First rewatch since I've had these discs, and since I've had an OLED. These transfers are absolutely Immaculate! This set was an absolute steal at $36

Bamboozled or Lost Highway, Bamboozled because I've been dying to see it for so long and finally have it In high def, Lost Highway because I've been having my wife watch all of Lynch with me and this is when she hasn't seen yet. (Both of which are two of my favorite films ever)
All of them.
No
Deep Cover, Frankenstein, House Party.

My definitive ranking after my first rewatch since deep diving into The Rise and Reign of Kylo Ren comics, and The Shadow of the Sith Sith novel.
This is coming from an original purist who has been watching Star Wars pretty much since birth and saw Return of the Jedi in theaters at age 4. I initially hated the sequel trilogy, save for The Force Awakens, which instantly became my second favorite Star Wars movie since Empire. After diving deep into lore, novels, and comics and rewatching the movies multiple times since they were released, I have changed my mind a lot on these films.
​
I just wish more old-school Star Wars fans would revisit these and consider doing the lore diving and reading novels and comics.
​
I feel like so many of the Star Wars fans that grew up in my era watched these movies once, decided they hated them, and then moved on. They just don't know what they're missing.
​
I will always have my issues with The Last Jedi, but I appreciate it far more than I did before. There are certain things that Johnson did that I absolutely hate, but it's kind of easy to look past them considering how much I love The Rise of Skywalker and The Force Awakens and every sequel trilogy book and comic.
​
I was always a "Luke Skywalker is the greatest thing" guy, nothing can be good without the Skywalkers and George Lucas, but I've changed that tune.
​
It sucks that it seems like Disney let toxic fans scare them out of making this cast the future of the franchise. I would do anything to have them back together again, on screen. It's a damn shame that Bob Iger turned down the hunt for Ben Solo as well.
​
I have grown so fond of Rey as a character. I feel like she needs many more comics and novels. There's so much more to explore with her character. It saddens me that Disney does not seem to be prioritizing her future films at all, either.
​
Shadow of the Sith boosted The Rise of Skywalker up so much higher on my overall list, it's unbelievable. That's one of the greatest books I've ever read in any medium, and it might just be my favorite Star Wars Canon novel now.
​
May the Force be with you all!

Was wondering what Rolling Stones ranked Twin Peaks, to realize it was #16 on their top 100. Then in 2017; I realized they put out an article why season 3 is the most groundbaking TV series ever, and probably surpassed every TV show ever made. I couldn't agree more! I miss David so much.
Currently watching *The Return* for my fifth time overall, and I'm picking up so much stuff that I never did in the past.
After watching so many breakdowns over the years of what *Twin Peaks* means and what Season 3 means, etc., I'm finding that just going in and figuring things out on my own without any outside influence is the best way to watch it.
It took me three watches to realize that Laura's scream in the finale is the most haunting yet beautiful scene in the history of television.
But now, on my fifth watch, I'm realizing that it might actually be my favorite television series ever, and I mean *The Return*, not *Twin Peaks* as a whole.
*Twin Peaks* as a whole at least deserves a spot in the top five shows of all time on every list, and I think it deserves to be number one for its influence—I don't think that can be argued against.
Without the original series, my all-time top 10 TV series list wouldn't even exist.
I feel like I didn't properly mourn Lynch's death when he passed, so I've been re-watching every one of his films, *Twin Peaks*, and now *The Return* over the past few weeks. I own most of his stuff on physical 4K if available.
David Lynch really was such a special person, my favorite filmmaker of all time and probably my favorite person in the history of Hollywood. I honestly couldn't care less to ever meet any celebrity but him.
*The Return* is brilliant on levels that I don't know any other TV show or movie has ever been. It might literally be my favorite viewing experience, whether on the big or small screen.

The Fight Club 4K transfer looks absolutely incredible. It is not too dark, and the sound is great.
It baffles me how many people that are saying negative things about it, that haven't even bought it. They are just going by Word of Mouth.
I can't take anybody serious who says thanks for telling me this, now I don't have to buy it. As if everybody sees this shit in some Echo chamber, oh wait it's Reddit, they do.
It's absolutely one of the best 4K transfers to date, and it looks infinitely better than Fight Club has ever looked. If you love this film as much as I do, then you are doing yourself a disservice by not picking it up.
Ignore the negativity, and just grab it. You will not be disappointed.
Panasonic Z85A OLED, in a dark theater room with a blacked out curtain wall, Vizio 5.1.2 surround sound Atmos system. LG UBK 90 player.
I haven't had to touch the sound, and the picture looks perfectly bright and popping, with no crush, whatsoever... at the industry standard 2.4 gamma. If you want to elevate the pop, and see a little bit more detail, that's up to you, just tap that 2.2.
I will answer any genuine inquiries... but, I will ignore any negative comments.
