UHD Review Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Ranown Westerns -- in 4k UHD & Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[mskaye]

The DVDs have been in my Netflix queue forever, so I've just moved them to the top. I'm a fan of Ride The High Country so I'm hoping these movies will be equally good. I assume the movies are repeated on the regular Blu-rays and are from the new scan?

Ride the High Country is in a class by itself but it doesn't mean any of these films are anything less than stellar. Over the last few years, the joys of the Westerns by Budd B and Anthony Mann have been highlights of my movie watching. So well done and such rich narratives and characters. Can't wait for this boxed set. Will earn its place besides my Jacques Tati set and a few others from Criterion. PS - I also love movies that are 70-80 mins in length. They are like The Old Man and The Sea of cinema. Terse, direct, economical and hyper expressive.

I'm watching some DVDs right now "Oppenheimer" (1980) produced by the BBC and broadcasted by PBS back in the day.

My 4K/UHD set arrives tomorrow from Barnes & Noble. I have to decide which of the five films I'm going to watch first.

For the record, so do I. One of
My favorite thrillers, Mute Witness, is only available on DVD.

Do Netflix still ship physical DVDs? I thought that ended?

I can't wait to get my A- Western films in 4K

I'm about to rewatch an early Bob Hoskins/Australian miniseries, "The Dunera Boys" from 1985. On (US) laserdisc! Never seen it available on any other format for decades, until a couple of years ago and even then only DVD!

Mine came today as well. Looking forward to diving in after recently watching all of these on the Indicator BR releases.

Hell yeah. Netflix DVD is ending in September and, just like the video store before it, has been a great resource for: (1) watching movies prior to potential purchase on Blu-ray and (2) cable TV series (I've never had cable). Netflix has every major Criterion DVD. Am I the only person who has used Netflix DVD strategically?

I did years ago. I thought the Netflix rental program ended long ago. Anyway it was lust a joke. Cheers.

Does anyone know if the films in this set are the same ones as Indicator's "Big T" collection?

Excellent series

Does anyone know if the films in this set are the same ones as Indicator's "Big T" collection?

Same films as Indicator. New 4k image harvests and restorations.

I am not familiar with a "Big T" collection from Indicator. This set has the same films as were in the Indicator "Five Tall Tales" set.

Thank you. As I haven't even touched that Indicator collection yet I may just hang on to these editions for now. The current 50% off pricing is tempting, though. I'll go through this set and maybe for the next B&N sale I'll upgrade.

Yes, that's the one. I don't know why I called it the "Big T". Maybe I saw someone else call it that

 

[dpippel]

Yes, that's the one. I don't know why I called it the "Big T". Maybe I saw someone else call it that

Maybe you were thinking of "The Tall T," one of the films in this set?

Do People still Watch DVDs??

I do...if the movie/show isn't available on BD or UHD.
