Ron Howard's Cocoon was one of the biggest hits of the eighties, won an Oscar for star Don Ameche and spawned a sequel. Yet, for something like 10 years its been all but impossible to find. It was issued on DVD over 20 years ago, but only surfaced on Blu-ray in Region 2. In North America, the old DVD, if you can find it, is the only way to see this movie. It's not streaming, but oddly, the sequel Cocoon: The Return is easy to find. In this video, we discuss why it vanished and why it's so important to keep collecting Blu-rays (and physical media in general) and never to throw out your old DVDs, as movies still just go away - and often for inexplicable reasons.

Thank you for pointing out the importance of physical media. Teach your children. Censorship, like never before, is upon us. Godspeed.

Cocoon is a great film and it's a shame they never released more. This is why I hold onto my old VHS tapes & DVDs.

They are cutting “problematic” scenes from television shows and movies. They are changing the words in books. ANALOG > DIGITAL

And they wonder why piracy is so popular. It resolves all these problems.

Same holds true for Television shows. Big shows like Buffy and Friends that got full runs are probably safe, and some small shows canned early like Firefly has its cult audience keeping it relevant enough... but what about shows like Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, Greg the Bunny, or old camp shows like Brisco County Jr? They can be a nightmare to track down, if they are even available at all. But they are definitely worth archiving and making available to the public.

I really like the Mondo steelbook of Batman V Superman because not only does the packaging look amazing, it also contains both cuts on 1080p blu ray as well as the 4K version of the ultimate cut with the IMAX scenes.

I still keep physical copies for when the internet service goes out, which happens more often than I would like.

Digital ownership is having a DRM-free version downloaded to your local drive (and backed up). The digital "ownership" you talk about in the video is just temporary access until one of the many tenuous links in the chain backs out, then you don't have access.

Cocoon is in the same state of flux as all of the 20th Century Fox library. Disney has zero interest in doing anything with these films, aside from streaming. Fox was working on some amazing and pretty random 4k restorations before the Disney acquisition. It all ended abruptly after Disney was in charge. There are so many films waiting for a release, but they are stuck in a vault, many at the Library of Congress National Audio Visual campus in Culpeper, VA.

I love the movie who’s that girl staring madonna but I’m fighting with myself about getting it on blue ray is Blu-ray really so much better and are they really going to fade out dvd the way they fade out VHS?
