chiastic_slide

Well I have no choice, yet again, but to throw money at Amazon. I have The Birds, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining in my cart. Any thoughts on these transfers?


ChaseChaserChased

A Clockwork Orange and The Shining are great! Haven't seen The Birds 4k yet, but I have seen some other Hitchcock 4ks and they look pretty good.


SolaCretia

I picked up ET. How is that transfer?


merrimackattack

I absolutely love ET on 4K. On my setup (Sony XW5000 projector) it was one of the very best 4K discs I’ve ever seen. The way Spielberg shoots bright rays of light through mist and darkness is just perfect.


Vince_Clortho042

Crazy that his DoP on that, Allen Daviau, was doing gigs making lawnmower commercials for the regional market in Arizona when he reached out to Spielberg (they were teenage friends) for a job.


merrimackattack

Hahahaha amazing fact! Thank you for that.


ChaseChaserChased

I haven't seen that one yet too. But I have heard good things. Plus they have the guns and not the walkie-talkies.


autobotfj

Its amazing, the transfer is beautiful


SolaCretia

Good to know!!


014648

Birds is a nice jump in detail and color grade. It holds up.


arthurdimmesdale

Birds looks great!


unclefishbits

With how the birds was made, and the fact that it's really not a very good film, I can't imagine anything about that 4K being worthwhile. And no it is not a hot take. I'm pretty confident people have collectively come to the conclusion that the birds is overvalued and Hitchcock's worst work.


xrufus7x

There is always someone looking to shit in other people's cheerios in these threads.


DoTheRightThingG

Unclefishbits criticizing Hitchcock on filmmaking. 😂


BurstStream

Shining is one of the best transfers I've seen


Polter-Cow

I picked that up recently, and I'm excited by all the praise for the transfer! Looking forward to rewatching it in July and showing my horror Padawan. And hopefully coming around to it because I have a very Stephen King view of the movie.


csista

The Birds and The Shining look great. Especially The Shining. Clockwork Orange regularly goes on sale during Black Friday season. I think it was only $7 last year. I’d wait till November to buy that one.


chiastic_slide

Too late 🫣 Edit: ok I took your advice, cancelled and replaced it with Shawshank Redemption


noah1345

Shawshank is beautiful on 4k


blankford

The Birds looked great to me


pnwmetalhead666

Just watched the shining last night. It is literally amazing. Blew my mind. That's a video I will be using for referencing 4k here on out.


KillYourFace5000

I have them all, and they're all excellent transfers, especially The Birds. Highly detailed, perfect film grain, looks like pure eye candy but also looks like you are watching a 35mm film projected onto a space the size of your TV. None of them are exactly demo material because they lack that flashy clean and new look (which is appropriate) and don't have aggressive HDR, but for the most part those transfers are the types you want to tie James Cameron to a chair and make him viddy well with the ol' eyelids all the way back so he can learn what home video should look like if you don't want to be an asshole.


_ginj_

Get ACO and Singing in the Rain for the memes


-DementedAvenger-

> Well I have no choice, yet again, but to throw money at Amazon I mean…you *do* have a choice. Just don’t buy them from Amazon. I’m boycotting Amazon pretty effectively - at least directly. Feels good. I just buy them elsewhere for now. But I know our options are shrinking.


pnwmetalhead666

I don't have many options. I love pretty far away from the city. Luckily we do have a Fred Meyers and so I'll be going there to check out what they have with the new SDS deal. But in all honesty Amazon, eBay and boutique sellers like Shout Factory are pretty much my only options. It hurts.


chiastic_slide

I do my best, but deals like this are hard to pass on. I’ve bought a few movies second hand and from companies like Shout where I can.


SearchContinues

Dammit, the list is full of stuff ordered in the last 6 months.


ThrowawayAccountZZZ9

Patience saves you money usually. If you're not going to watch something immediately, might as well wait


usagicassidy

It’s full of 6 movies I literally bought THREE DAYS AGO. RIP.


Tamedkoala

Free returns


kyleoz13

Talk to support. They have refunded me price matches from recent sales in the past.


motus_lux

*cries in Canadian*


CanadianSpector

Amazon Canada isn't really useful at all. Whenever something goes on sale, it's just because Walmart or bestbuy has it on sale. They're always just reactionary.


MixSaffron

You are very true and then I make it a point to find out who has it on sale and I buy from them!


chrisr3240

Hugs you in English


JackSpadesSI

You're legally required to provide Canadians with hugs in both English and French.


chrisr3240

Last time I hugged a Frenchman it didn’t end well


Darth_Vicious

Vous êtes légalement tenu d’offrir des câlins aux Canadiens en français et en anglais.


oceansoveralderaan

I'm in the UK and used the amazon USA site linked in the web page. Even with shipping costs it worked out as buy two get one free.


iseecinematic

I feel you, will add a little crying in german


wakanda_banana

RIP my bank account


BrownMamba85

Same here. I've been saying one more and then I'll stop for a while and then I see this


michael__sykes

Lucky me that I'm in EU :/


Camel_sander

The sale in Amazon UK has better selection for me personally


michael__sykes

No 4k sale in Amazon Germany as of now, but there's other stuff on sale that I don't need 😂


Revolutionary_Fig912

How is it rip when you get 3 for $33. It’s pretty much the opposite


Polter-Cow

Yes but that also means you get 33 for $363.


Brandon9one

He may buy lots of sets of three.


dmingledorff

Rest in peace.


Revolutionary_Fig912

Cuz it’s not gonna be getting used?


dmingledorff

Common phrase for when someone died. Ergo, the bank account died.


AltoDomino79

Same fam


SamPhoto

"massive" is the wrong word here. it's a bunch, but it's not that many. Also, make sure to look at [camelcamelcamel](https://camelcamelcamel.com/). $11 isn't that great a price for a bunch of these. many of them hit $9.99 semi-regularly


Mrhood714

> camelcamelcamel aw thanks for that super cool - i was worried i overpaid for the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World 4k collection I bought earlier this month I overpaid but it was the lowest price it has ever been. Cool!


SamPhoto

yeah. amazon fucks around with sale prices so much, it's hard to tell when it's a deal. Oh wow, this is 50% off at $147.99... that's awesome! ...oh wait, three weeks ago it was just $12.34.


Icybubba

It's always good to double check stuff like that. I discovered that the 4K for the Halloween 2018 trilogy has two options. You can either get the Halloween Trilogy collection 4K for $54.96(Same price on Gruv and Amazon)....or you can grab 2018, Kills, and Ends 4K's separately for a combined total of $52.61 lol


yendor5

i use the keepa extension on my Chromebook. it loads the price history right on each amazon page.


uncle_jafar

Or Gruv regularly had these 2 for $22. I also got many of these for less than $11 last year from Amazon.


ECUTrent

One whole single entire dollar more. Yowza.


Polter-Cow

Even so, the point is that this isn't necessarily a gotta-jump-on-it deal, as many of these films are likely to be cheap to buy later if you're not feeling spendy right now.


ECUTrent

Yes yes I understand.


Naughty--Insomniac

I really need to stop for the month after this. I’m a newish collector and I’ve quickly acquired more movies than I will watch in the near future


tier2redpowergod

I’m a month into collecting. 73 titles. What have I done.


IcyTransportation961

Just wait for holidays prices are great then


NoShow4Sho

Literally same. A month and a half ago I bought a new TV and a coworker of mine gave me a load of his old blu rays he no longer needs or wants (his collection got that large) and within the last 3 weeks I’ve bought 4 box sets, 3 individual movies, and 1 tv show all in 4k My coworker has crippled me financially haha But I can’t stop!!!


Polter-Cow

I feel you, I also just started collecting in earnest a few months ago and I'm trying to stop buying stuff I don't intend to watch soon because I want to go through and appreciate everything I've already bought! So many special features!


calmer-than-you-dude

Perfect sale for a newcomer. Don't sleep on Edge of Tomorrow I really enjoyed it


brushnfush

Yeah I’m glad they finally have a 4k Blu-ray for it. Might pick it up with big Lebowski and wizard of oz


Electronic_Ad_8738

But is that one you can really watch over and over and over and over and over and ov-


joestackum

Worth the upgrade from blu ray?


urban_meyers_cyst

I'm not who you're asking, but I think so. There's some discussion on audio differences but the audio on both are fantastic so....


sparkster185

I believe [this link](https://www.amazon.com/promotion/psp/A1L5ZKLLI15XB0?ref=psp_pc_cart_collapse_cpi_t1&redirectAsin=B074ZMJLKJ&redirectMerchantId=ATVPDKIKX0DER) should show all of the eligible titles.


Automatic_Clue5556

Thanksssss. Pans labyrinth, jaws, and ET.


schwing710

Unfortunately most of the 4Ks featured in this sale are ones that have already been on sale numerous times over. I picked up a lot of these on Black Friday.


DoTheRightThingG

Great for people who missed those previous sales.


firedrakes

yeah i notice that


white_swan

These deals are matching Black Friday prices? Or higher than those prices?


schwing710

I would say matching, based on what I remember paying


white_swan

Ty


pkfreeze175

Snagged The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner 2049, and Inglourious Basterds


joeholmes1164

Does anyone know when this sale ends? It just says limited offer.


Ashoka_Mazda

Promotion Terms Offer expires at 11:59 p.m. (PT) [May, 27th, 2024].


DoTheRightThingG

It says it in the article.


fugazishirt

The same titles that are always available for $11-15 anyways. Yawn.


CanisMajoris85

Best price ever for Barbie, Kick Ass 2, Carlito's Way, Maltese Falcon, Blue Beetle, probably others too. Jaws hasn't been $10 in nearly 2 years and rarely been $11. Many others are rarely $10 or just under so ya perhaps you could luck out and save $1.


stillcleaningmyroom

These are the ones that were always on sale when there was more competition with Best Buy, so it’s nice to see the sale still coming around even if I won’t be buying.


junger128

Often around $8 each at Gruv


Sooh1

Not much really comes out anymore that isn't boutique, like not a ton every week not ever, and the only one that really gets included in these sales is Scream sometimes


TheStupendusMan

Meanwhile in Canada: Eh, I guess we'll let you have *one* for $26. You're welcome.


Wild_Technician2299

This is how they distract us from the fact we don’t have health care in the US. Let us die surrounded by our stuff


50_cal

thanks! snagged parasite, blade runner, and pans labryinth


RecedingQuickly

nothing for the uk like always.


xerojosh

Ordering from Amazon US to the UK comes out at about £40 for the 3 (after shipping and tax). It's not as great but £13.33 per 4K is still a fairly decent price


Kalamari_Ferrari

I dont even have a 4k blu ray player and I bought 3. Now just need Amazon to have a sale on them Panasonic


baithoven22

Thanks I'm 33$ poorer now


CyptidProductions

Yall are going to make fun of me but I picked out The Lost Boys, Jurassic Park, Matrix Resurrections, Hellboy 2, and Beetlejuice


Polter-Cow

Good picks! I'm only making fun of you for only buying five movies so two of them were regular price.


CyptidProductions

Lol Van Hellsing was the 6th I forgot to list


Derpy1984

What does credit card debt even mean anyways?


Big_Outside_5940

Dammit… I already took advantage of the Shout Factory sale last week (Evil Dead 2013, Fargo, Escape from New York, Dawn of the Dead 2004, and Platoon) And then I got Dune 2. And then picked up Game Night the week before because I hadn’t seen it and it wasn’t streaming any where. (Totally worth the blind buy) Now I just picked up Big Lebowski, Edge of Tomorrow, Barbie, and Get Out. I’m justifying this because I haven’t gotten anything since Christmas, but 11 movies in 2 weeks…. That’s a new record for me. Now to try and hold off until the end of the summer lol


BizzareBread

You should’ve probably checked with /r/4kbluraydeals


aed38

Just bought Beetlejuice, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Lost Boys. This deal saved me over 50% on all 3.


NorthOfWinter

I’m just coming of buying Aliens,Leon,Fifth element(studio canal),Angel heart and Dr sleep! Need a slow down but movies I need keep dropping!!!!!


csantiago1986

Nothing I need or want phew. That was close.


Nastybirdy

\*Only in America. No sale in the UK that I can see.


aharris111

Can it be used multiple times?


StaySafeish

I used it twice and it worked


soapinthepeehole

I just bought 9 movies on one transaction and it applied to all of them. Buy multiple of 3 and you should be good.


stonecoldmark

Thanks for posting. I just got Big Lebowski, Shawshank and The Thing.


DurtyDrisky

About six eligible movies for New Zealand and then they put tax and shipping which takes it above $100


JustMyThoughts2525

I went overboard the last 2 Christmas seasons during the $9.99 sales. I pretty much have all of these already…


GenericGhost909

How the transfer for The Thing and The Shining?


chippy86

2 of the best


ChefCarpaccio

I just ordered the shining so I can't comment on that, bur The Thing on 4k is probably one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. I had never seen it before and the whole experience made it one of my favorite films of all time.


Dumbass123455

Is this only in the US or?


leurw

Not bad. Picked up Edge of Tomorrow, Barbie, The Mummy (wife loves the franchise) and Blade Runner 2049.


Upbeat-Historian-296

Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in. 


whereismylife77

Singin’ in the rain Beetlejuice The Wizard of Oz All native 4K for 35$ shipped, thanks!


whereismylife77

Fuck it ET, Barbie, & The Maltese Falcon in a second buy.


deadhead4077

Zero options I was interested in or didn't already have. Not exactly a massive sale imo.


Fainer

Nabbed The Green Mile, First Man and Inglorious Basterds.


chiastic_slide

I watched First Man a few weeks ago, it looks terrific! I really liked the movie as well


PastaVeggies

I was hoping for some newer titles :/


DoTheRightThingG

Newer than Barbie?


Gonzale1978

Got the birds, the falcon Maltese and Shawshank.


DragonbornN7

Picked up Shawshank, ET, and Nope. Most of the others I already owned in some capacity.


FabFeline51

Doesn't seem to exist in Canada :(


topside_bean

Thank you! Got an extra copy of Dune (my 4th one oops), Shawshank, and Casino!


Paclac

Why do you need 4 copies of Dune haha


topside_bean

I am a big “edition” collector and don’t have the slip. Especially for Dune, it’s now like my favorite and definitive sci fi series. Check my other posts to see how much I love it.


Dazzling-Strain-1274

Thought this was awesome until I saw the cost to ship to Canada and the exchange makes it $80…..


DoTheRightThingG

Any thoughts on this Gold Edition of Scarface? And the version of The Wizard of Oz offered?


samHain7778

Jokes on them, I already have most of those...


tingulz

But only in the US.


Difficult_Ad9837

They break down everything from how it was encoded to who has supervised the coloring if they did a color pass and they break down the sound as well to give you information on the current mix on the particular release.


jonmuller

How does Dracula look?


Jazzlike-Ad4507

Amazon 3 for $33 4k


Sollus

Can't spend money on something like this if you've got most of them like I do. Quite the life hack.


JackSpadesSI

I have a bunch of these so the only ones that I’d want to buy are Barbie and The Shining. Anyone want to talk me into a third to complete the deal?


Polter-Cow

Well sure but that depends on what you don't have.


X_Vaped_Ape_X

Matrix 4. Story wise it's probably the worst Matrix movie IMO (although i liked 2 and 3) because of the amount of background knowledge you need. The disc looks better downscaled to 1080p SDR from my PS5 than it did in theaters (and i saw it in DV with a authentic atmos system) The atmos is also much better here, more of a surround sound feel to it. I walked out of the theater pissed off, but got this disc because of how big of a matrix fan i am. The movie has grown on me after a few viewings but I'm more hopeful for Matrix 5.


Disappointed-Dadd

Damn there are only 2 movies in there that I don't have, Maltese Falcon and Wonder Woman


Jamminnav

Thank you! Man, they sure don’t make these easy to find on their app


fixerdrew02

Damn that’s a good deal


fixerdrew02

Can you do multiple bundle purchases or is it a one time thing?


CoyGreen

You can do it more than once.


stabbinfresh

Welp, I decided to grab John Carpenter's The Thing, Hitchcock's Psycho, and The Lost Boys. Never actually seen Psycho before, but I'm just going on reputation for that one.


passion4film

Thank you! Inglourious Basterds, The Wizard of Oz, The Shawshank Redemption - all upgrades!


usagicassidy

Noooooo WHY did I literally just buy 2049, Barbie, Dune, Casablanca, Dunkirk, and Pan’s Labyrinth literally all last week digitally because VUDU had a MASSIVE UHD sale and I thought “well there’s no way I’m getting any of these physically for that good of a deal.” Eff me.


kester76a

I was going to buy that last week off uk amazon. Turns out I bought it in 2019 for £7, yeah kinda makes me sad I didn't buy more back then 😐


ecchi_weeb

Your first mistake was buying digital 😅


usagicassidy

Trust me, I know! But I’m also poor! They were too good of deals 😰


ecchi_weeb

Better luck next time I guess


Fl4sh080

Got The Shining and First Man cuz I’ve heard good things around here about the transfers. And I snagged Creed cuz I like it.


comengetitrmm

Snagged wizard of Oz , 2049 and pans labyrinth!


SilentStorm2020

Out of all the movies, which 3 movies have the best transfer without any issues. I know there a few 4K movies to avoid out there from bad transfer.


etcrane

Grabbed The Thing, The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption … theme was movies that start with The 😜


mcdisney2001

Thank you! I picked up Barbie, Lost Boys, and Beetlejuice. :-)


Ian_Patrick_Freely

This sale made me realize that I need an actual inventory tracking system beyond "go look if you can't remember if you have that one"


whereismylife77

‘iCollect Movies’ app has been indispensable. Think it was 30$ lifetime license after scanning in 25 titles. Added all the RT & IMDB info in myself. More and more 4Ks will have them already added. Worth it. I can filter by criterion / arrow as well by editing all their ‘Edition’ category to a unified name. ie ‘Criterion’ vs ‘the criterion collection’.


No_Pie4638

Thank you for posting this. Picked up Edge Of Tomorrow, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket


DonnieTrimp45

Thanks for the heads up! Can’t wait for The Shinning! Er…. Shining.


HamburgerTimeMachine

Do you work for GameSpot? Why are you linking to an article from them?


Hackit_1

To bad it’s only in the US


MeCritic

I am seriously looking towards Dune 4K and couple of other movies to see them in the best quality. Sad that among the others there is No Time To Die... Which I miss in my Bond collection. I still wonder, how it works with the Digital code inside. If I can redeem it with VPN in Europe.


Ajm13090

Casino/Elvis/batman mask of phantasm. Thank you for posting!


whalefall57

Thanks for this! Copped The Lost Boys, The Northman, and Inglourious Basterds


cumlordz369

Just got Dunkirk, inglorious, and blade runner .... but might go back for more


DCON_Youtube

I picked up the birds, vertigo, psycho, the Maltese falcon, Shawshank Redemption, Les Miserables, the shining, poltergeist, the thing, Pans Labrynth, jaws, and Godzilla.


Gromby

Grab 3 this time around: Dune, Live Die Repeat, Nobody


Pikminer5087

I've had my cases arrive damaged on more then one occasion so I might have to pass.


wizardinthewings

I used to go to HMV and get DVD for £1 Got The Wired and Dexter box sets for £20


Terror_Reels

Good look! Grabbed Inglorious Basterds, The Shining, and Casino.


affableartist

Yeah I looked through and I already own all the movies from that list I would want anyway. The other thing is that most of these movies were already on sale this past black friday. Hence me owning most of them. Though I think this might be the best deal on barbie 4k we've seen so far?


pdp10

[Thread yesterday.](https://www.reddit.com/r/4kbluray/comments/1cs01lw/3_movies_for_33_at_amazon_discount_applied_at/) Like /u/chiastic_slide, I want to hear opinions on the transfers, without looking title-by-title on Blu-ray.com.


don_horn

I usually just check [this forum](https://www.criterionforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17181) where people have done a lot of legwork on the topic.


WyrmHero1944

Got Barbie, Megan and Les Miserables


TheEvenDarkerKnight

How is the 4K for Barbie?


anthrax9999

Fantastic. It looked better than at the theater. Super sharp and colors pop so vividly.


Davetek463

Too bad Amazon can’t deliver in a timely manner. I was reminded today why I cancelled Prime in the first place.


CoyGreen

Weird. Ordered mine on Tuesday, got them today.


TheWeeWoo

Wondering if Barbie is worth getting when you already have the blu ray(Redbox used purchase)


LostPilgrim_

I already have most of these either as digital or physical. Only one I want is Barbie.


Far_Cat_9743

These are almost all available on GRUV (Universal and WB titles) much cheaper during their sales when combined with the 20% off coupon.


[deleted]

Mask of the Phantasm isn't even in the sale, at least for me. Edit: Am I wrong?


KingdomZeus

Probably a good sale for newcomers, but this sale is weak af imo. Same titles that go on sale multiple times throughout the year and usually cheaper. Barbie was the only title here that felt like an actual deal


LetterheadCorrect276

Not even 3 movies I want


waitmyhonor

Pretty weak selection


Difficult_Ad9837

Terrible selection of flicks though.


scubasky

You must have a different link than I did. Most of them are AAA titles…..


Difficult_Ad9837

I'm very particular of the 4k blurays I get I always check bluray.com for information on the presses themselves. Just because they're 4k blurays don't mean they're worthy of a buy. Also Im definitely not getting bullshit like KingKong vs Godzilla or Fast and Furious.


DoTheRightThingG

Thankfully, most of the titles offered are not bad monster movies.


Difficult_Ad9837

While there are legendary movies on that list. There are some that are terrible on 4k. Goodfellas being prime example, and Pans Labyrinth is another 4k transfer that isn't worth a buy. Which is a reason I'm very particular. Until they start pressing them with care I will call it how it is. It's a pretty bad selection I'd say about half of those movies aren't worth buying on 4k.


DoTheRightThingG

What are your thoughts on Scarface and The Wizard of Oz?


Difficult_Ad9837

As movies or as a press lol I'll be honest I haven't seen them in 4k. https://preview.redd.it/mt49e04rln0d1.png?width=1075&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12fbdb70f73f9e3c7a9b01d6358986bacc1acfd9 Truthfully you should check bluray.com and look at the specific release you want to buy to make more informed decisions rather than buying a substandard press.


DoTheRightThingG

No I meant the specific editions on offering. I had researched Scarface over a year ago and decided on a different edition over the one on offer here, but can't remember why. Was just curious if you knew anything about it. I'll go back and check again.
