This release is a 3-disc Blueray collection of the following John Hughes classics: "The Breakfast Club John Hughes wrote and directed this quintessential 1980s high school drama featuring the hottest young stars of the decade. Trapped in a day-long Saturday detention in a prison-like school library are Claire, the princess (Molly Ringwald); Andrew, the jock (Emilio Estevez); John, the criminal (Judd Nelson); Brian, the brain (Anthony Michael Hall); and Allison, the basket case (Ally Sheedy). These five strangers begin the day with nothing in common, each bound to his/her place in the high school caste system. Yet the students bond together when faced with the villainous principal (Paul Gleason), and they realize that they have more in common than they may think. "Sixteen Candles" On the eve of her sister's wedding, suburban teenager Samantha (Molly Ringwald) suffers silently as her family forgets her birthday. Even worse, some total dork (Anthony Michael Hall) keeps propositioning her with sophomoric innuendo when she really craves romantic attention from high-school hunk Jake (Michael Schoeffling). Moving from Samantha's family home as it's invaded by other relatives to a high-school dance where nothing seems to go her way, this bittersweet teen comedy traces the hopes and disappointments of not only Samantha, but also a host of incidental but memorable characters, from a hapless Japanese exchange student to a prom queen and a posse of barely pubescent nerds. A climactic party scene at which these various strata of young America overcome their rigid hierarchies sets the stage for resolutions both tender and torrid. "Weird Science" John Hughes's third directorial effort follows in the tradition of his previous teen-centered films, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. Wannabe hipster Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and his nebbish weak-willed best friend, Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith), are a pair of high-school geeks who are hapless with members of the opposite sex. Using Wyatt's computer, they create what they believe is the ideal woman. A lightning storm brings that woman to life, and she takes the form of Kelly Le Brock. Lisa is her name and she immediately sets about building their self-confidence, but trouble begins brewing when Wyatt's cruel, military-minded older brother, Chet (Bill Paxton), begins to realize that something is not as it should be.
I should have researched this movie better before buying. I could not get past the first 5 minutes of it. The movie quality is great and the DVD arrived in excellent condition. I'm just not into this storyline very much.
This release compiles the first four films in the highly-successful Terminator series - Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Terminator Salvation.
Really liked the movie. John Goodman's character was really hard to figure out whether or not he was bad or good with (psych issues). Maybe it'll become more clear after watching the movie more. Steelbook is great, love the Steelbook cases. Lots of questions still remain after the movie ends, yet several are answered as well. Very entertaining movie.
This is a great movie provided in a great steelbook case. They avoided the politics involved as to Why no help was sent. They also avoided Ambassador Chris Steven's details regarding the many requests for additional security and the details during and after his death. I will not forget these heroes even after the media has long moved on.
The Walt Disney classic space adventure head-trip The Black Hole comes back to DVD, this time not from Anchor Bay, but from Disney DVD themselves. While the disc is nowhere near a special edition, the presentation is still a class act, and there are still a few juicy extras to sink your teeth into. The film itself looks fantastic in all its anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen glory, and the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track does fair justice to both John Barry's score and all of the intense laser-blasting robot action. On the extras front, there's a 16-minute "Through the Black Hole" featurette that includes an interview with matte effects supervisor Harrison Ellenshaw as he talks the viewer through the various old-school effects techniques that the film employed. Being one of the last productions to champion that style of filmmaking, it's a fascinating world that's presented and one that many computer effects artists working today could learn a thing or two from. Also interesting is Ellenshaw's mention of a crazy alternate ending and the admission that even he doesn't know what the robot-worshipping hell sequence really means! For any fans of the film that don't already own it, this is a slim but fine release that, at the very least, will instantly deliver the whacked-out goods whenever you need them.
A sure classic and great addition to any dvd collection. The color and detail really come through when watching using a Blu-ray player and Ultra HD TV. This dvd is NOT Blu-ray, but the player and TV combo give the movie a Blu-ray like color quality.
Great movies for collector's. Wish it were a steelbook. Disks were in perfect condition as was the dvd case. The movies arrive pretty quick even when qualifying for free shipping. Thanks Best Buy!
