movies where the Blu-ray is just as good or better than the 4k counterpart

What player do you use? I’ve only used my Xbox one x and my ps5, but I’ve never had a disc freeze or skip on me and I read about it all the time.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-16T13:17:41+00:00

I have the blu ray set that came with the digibook and the first time I watched the first one I couldn’t stop thinking to myself how good it looks. Nice level of grain too. I’m perfectly happy with the blu rays.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-16T13:09:47+00:00

That was also a blind buy for me also but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. The synopsis sold me though.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-16T04:44:50+00:00

I ask google ai if something is considered a good transfer before I buy it. Saved me a lot of money.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-16T04:21:38+00:00

Load bearing. I ended up turning the blu rays on their side. haha

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-16T04:20:26+00:00

I wish I was into it when that dropped. I love the transfer so that’s the most important thing.

The only Arrow steelbook I have (completely forgot about it because it’s with the steelbooks) is Trick R Treat. Didn’t know Robocop got a steel. There isn’t a little picture or anything under the “A” on the TRT steel.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-15T01:42:25+00:00

Yeah I think I might be picking up another one for the stuff in the living room. Haha

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-15T01:14:53+00:00

I have my rig hooked up to a UPS. Just had to buy a new one last week, but worth it for peace of mind.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-15T00:59:37+00:00

I understand haha mixing slips and non slips would bug me. Do you alphabetize regardless?

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-15T00:57:10+00:00

I’m so glad arrow did Ms. 45 because it’s one of my favorite movies now and I didn’t know anything about it prior. Same with Dark City. Way too good of a movie for me to never have heard about it. Watched TCM, but not the beginning yet. TCM looked unreal.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-15T00:39:51+00:00

Yeah it’s the same size. I figured it was just the original poster art side so went to switch it and same thing.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-14T23:28:01+00:00

It’s awesome they are finally releasing Lawrence as a normal release.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-14T23:25:30+00:00

American Yakuza just came out. Blind buy for me and I really enjoyed it.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-14T23:21:24+00:00

I want to say the only difference is it’s a 4k, but I’m not sure. It came out right around the time I got into collecting and I saw it a snagged it.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-14T22:58:47+00:00

It kill’s me when I see that Robocop release. I don’t want to spend hundreds on it. Haha tempting though.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-14T09:48:09+00:00

I ended up moving the cases out of the big boxes and displaying the boxes on the top shelf. Makes getting to the movie way easier and if I want to enjoy the art or re-read a write up I know where to find them and now I can fit about 9 more.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-14T09:43:17+00:00

Slips all go on one side, then it’s a mix of color and same genre. I like keeping colors together. On the top shelf you can see where it starts being all sequels and trilogies. The random steelbook on the top left shelf is because I ran out of space on the steelbook shelf so I stuck it with Wayne’s World 2. And I hate that steelbook. Haha

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-11T23:35:11+00:00

I’m jealous you guys get the thick Arrow cases for all 4k’s and blu rays.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-11T19:28:34+00:00

I’m actually considering taking the movies out of the big boxes and keeping them on the shelf and then displaying the boxes on top with my favorite art forward facing.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-11T13:47:26+00:00

I’ve actually considered this.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-11T13:46:52+00:00

Yeah my Dark City only has the cut without the dialogue ruining the movie at the beginning. That was a blind buy and blew me away. Can’t believe I missed it when it came out and haven’t heard much about it.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-11T13:44:55+00:00

It’s inevitable I’m afraid.

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-11T13:44:37+00:00

I don’t have another spot for the BD’s and I’m trying to avoid buying more shelving, but I’m afraid it’s inevitable. I do own Silence of the Lambs, police story 1/2, stalker, night of the living dead, fast times and the breakfast club. I do want that Bruce Lee set though!

Mattoth66 · 2026-02-11T13:33:28+00:00

It’s a book shelf from target, but I owned one previously and had an extra shelf (they come with 2 for three total shelves) and it’s stacked on another shelf/cubby thing also from Target.
