Edward Scissorhands looks nice on Blu.

3.5. More than acceptable for a nearly 20-year-old movie made for less than $20 million.

And really, there are very few "special effects" - though I assume you mean visual effects (strange how just tonight, after watching Benjamin Button, I was explaining the difference between special effects and visual effects) - in the film. Some miniatures, some excellent mechanical work, a couple rotoscoped shots....the vast, vast majority of this movie was made in-camera.

Of the films on the list I have seen and would probably have in my collection are:

Transporter
Transporter 2
Usual Suspects
League Of Extraordinary Gentleman
Entrapment
Predator
Terminator
28 Days Later (maybe).

But there is absolutely no substitution for buying films that you have see and enjoyed yourself. Other peoples opinions are just that.

CameronW · 01-11-2009, 09:44 AM

transporters are good.. the league of men is entertaining but id say my fav of the bunch is behind enemy lines

my best buy was outta stock when i went, so get them quick!

katharsis · 01-11-2009, 09:49 AM

From Hell
Predator
28 Days.

crazyBLUE · 01-11-2009, 10:01 AM

Transporter 1 &2
Entrapment
Predator
Behind Enemy Lines
Terminator

Petra_Kalbrain · 01-11-2009, 10:20 AM

They are all great movies. Do the math to find out how many you can get free with the $5 gift card award process and you can get them all for a really great price.
