I recently watched “Looking For Mr. Goodbar” man this has to be one of the best first time watches for me this year. Not sure if you picked that one up. But would like to see your thoughts on the film and restoration. I thought it looked great. There is a replacement disc being issued for the Dolby Vision issue but that’s it.
The changing aspect thing for Galaxy quest... I think the 1st aspect is because it's an old TV show that aired in 4x9. After that, it opens to the 2nd aspect, bringing the cast into the modern day. The 3rd aspect opens when Jason realizes what is happening and that there is SO MMUCH more to reality than he ever imagined. I'm guessing that's what it is. That's what I got from it.
It’s great to hear the technical challenges a film studios face when converting movies to 4k. As customers we often overlook it and do not appreciate the effort. It is challenging work to restore a movie.
Hey! Forgotten that The Thing has to be number one on every list? Even best RomCom… ok. Joking! Great list. I have not seen many but own all but three. So I have to catch up. Looking 🎉 to the full year list! Cheers!
Great list! My ordering would be a little different, but I think my only real discrepancies would be caused by releases I haven’t been able to check out yet.
@ahaubert80 thanks man! I am going to re-evaluate them all before the final list of the year once I get a few more in my hands so there may be some shifting in the final yearly rankings- especially when those from the first half of the year join the fray
Out of all of those I'd have to get the first Nightmare on Elm Street on 4k. I remember you showing it and those dark blue dream scenes were wonderful 👍. Thanks Chase.
@LanceThigpen honestly I had never really paid it that close of attention that it indicated freddy coming in dreams until this 4k and then I realized it was only happening at that time
Loved The Keep. Only thing keeping it from being high on my list would be the audio. I know they didn't have good source material and they could only do so much with it. But it had some shortcomings. I do agree that it shouldn't look that good considering it being a low budget horror movie. Very impressive.
Just to keep your targets up to date, I sent “The Big Chill”, “Scanners” and “My Own Private Idaho” from your list. So you can remove them from your Criterion list. I was surprised by some of your choices. Your love of film as art shows through! That last target i sent you is HEAVY! Merry Christmas!
@LanceThigpen damn my friend you are too kind!!! That is an excellent trio of films!!! I am very excited to have those in my collection!!! I really do love all kinds of movies for different reasons and appreciate them in different ways! I am looking forward to starting my "Chase's Criterion Closet Critiques" where I watch, rank, and review the Criterion closet picks from some of my favorite episodes (maybe Gina Gershon, John Waters, etc) ...that will push us into some new film discussions here and get me to watch some others I love and find some new films outside of my comfort zone!
Totally agree about the Friday the 13th remake. I love it. Congo, I am happy to have as well. Demolition Man is not being delivered till after Christmas
Man, RUclips subscriptions and the algorithm is really useless sometimes! I haven’t seen a video from you Chase in weeks! I thought maybe you had taken a break from making videos looks like I have a ton to catch up on! I’m leaving this comment at the beginning of the video just to let you know that I will make another comment when I finish your lists.
that is so crazy man! I have actually heard similar things from others...I guess that is why everyone says to remember to "ring the bell" so you're always notified about new videos whether RUclips algorithm likes it or not lol
@ It really is! Your bell is on which is what’s even crazier! I have no idea, man. I’m into your top 5 now so I’ll be commenting again in a few minutes.
I didn't think that highly of Galaxy Quest. It does blow away the old DVD. So great upgrade. For for 4K standards, Paramount dropped the ball. It was a weak outing for them.
@@AVAPopCultureI can’t speak on the transfer for this but I will say paramount transfer ain’t as good as other studios. Ghost for example. Either way I just enjoy the movie and don’t focus too much on the transfer.
@@AVAPopCulture It didn't have the crispness that you come to expect from 4K IMO. Paramount is hit and miss with their 4Ks. I just think we are spoiled by other titles out there and expect everything to look like that. I'm not saying it was bad. Just expected more. But again miles ahead of the crappy DVD I've had for years. LOL. The audio track made up for it though.
Okay i’ve seen your entire list now and unfortunately, the only one on here that I can agree with because of how limited I’ve actually been able to spend this year on buying actual titles because my entire budget this year pretty much went to my set up upgrade instead; so I actually only got 2 4K’s for Christmas is Galaxy Quest. Never give up, never surrender! Like you said and absolutely fantastic transfer and the film is just so freaking funny. Love that movie! The reason I only got one other is because that one other was The Neverending Story! It’s the most I’ve ever asked to be or spent myself on a single film not counting like complete TV series or franchises or things like that but good God almighty is it worth it! I have such an emotional attachment to the movie anyway so it was a no-brainer for me when I heard it was coming out, but I thought the price was gonna make it impossible until hopefully it came out in a more standard release but then my mom agreed to have it be my entire Christmas if that’s what I wanted and I said yes in a nanosecond! Taking my personal feelings toward the movie out of the equation the transfer is just stunning! It looks like it just came out today in cinema and it really truly highlights just how bad that other Blu-ray transfer was! I have no idea what source that came from but it clearly was not the original negative because my goodness does it still hold up well and it looks just breathtaking! I can’t recommend it enough if you can get it!

@@hotguy1269 yeah it is is great one!! And thank you
Great list chase btw i want to wish you a happy holidays. Before christmas gets here. I cant believe how fast this year has gone
@tshoffie9614 thanks my friend! Merry Christmas to you and yours! It all goes too fast
Great list Chase, you could probably have your top 10 in any order without any arguments... they're all fantastic releases
@davek3373 yeah I feel like depending on when I watch them and what Ia looking at specifically, it is splitting hairs
I recently watched “Looking For Mr. Goodbar” man this has to be one of the best first time watches for me this year. Not sure if you picked that one up. But would like to see your thoughts on the film and restoration. I thought it looked great. There is a replacement disc being issued for the Dolby Vision issue but that’s it.
Great list! Quite a few I do not have yet and will pick up eventually.

it is very challenging and a labor of love for a lot of the people that do it so, I dont mind reminding everyone of that sometimes ;)
Hey! Forgotten that The Thing has to be number one on every list? Even best RomCom… ok. Joking!
Great list. I have not seen many but own all but three. So I have to catch up.
Looking 🎉 to the full year list!
Cheers!
Lol I do love The Thing but it can't make every list even if it is obviously a great rom com 😂😂😂😂 jk...
I'm working on that full year list!
Great list! My ordering would be a little different, but I think my only real discrepancies would be caused by releases I haven’t been able to check out yet.
@ahaubert80 thanks man! I am going to re-evaluate them all before the final list of the year once I get a few more in my hands so there may be some shifting in the final yearly rankings- especially when those from the first half of the year join the fray

yeah those scenes really popped! that is a release that is a must own!
So happy with that transfer, though I had not noticed that the blue scenes indicate dreams as you noted on your first review of it.
@LanceThigpen honestly I had never really paid it that close of attention that it indicated freddy coming in dreams until this 4k and then I realized it was only happening at that time

Nice, ToT and TrT made the list! 🎃🎸🔥
@whysoblutube those 2 are absolutely incredible 4ks
So you can see the Bush from several angles, HUHHHH...
😆 🤣 😂 😹
I have Caligula fro Drafthouse. Could not see paying that much for Umbrella version. I haven't watched yet.
@@screamingeekmedia it is kind of overkill but absolutely incredible
I agree. And, as Chase said, the new cut really is quite good.
@@LanceThigpen Hoping to watch next weekend. Have grandkids at moment. Don't think it would go over well to watch it now. LOL
