The Great Outdoors & Summer Rental - Blu-ray Forum

DisneyBlu · 06-15-2014, 11:06 AM

Every year, I hope these two films will be out on Blu-ray by summertime. They're great "summer movies."

I don't suppose anyone has heard anything about releases for these two? What do you think the chances are they'll be released sometime soon?

I'll bite.

I would pick both of these up.
I rented summer rental and enjoyed it so much I put it on again straight after the first viewing

Their classic John Candy/80's movies imo, but I bet the studio's see them as low sellers. I like them!

Both of these are great summer films, and are nice to watch at this time of year. IMHO Summer Rental is the superior film, and has some extremely funny scenes:

Love both of these films, especially Great Outdoors! I too look forward to every summer hoping they'll be released, and then nothing. It's a crime these John Candy classics haven't hit Blu-ray yet. I know catalog comedies don't sell as well, but when you see some of the other crap companies dig up and release on Blu it just leaves you baffled.

I love pretty much everything John Candy is in.

I'd get The Great Outdoors. Even "second tier" John Hughes (writer/producer) is still better than most comedies of that era.

In Summer Rental I love Capt. Sculley's opinion of Richard Crenna's character-"He's a squid's d*#k!"

These two films need to be on Blu.

I'd buy them as a two pack, a la Spies Like Us/Funny Farm, if that's the only way they'd release them.
