![The Great Gatsby [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2013]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/b98b54df-01a0-4aa8-8175-a385ab47f3e5.jpg)

It's 4K Old Sport...
on March 16, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although critically, The Great Gatsby may lean too far into it's excessive demeanor as it replicates the decadence of the roaring 20s, one can't help but marvel at that the incredible colors and design that this movie lovingly presents. Say what you will about the movie's adaptation of the classic Fitzgerald novel, this movie is still an excellent showcase of 4K and makes for an excellent demo of what 4K picture technology can truly offer.

Don't Sleep On It!
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sleeping Beauty is a movie of it's time. While the story beats and the character dialogue will seem somewhat out of place to modern movie fans, the animation illustrated throughout the film is incredible and will stand the test of time as true artistry. This solid HD transfer really helps too immerse you into the world of Sleeping Beauty and could almost be played with the sound off as a gorgeous, moving painting. They don't make 'em like this anymore folks!

No Clause For Alarm
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
Arguably the best of Tim Allen's Santa Clause trilogy, this Disney original movie is STILL a ton of fun and essential viewing around the holidays. While the transfer doesn't shine with breath-taking cinematography, it still looks great on my TV. For added value, this particular copy came with a digital copy for those that prefer their content on-the-go, or digitally.

An Animated Film with an Ocean of Heart
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
Perhaps the height of the Disney Animation Renaissance, The Little Mermaid still shines with this glorious HD release on Blu-Ray. The movie has some of the best songs ever written for a Disney musical and it is a blast to hear them in crisp detail as curated on this disc. This quintessential Disney movie is incredibly re-watchable for all ages and will most likely earn a place in the homes of Disney movie collectors as a must-have.

Tom Hanks and Christmas, What's Not to Love?
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
A modern Christmas Classic in it's ideal format, The Polar Express Blu-Ray helps showcase the impressive visuals (for 2004) and not further highlight their age in this HD transfer. It has enough special features to keep you busy over the holidays by taking an in-depth look at the techniques used by Robert Zemeckis. Much of the motion capture technology is perhaps a little dated, but still very fun to see as a bookmark in special effects history.

Wick Or Wick-Out You
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
Another fantastic compilation of movies in one convenient set! The John Wick movies have recently set a new standard when it comes to action movies and the way gun-fights are brought to the screen, and what better way to experience it, than as a complete set? Granted, I would argue the first John Wick is the best of the trilogy, I still think the sequels are worthy additions that any action movie fan would enjoy for this ideal package.

A Rose By Any Other Name
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
What is there to say about Beauty and the Beast? This gorgeously animated movie adaptation still reigns supreme and has aged phenomenally well. This Anniversary edition allows Disney fanatics to add it to their collection amid the rise of the Disney + streaming option. It's just such a classic Disney movie that I felt it would be worth owning on for the odd occasions when I am at our cabin way out north. There might not be another universally liked film outside of The Wizard of Oz.

Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Godfather Part III, director/screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola brings a definitive new edit and restoration of the final film in his epic Godfather trilogy-Mario Puzo's THE GODFATHER, Coda The Death of Michael Corleone. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), now in his 60s, seeks to free his family from crime and find a suitable successor to his empire. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence. The film's meticulously restored picture and sound, under the supervision of American Zoetrope and Paramount Pictures, includes a new beginning and ending, as well as changes to scenes, shots, and music cues. The resulting project reflects author Mario Puzo and Coppola's original intentions of The Godfather Part III, and delivers, in the words of Coppola, Incha more appropriate conclusion to The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.Inch

Just When You Thought You Were Out...
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
An astounding alternative to Francis Ford Copalla's Godfather Part III, The Godfather Coda gives the film new life an makes just enough minor corrections to provide some essential viewing for Godfather fans. Make no mistake, this IS a different cut of the movie, however, it is still very much the same movie as Godfather Part III. You won't be blown away by drastic changes, but I think the changes that have been implemented make this the superior version. It's a great purchase, but there will probably be a a full collection with this Coda included, so some may want to hold-out for that!

Still The Champ
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although I had only really sought to purchase the original two films of this series (since they are my absolute favorites), who can pass up this convenient collection? I'm a snob when it comes to collection packaging, but this is one that was done right! Discs, aren't jammed into paper sleeves or other strange packaging and it all takes less space on my shelf. For this price, I don't know why any Rocky fan would attempt to find each disc separately.

An Everlasting Classic
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: SmokingN8
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Classic 1971 film still touches a soft spot in my nostalgia and satiates the desire to feel like a kid again. Presented in an incredible high definition package, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory sure helps to showcase the mouth watering imagery of chocolate in all it's rich glory. Although not an EXACT adaptation of Roald Dahl's book of the same name, you cannot top the spell binding performance of Gene Wilder in one of his career defining roles!
