15 Essential 1980s Movies on 4k UHD Blu-ray 

Agreed!

Its so good, normally I wait till around thanksgiving to watch it but getting prepared for this video I sat and watched the whole thing.

@@80sMadeConsumer it gets me every time it is on or if I ever put it in, Im gonna watch it lol... Trading Places is another all-time favorite for me that I watch every year a few time after Thanksgiving -another sneaky Christmas movie -I agree on First Blood, I watch it and Lethal Weapon along with Dies Hard during the Christmas season lol

@@AVAPopCulture Right on I never understood the argument that those movies aren’t Christmas movies, those same people usually say horror is for October too. The focus isn’t Christmas sure but it’s the time when the movie takes place most of them have snow or winter jackets. Hard to watch some of them in the summer with AC blasting

Thanks for watching, I haven’t upgraded Wizard of Oz yet but I suspect it’ll look amazing. I like Susperia enough it was a blind buy for me good looking picture.

@@80sMadeConsumer love suspiria I do 😍🎥👍🏻

Nice 4k can be great! You’ll get the best and most noticeable picture out of a good 4k shot on film, not all restorations are the same some are better than others but The Shinning looks amazing. I always choose the 4k if I don’t have it already but newer films shot digitally look great on Blu-ray sometimes the small upscale in picture isn’t noticeable and plenty of times I was happy to keep my Blu-ray.

Agreed I was originally going to do 10 but after rewatching Predator and First Blood had to do 15. realistically I could have done 25 easily

Thanks can’t go wrong with some 80s classics. There have been a few Goonies 4k Steelbooks most are sold out and on Ebay more on the pricey side, but I think The Titans of Cult steelbook has the best artwork. I bet you can find one on Amazon.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll work on that.

Thanks and it really was, sure there is a bit of nostalgia but more people that didn’t grow up with it seems to be more into the 80s than kids that weren’t from the 70s. Other than Jaws and Star Wars I can’t remember anyone talking about that era until I was much older. What movie would you add to the list if any?

100% Ghostbusters 2 is a must own I was just trying to give newer collectors a good foundation. Many people don’t like the 2nd one, but I watched them back to back as a kid even got to stay up on a school night I love both films. Upgrade what you can where you can always start with your favorites and go from there. I agree it fits better in science fiction. And yes sometimes genres are interpreted differently. When I worked at the video store Godzilla , Jaws, and King Kong Got put in action/adventure. To me adventure is for The Goonies or Swiss Family Robinson, and Terminator is clearly action . So at home I put them and all the monster movies in horror

@@80sMadeConsumer Gotcha sorry for misinterpreting the purpose of the video. I thought it was just showing off the best transfers. Yeah I’ve always liked both of them as well and I don’t understand why people have mixed opinions on the second one, but everyone’s opinions are different. That’s awesome that you got to work in your video store! I always wanted to, but it has always been difficult finding employers that will work with me on my limitations. It’s much easier now that I can work from home and utilize my skills as an editor to make money. I agree with you on the way you would organize things, but yeah, everyone just sees things differently for whatever reason. Also 100% yes you can only upgrade as much as you can whenever you can.

It really did, however they restored it I wish other studios would take the same route. I’m not a big these are the worst discs because there is so much that could effect each experience. However I own a few that I was disappointed by mainly the color grade looking off from the previous formats.

Glad you enjoyed it, I thought about sending it to you before I uploaded but after a week of editing I was done. I should have a Standard Jennifer overlay for all my videos lol

@@80sMadeConsumer the white text works

@@thelastmoviestanding yeah thanks don’t know why I couldn’t get out of my own head on that

Those are such great movies, I’ll be sure to include them in a future video. Still need to upgrade my Robocop too.

Great movies Lock Up is one I need the upgrade. Haven’t seen Angel Heart in years I’ll be sure to add it to my list. Thanks

Not on mine, but I had that happen before just a manufacture error new disc fixed it

Try to clean the disc with a soft cloth. If that doesn’t fix it try to wash the disc with dish liquid. That solved my problem with Rope from the Alfred Hitchcock Classic collection.

@@MarioGaab could be that too. Dirty discs stop my Panasonic, but my Sony tries to play them anyway skipping to a better part.

I got you! Check out: The Fog Flash Gordon Platoon The Untouchables Aliens Beetle Juice Highlander Full metal Jacket Labyrinth Gremlins Cutting Class These ones I haven’t upgraded yet, but come highly regarded as great looking 4ks An American Werewolf in London The Princess Bride Escape from New York Die Hard The Thing They Live Raging Bull Robocop Field of Dreams

Thats an odd opinion, what decade would you suggest?

@@80sMadeConsumer the 70s

@@randallslinker3775 I enjoy 70s cinema but most only refer to the outliers. As a whole there are way more 80s films that are talked about and revisited by more people. I think Jaws is a good movie but way overrated and Star Wars is a cultural phenomenon. other than that there isn't a single 70s film people regularly talk about
