    I would recommend watching The Last Crusade as soon as you get the chance. It's an amazing movie and my favorite of the series. The father son relationship between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is just awesome

      Honestly, I just personally got burned out on series-based shows, because I spent close to a decade watching nothing but TV shows and different series. I used to be really into them. And during that time, I didn't watch that many movies. Eventually, I got totally sick of dealing with TV series, and flipped back to my love of movies... so that's basically where I'm at right now. But I agree there have some great series out there... I've seen a ton of them, starting back around the time of Lost and 24. Those were the two series that got me into watching more TV/streaming shows. Eventually I may return to some series shows at some point down the line and catch up all the series I've missed since I last stopped watching those type of shows. But for now, movies are what really get me excited. I think I just got burned out on the "never ending" stories... the long story arcs, etc. that went on for multiple seasons. I got to a point where I wanted a more concise, complete experience within a short period of time (i.e. 90 minutes or a couple hours -- vs. a 10-episode or 20-episode series). Bascially, I lost my patience for series. Thanks for watching and commenting, and for the kind words! Really appreciate it!

    In regard to the John Hughes film packs. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is also on 4k. There are a lot of people who complained about the transfer but it is in 4k.
    My favorite nostalgia movies from him would be Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Some Kind of Wonderful and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

    • @TheOriginalFuzz
      @TheOriginalFuzz  5 месяцев назад

      Oh that's right! I do remember Planes Trains coming out on 4K, now that you mention it. I think I just forgot about it since I was focusing on brat pack flicks. But yeah, I heard the transfer wasn't the best (although it may have had more to do with the way the film was made than the transfer itself). Great stuff! Thanks for watching!

    Love most of the flicks you have on your list, Fuzz, you covered many of my all-time 80s favs from Fast TImes to BTTF to Karate Kid to Top Gun and John Hughes. A couple of my all-time favs (and some I know are your's too) didn't make it: Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi, The Terminator, Princess Bride. I also loved movies like St. Elmo's Fire, The Outsiders, Blade Runner, etc, but my list of movies I love from the 80s is probably closer to 100 than 20 so no way to get them all in. Thanks for the great topic and video!

    • @TheOriginalFuzz
      @TheOriginalFuzz  5 месяцев назад +1

      You know, I've never seen The Outsiders, but I've been meaning to check it out... I bought it on blu-ray a few years ago and still haven't gotten around to it. St. Elmo's Fire is another good one.. I remember watching that one quite a bit too back in the day. I deliberately left a few key films off this list (Terminator, Aliens), just because I've talked about them recently as my all-time favorite films. So I was going for a bit of a different vibe with this list. But I agree Terminator and Blade Runner can also deliver on the nostalgia a bit from the era. Thanks for watching and chiming in!

    • @trueCinemaniac
      @trueCinemaniac 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@TheOriginalFuzz Like many/most nostalgia movies, it most likely hits the heart if you saw it at a young/impressionable age. So hope you like The Outsiders if and when you see it, but I love it because I enjoyed it in the 80s. My daughter is 16 now and she counts The Outsiders as her #3 favorite movie of all-time, guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree! Agree with your approach on this list, if you stayed totally to the 80s favs it would be the list of the same movies we all love but best to get a wider mix of movies for the unititiated masses to experience!

    Great list Fuzz. Many of those would be on my personal list, too. One that has a special place in my heart is "Romancing the Stone." The reason being, it was the very first movie that my family watched after buying a VCR. My family lived in a rural area, no cable. We watched snowy network TV via rooftop antenna. Seeing a clear image on the family console TV was like magic to me.

    • @TheOriginalFuzz
      @TheOriginalFuzz  5 месяцев назад +1

      Oh man, I totally forgot about Romancing the Stone! And I even own it lol. But you're right... that's another good one that I remember played a lot on HBO/Showtime in the 80s, and I would often come across it when it was looking for something to watch on cable. Watched it many times.
      Btw that's a great story I can totally relate to. My dad was an engineer, so before we ever got HBO, he built a giant home-made satellite dish and put it up on our roof, figured out where to point it, and we were able to get "The Z Channel" in (which was like a premium movie channel service I think), but it was a very inconsistent, snowy picture if I remember right (because we were getting it for "free" LMAO!!🤣😉).

    I used to think I was Gen X and I'm really Xennial because I'm on the cusp. I think 80s movies mean more to people that are officially gen X because they were teenagers or in their twenties but a lot of these movies were on TV and very popular when I was a teenager as well. Also 80s nostalgia has been a thing for a while.

      @TheOriginalFuzz  5 месяцев назад +1

      I totally know what you mean... I feel like the movies back in the day had a certain magic to them, and every release that I saw in the theater was an experience to be treasured. It seems like we've lost some of that passion for movies collectively as a culture in the modern era. Our perception of motion pictures was different back then. The 80s was just an amazing decade to come of age in. Some of the best movies ever, and some of the best music too. I miss it. Thanks so much for watching, and for the kind words!

      @TheOriginalFuzz  5 месяцев назад

      Hey Daniel thanks for watching and becoming a channel member as well! Really appreciate that. And yeah, I can definitely recommend Real Genius on 4K... the Sony release looks fantastic. The colors look really vibrant and have lots of pop. Very cool restoration. Weird Science is maybe not as good, depending on your perspective. It's really grainy in places, just due to how the film was made. So if you're not a fan of that kind of thing, you may want to pass on the 4K and just go with the previous Arrow blu-ray (they released a blu-ray a few years ago I think... which may be have even been sourced from the same 4K scan, but I'm not certain about that). The only downside of the John Hughes Yearbook collection is that Weird Science is only the theatrical version... doesn't have extended cut with the extra 3 minutes of film. But that may not be a big deal to you (it's not really anything critical, in terms of extra scenes), in which case you may be just fine with the Yearbook collection if you already have it. Anyway thanks again! Super grateful for your support.

And yeah, I miss the "olden days" myself LOL! In fact, that's part of why I got back into collecting so heavily... because of the nostalgia. The 80s and 90s really were awesome decades to grow up in.

I bought it for like $35-$40 or something I think at the time on sale from Amazon (though that was before the prices on physical really started to climb). You would think this would be something they would keep producing, since it's a popular franchise. That would be like taking the Back to the Future set out of print. Just weird.

    That E.T. 4K has notorious issues with black crush in the darker scenes. There was a Target exclusive steelbook that replaced it. You might wish to look into that. Apparently the 1st 4K release (which you are holding) was deemed an inferior transfer by Steven. The image included with the steelbook was therefore a fresh 4K scan, which Spielberg deemed much better.

    • @TheOriginalFuzz

      Notorious issues with black crush? This is the first I'm hearing of it. Not only did I not notice any significant issues myself the one time I watched my copy, but before responding to this, I went back and scanned through quite a few old reviews of both the 35th anniversary edition and the 40th Anniversary edition (including Bill Hunt's reviews of both editions at the Digital Bits -- a source I trust for 4K reviews), and I didn't see one mention of black crush on my edition anywhere in any of the reviews I looked at. In fact, quite the opposite... all I saw was glowing reviews of this film on 4K and positive remarks about the HDR. The Target Steelbook you're referring to is I assume the newer 40th Anniversary edition, but I'm not convinced there's any difference between them based on everything I've read (aside from the special features and the capacity of the disc used). In fact, multiple reviews I've read have all said the 35th and 40th anniversary editions have more or less identical A/V transfers... so it's not clear to me at all that there's ANY significant difference in the visual presentation between the two editions. And this is certainly not the kind of title I would ever double dip for, especially if it's not clear that there's even much of a difference in quality. So I'm happy with my 35th Anniversary edition. It looked great to me when I watched it (although it's probably been a year or two since I watched it). And the packaging is killer to boot!
      If you have a link or something with further information that contradicts everything I've read, I wouldn't mind checking it out. But I couldn't find anything about this notorious black crush in my research so far, nor did I notice anything egregious when I watched my copy. Thanks for watching and weighing in.

    For me...Heathers. Heathers is the best dark comedy ever made. It funny, dark, exciting, and even suspenseful in parts. For anyone who was ever bullied even a little in school, this is a must see. Arrow just announced the 4k and I already preordered it. I have the Arrow Blu-ray but it's region b so I wanted that region free 4k. Other classic must have movies for Gen X are:
    Back to the Future
    A Nightmare on Elm Street 1-4
    Mannequin 1 and 2
    E.T.
    Black Christmas (1974)
    Halloween
    Death Wish (1-5)
    Mr. Majestyk
    Terminator 1 and 2
    Beverly Hills Cop
    Psycho 1 and 2
    The Thing
    Scream (1-3)
    9 to 5
    All the President's Men
    Adventures in Babysitting
    Dirty Dancing
    Gloria (1980 - very underrated movie) Kino has a great release
    Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
    Pretty Women
    Die Hard
    Indiana Jones
    Poltergeist
    Jaws
    They Live
    The People under the Stairs (very underrated and still relevant today)
    Truth or Dare - Madonna (fantastic music documentary. Very 90's, great music and actually very relevant in regards to gay rights today)

I don't have it on blu-ray, but it's a film I've seen many times. That was my first exposure to Christian Slater, and I remember thinking at the time that he was like a mini Jack Nicholson. LMAO! I loved how Slater didn't take any shit from the bullies/jocks LOL! Anyway, great list... a few from the 70s there, but I dig those as well! Thanks for watching and commenting.

      @@chadeldred3539 I have noticed that too... in fact, my son is 14, and even he seems to feel that way. He's taken a bit of an interest in 80s culture, and he's even said to me a couple times "It sounds like the 80s were an amazing time to grow up in." And of course, I totally agree. I miss those days. But he's also said that he doesn't care for the look of some of the movies from that time... that they look "old" to him. But he absolutely loves the music from the 80s. So I guess it just depends on which youth one talks to, and which aspect of 80s culture we're talking about. But it does seem like many people in general hold the 80s era in higher regard now than maybe used to be the case 20 years ago.

    Some great choices Fuzz. Weird Science that brings back memories and I agree the best John Hughes movie of the bunch. Bill Paxton (RIP) was awesome in so many movies! Thumbs up to Wargames, just a fun movie. Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks! I love Karate Kid. The first Back To The Future movie is a classic. In my top twenty of all time along with Raiders of the Lost Ark which you also mentioned. So glad you included Escape From New York in your list. I have seen it so many times. Snake rules! Too bad Escape From LA sucks!

As a side note, I actually like Escape from LA, but I almost treat it more like a satirical cousin. I think it's hilarious... I love how over-the-top it is.

      Yeah I get it lol... probably a little shocking. Honestly, I'd probably have more of an attachment to it now if I'd seen it in the theaters when I was younger (though by the time Last Crusade came out, I was 19, so I was in a very different groove at that age than I was when Raiders first came out). I'm sure I'll like Last Crusade... but I can't imagine ever having the nostalgia for it that I do for Raiders. You know how it goes... films always hit us differently as adults than they do compared to first seeing them in a theater at 10 years old. Raiders I can associate with a certain time in my life (my childhood)... But when Last Crusade came out, I was largely uninterested in Indy by then and more focused on playing rock music in bands LOL! Thanks for watching and weighing in. Really appreciate it!
