Probably the best film of 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
To buy this film on any format other than Blu-Ray is blasphemous. It's a beautifully, hypnotically filmed picture and requires HD to truly appreciate. Under the Skin stays with you long after the credits roll.

Road House has received a fun special edition via this DVD from MGM. This disc comes up aces in the transfer department: the video transfer offers a sharp, anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer with strong levels of detail and color while the audio track uses the film's original Dolby Surround stereo mix, which delivers all the sonic details with plenty of clarity and punch. This disc also offers a hefty collection of extras. First up is a pair of commentary tracks. The first features director Rowdy Herrington, who gives the film a nuts-and-bolts dissection from a directorial standpoint. It suffers from periodic gaps of silence but still offers plenty of worthwhile information for the fans. Also included is a commentary by Road House fans, director Kevin Smith and his producing partner Scott Mosier. They offer a sometimes witty, sometimes raunchy string of comments on the flick that are likely to appeal to the camp-minded audience that has grown around Road House. There is also a humor-minded trivia track that offers random non-film factoids and plenty of riffing on the film. However, the most satisfying extras on the disc are a pair of featurettes: the first is a retrospective interview with cast and crew that discusses all aspects of the film and the second is a piece that features several real-life bouncers discussing their views on the film and the character of Dalton. Both offer plenty of amusing insights at a fast clip and are well worth the time for the fan. The only flaws in the extras department are the lack of a theatrical trailer and the fact that they didn't bring Patrick Swayze in for a commentary. That said, Road House: Deluxe Edition is likely to make the film's fans happy.

Incredible. Just incredible.

I had wanted this on blu ray, but the dvd has all the special features! The picture and sound are very good for a dvd. In fact, the dvd's slightly more rugged visuals seem to fit the film quite well.

A true feel-bad movie.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a fine release of a relentlessly depressing movie. It's a movie that tries to impose some humor into some intense family cruelty (and largely fails). Good to great performances all around and the picture quality on the disc is very nice.

One of the great music documentaries

Martin Scorsese's film is amazing on Blu-ray. The PQ is incredible and, most importantly, the sound is perfect. This is a must-own film given the best possible treatment.

Is it a great satire or "so bad it's good?"

This movie is baffling. I can't decide if it's terrible or incredible (it's both). The Blu-ray looks fantastic. The sound is great. It's a cult classic treated very well.

Two awesome kaiju flicks!

These are two of the better late Godzilla films. The crazy monster mayhem looks great on Blu-ray. The price is even better.

These aren't the best films in the Godzilla oeuvre, but they're still fun. The PQ is pretty good and the sound is solid. It's nice to get a pair of monster movies in high definition for a good price.

Another Great Film From Wes Anderson

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you like Wes Anderson, this movie is for you. If you don't, then run away. The Grand Budapest Hotel is one of the more Anderson-ian films in his catalog. The Blu-ray picture quality is stunning, the extra features are pretty good, and the sound is flawless.

A Classic!

One of the great noir films and it looks amazing on Blu-ray! While this film can be seen for free on various sites, nothing compares this high definition release. Do yourself a favor and add The Big Combo to your collection.

A Blessing on Blu-ray
on June 14, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
The video quality is fantastic. There's been some debate over aspect ratios and I would've preferred a disc with both widescreen and academy ratios. Regardless, it's a must-own disc for any classic cinema and/or western fan.
