Desert Island UHDs

[bradnoyes]

Okay so you and your grandma are getting shipped off to a desert island tomorrow and you're never coming back. Lucky for you there is a nice home theater set up but you only get to bring 5 UHDs with you. But since we're being nice you also get to pick a bonus disc for grandma. So, what are you bringing?

My picks:

1) Sicario
2) Bram Stoker's Dracula
3) Leon: The Professional
4) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
5) Blade Runner 2049

For grandma: IT

[Show spoiler]Feel free to ship this off to the "4K Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Threads" thread but I'm feeling caffeinated and bold right now so I posted it here.

[BrownianMotion]

Goodfellas
A Few Good Men
Blade Runner 2049
John Wick 2
Westworld Season 1

For grandma: Pierre Roshan's Lesbians

[EbonDragon]

My picks:

1. BR2049
2. Wonder Woman
3. Independence Day
4. Spider-Man: Homecoming
5. It

Bonus:
La La Land

But now I’m horrified by the idea of being on an island indefinitely with only movies for entertainment.

[LoSouL]

The Shallows
Planet Earth II
Kong: Skull Island
The Revenant
I Am Legend

That way I can watch movies that reflect my environment and lifestyle as a desert island castaway, and be like:

On a island that already has a HT system waiting for me
My top 4k movies would be:

1. All Transformers
2. It
3. Jumanji
4. Kong: Skull Island
5. Harry Potter: The Chambers of Secrets

I'm glad you didn't say "pick 5 on Blu". I wouldn't know what to pick

Since I’m stuck with only 5 I wouldn’t care so much about PQ so I would choose films I can watch over and over.

Goodfellas
Unforgiven
Bladerunner
John Wick 2
Warrior

Yeah, this. So I'd go with:

Labyrinth
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Starship Troopers
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Independence Day (This is a big comfort movie for me, so yeah.)

Dang folks, don't forget about grandma!

[nick4Knight]

I'm cheating by including one that you just know will come to the format, and by the time I actually have an OLED, UHD-ready receiver and the best atmos setup I can swing... sue me.

1. The Dark Knight
2. Mad Max Fury Road
3. The Revenant
4. Apollo 13
5. Jurassic Park

Grandma: Independence Day (1996)

Jurassic Park of my top 20 movies of all time because

[Show spoiler]I already have a track record watching it upwards of 100 times during a 3-6 month period during 2000, on VHS. That's a lot of rewinding

[Nothing371]

I'd bring 'Cast Away' and 'Lost' on regular BD so that I could imagine what it would be like to be stranded on a desert island. I'd also bring 'Giligan's Island' on VHS for grandma. Then none of it would play because we have some 2017 Dolby Vision setup that pumps out greys, with an incompatible BD player, and everything stops working because of broken firmware updates we did right before casting off so we each decide to kill ourselves in ritual suicide instead.

[cynatnite]

You can call it cheating, but I'd take:

1)PE II
2)The Mummy Ultimate Trilogy
3)The Dark Knight Trilogy
4)Planet of the Apes Collection
5)Men In Black Trilogy

For my grandmother who loved animation: The Peanuts holiday collection.
