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.

Great collection, especially for price

Two of the three are 80's classics, and Weird Science is a personal favorite (although critically speaking not as good as the others). Digital copies make this even better. Only wish there were a John Hughes collection that had of of his movies. I assume because of different studios this is impossible, but just hoping.

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring Inchthe MartianInch home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return. Based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master director Ridley Scott, THE MARTIAN features a star studded cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Pe~a, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover.

Fantastic movie

My wife, who usually is apathetic about science-fiction, loved this one. It is "hard" sci-fi, where the story and actions are mostly based upon facts. But more than the science, it is a great movie about the human spirir and I think that is why it struck such a chord with so many people.

Great service, but a bit inconvenient to connect

Verified Purchase:Yes
Must be connected between you Cable/DSL modem and your router for best quality of service, No way to turn off DNS or assign specific IP's to specific MAC addresses, so for more sophisticated home networks it is a negative. But VOIP service is great when connected as recommended.

Exactly what you would expect for the price

These are OK speakers. Suitable for Youtube videos and the like, but not exactly hi-fi. However, I think most people who buy these just need a cheap set of speakers in a rush and these fit the bill.

Excellent movie

One of the better movies I have seen depicting the heroism of soldiers in a dynamic, hostile environment. Doesn't go into the politics very much, for better or for worse. Great camera work makes the action seem very close and real.
