Shogun master, can you provide a direct link please?
This is the reason i made this post, to unearth obscurities like this. Did this receive a media release treatment, i am old school in the sense that i actually need to physically own my movies, i don't do the streaming/renting online routine.
Can't really start double dipping on all of them right away, that would be lowkey suicide mode, don't you think?
I mean you saw all the replies, more than what i bargained for.
Adding one i finished watching tonight and it definitely qualifies : The Levelling (2016)
I always appreciate good humor, this would have worked if we were in the early 90s.
That's too bad :( But even the dvd cases, the artwork, the cover etc it's like a mini form of art for me, so even if they end up being unplayable (which is gonna be extremely unfortunate), the sentimental value will still be there!
Yes, i wasn't even aware of that it just happened to randomly stumble upon limited released movies or OOP ones that i have bought years and years ago, when i browse to buy new ones and i see those old ones that are no longer widely available to go for crazy amounts. I am pretty sure if i select a couple of those from my collection and sell them via amazon or ebay i could make some serious cash. But then again, as i wrote before i am not interested in that at all, i am just happy to own them is all.
Good call on One Hour Photo.
Also as a sidenote, there are actually some physical media (DVDs) that their prices have been greatly increased after they went OOP. As an example :
https://www.amazon.com/Begotten-Brian-Salzberg/dp/B0000541WJ/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1511445940&sr=1-1&keywords=begotten
This one goes for almost $300 used and it's not the only one. Believe it or not there is actually a circle of people that spend that much for rare, OOP media.
I see your point, but some people just collect for the sake of collecting, not as an investment or it's irrelevant for them if the value will increase/decrease. Subjectively my collection's worth will still be good even after 50 years, sitting back and admiring the collection sitting on the shelves is more than enough for me. I do realize i might belong to the minority saying that, but that's just how my brain is wired :)
I actually own that, good to know that it qualifies.
I spend a lot on physical media as well, but no regrets, i see it no differently than other people collecting coins or stamps.
Yea it really destroyed me.
I will add one myself if you are compiling a list here :
Hachi: A dog's tale.
Great suggestions so far; keep em coming.
However, different strokes for different folks and movie liking is highly subjective by all means if you have some free time to kill give it a go and be the judge for yourself!
Thanks, added to the list.
"Two sets of wealthy parents meet for dinner to decide what to do about a crime their sons have committed." Sounds great on paper, my type of thing. What you would assume would be the main plotline of the film ends up being merely a subplot and the movie veers into stupidity on which i can't elaborate on as it would ruin the movie on the spoilers department. Having said that, i am almost certain the book that this atrocity was based on has to be vastly superior. Here's the author's take on this :
The author of the book 'The Dinner', Herman Koch, walked away from the European premiere in Berlin on February 10, 2017. He did not wish to stay for the after-party, nor talk to the director, cast members or audience. The reason was that he did not like the movie at all, mostly for the script which he thought had transferred his cynical story into a moral tale. Of the three movies made from his book, "this one is easily the worst", Koch said to Dutch newspaper NRC (Feb 11, 2017). "That after-party would have been rather awkward. What would I have done? Shake hands with everybody and tell them I hated their movie?" Koch disliked the movie's reference to themes like American violence and the stigma of mental illness. "That 'didactical' tone, isn't it killing?", Koch said.
