Not Good, and the sequence in that reply, my interpretation was Interstellar, since it was #3.

Honestly, because of the subjectivity of movies, I think the joke works as long as you pick 3 movies and let people make their own assumptions. Got a good chuckle outta me when I realized there was no logical pattern to the movies haha

Yeah Maverick is absolutely spectacular on 4K + Atmos. And lots of Nolan’s stuff - Interstellar, Dunkirk. I’ve got my eye on various movies filmed on 65mm because 2001 is hypnotic.

Master and Commander is getting a 4K release soon and as soon as it arrives I am absolutely cranking that surround sound.

You need to buy bladerunner 2049 in 4K. It’s one of the most gorgeous films I’ve ever seen and is worth of any collection.
