Looks like a nice start to a 4K collection. I just watched Interstellar the other day. Great combo of movie and presentation.

Plus, I already have some that I was getting just for the Blu-ray included. Like The Killer, Hard Boiled, The Better Tomorrow trilogy, Bullet in the Head, Dogma, Night of the Living Dead (Savini version), The Descent, Hush, Uncle Buck, The Neverending Story, Godzilla Minus One, Bumblebee, Shocker, Born on the 4th of July, Riddick, Galaxy of Terror, Kindergarten Cop, Doomsday, Virtuosity, Love Actually that has an extra that I really wanted, but was not included on the Blu-ray. The Luc Besson collection, Alligator, Thriller: A Cruel Picture, The Ring Collection, High Tension, Green Room, John Wick 4, Serpico, and a few more. Starting out strong, I think anyway.

Even all the foreign 4K/Blu 3D combos I have, which are quite a few.

I have the Sean Connery James Bond set, Wolf of Wall Street steelbook and Perfect Blue arriving Friday. I know Bond should look good, I watched some in 4K when they were on Prime a bit ago.

Try not to get too far behind. During my DVD buying frenzy there are probably close to 100 unwatched DVDs. I vowed not to let that happen when I went 4K.

Re: Your top 5 4K Blu-rays that are reference quality?

Nah, it’s just my current which is like 20 or so, then 30 more. Just trying to catch up. And, I had to get the Nolan collection bc there highly reviewed. But, this will be it for awhile. I might get new releases here and there but not going to triple dip on many. I got ones that show off the system based on all everyone in this threads’ suggestions.

Your unwatched pile is only 20 deep? You have 4500+ titles! I have half that many and my unwatched pile is like 200.

And I know they are not nearly reference quality but I had to get Top Secret, Airplane 1 & 2 bc a. I don’t have them and b. I just love those movies. I know Top Secret didn’t do well, but I’ve always loved it and especially young Kilmer. He was awesome.

no, no 20 in 4K. That’s what I’m focusing on now. As little I’ve seen in 4K on regular cable and streaming the a/v are incredible. Most I’ve seen before and they really are just my favorites. And it’s only about 2,400 now bc I chucked all my dvds. Or rather donated them. Just too hard to get rid on Profiler. I wish I could highlight swaths and delete but I don’t think I can.

The Bond movies look great. Very pleased. I might put the set in my Top 10 but close to Top 5. I love when older movies look almost new.
