New listing now showing purchase price of $14.99 (using AppleTV app in macOS 10.15.7).

 

I love the humour of the first movie, topped off with Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Angelica Huston and Dan Hedaya. Such a great cast, and an underrated movie, IMO, even if it was a modern remake.

OLIVER! (1968) has now upgraded to Dolby Vision. I should have bought it last week at $4.99, its now $11.99 Duh!. Many people are reporting that this is an excellent transfer. 

 

STRIPES (1981) is still dragging the chain, and will be the last of the Colombia Classics Collection Vol.2 to upgrade.

PARAMOUNT ARCHIVE - MOVIES UNDER $3: A small selection of catalogue films



Just bought ‘Marathon Man’ and ‘Big Night’. I consider Marathon Man a bit of a classic, so couldn’t pass that up. Still only in HD, but hopefully might be upgraded to 4K at some point.

I bought The Spy Who Came in From the Cold from the Paramount archive sale. Definitely considering Marathon Man as well (and Paper Moon). $2.99 is too good a price to skip really.

@ Movieman

 

I see you are  fan. I am a fan.

 

My reasons for IMDb are that when I first joined IMDb (about 2007), Rotten Tomatoes, I thought then, was not really all that good. So now I have a huge rating system built up in IMDb as well as a general Watchlist and personal lists. I also belong to their community forums. My other big reason is that I have a catalogue program, DVDpedia, which uses the IMDb API for data mining and I have also written some UI code for the developer. I am also a forum moderator & program help for the pedia programs.

 

So I was wondering why your preference is for Rotten Tomatoes??

 

😀😷

 

EDIT: spelling





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Not really a fan of either. I am registered at both websites. It just seems that the Rotten Tomatoes scores are the more commonly used around the web.

 

I use RT in this thread just to give people an idea of what other people think of the movie.

In line with the 4K UHD Disc release, MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR has been upgraded to Dolby Vision.

 

The original Mad Max has not been upgraded as its a different distributor in NZ. Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome has also had a 4K UHD release, but is not available on the NZ iTunes site as of this post.
