Hey Keith hope you're feeling better, thanks for joining the stream last night. Wow I didn't realize Arrow did so many Steelbooks I only know if the more recent ones but wow they all look fantastic
Yeah people sometimes forget that arrow done a lot of Steel books. I'm missing so many and hopefully some day I can pick them up up. Thanks again for the stream last night Pete. I thought it was fantastic and always great to see John on your stream.
My favorite arrow steelbook are fulci gates of hell trilogy..amazing steelbooks! The recent American werewolf one i loved too & the color just pops on the candyman & carrie ones
Great list!
Hey Paul believe it or not but I actually don't own any of them steelbooks. It really is amazing I have around 30 Steelbook from Arrow video and you just happened to name the few that I didn't have. The gates of hell trilogy is something that I desperately want for my collection. I need to look but I might have one of them now that I think of it. Candyman and Carrie as well look fantastic. Really need to catch up on my arrow Video steelbooks. Thanks again Paul for coming over and checking out the video. I hope you're doing well my friend
Ya can grab the Carrie & candyman ones for cheap enough still..they gates of hell ones are a pretty price now tbh but are the best art wise IMO.
Ye bud quiet Christmas, have covid atm but were all good, had one day of feeling quite sick but after that we were all good just have to isolate now so can do nothing but chill & watch films..& that’s what i do anyway lol
Happy newyear bud 👌
Hey Paul I'm so sorry to hear that you got covid. I really hope you're doing well my friend and your family. I'm not feeling the greatest myself at the moment and believe it or not I'm trying to get a PCM test but it's nearly impossible over here in Ireland at the moment so I'm just quarantine myself. God will this ever end.
Great video thanks for sharing it with us
Thank you Garry for checking it out. Really appreciate it my friend
Amazing collection of steelbooks. I always find the old classic poster artwork on a steelbook very nice, they definitely don’t do artwork like they use to. All very nice.
Thank you so much Gary for checking the video out. I'm just like you I like the old school covers on these steelbooks. You don't see that nearly enough with steelbooks today. Hope you're doing well my friend
Hi Keith,
A fine list of great looking steelbooks from your collection, i do collect steelbooks but only for movies that i truly love & get repeated viewings, i do have that "Weird science" steelbook, which is hard to turn down with that shot of Kelly Le Brock, "Porkys" a comedy classic, the shower scene gets me every time ha, ha.
"Day of the dead" has really grown on me many years later, cracking looking steelbook, actually bought & watched recently "Lifeforce" that first steelbook edition of "Big trouble in Little China" goes for crazy money, i do have the Zavvi steelbook edition which i"m happy with, but yours is damn beautiful !
"The Burning" slasher classic & the raft scene is still horrific in by today"s standards, "The Burbs" a superb movie, it has everything in it, & a superb cast also. Fine collectors editions on show here, your "Big trouble in Little China"steelbook has to be the nicest one here in my opinion.
A very good start to the morning with a video from yourself!
Man I haven’t seen Porky’s in such a lo no time but that scene in the principals office where they’re doing the sketch is absolutely hilarious and the egg prank lol
The Burning for me I only watched last year and it’s not my fave slasher but it sure is an entertaining one lol that camp fire scene is so jarring because of the music but I love it.
Great video kind sir 😎
Hey Joe I'm exactly like you when it comes to the Burning. I enjoyed the movie I think it's a good movie but it's definitely not near one of my favourite slasher movies. Will never fully understand why It got banned in the 80s. Thanks again for stopping by and checking out my video and for the kind words. I hope you're doing well my friend
Great video 👍.....Ther all incredible 😍😍
Thanks so much Roy for checking it out. Hope your doing well my friend
Lovely steel books man. Brilliant video.
Thank you so much Brian for checking the video out and for the kind words. I really do appreciate it
Great collection some beauts in there Life-force is one of my guilty pleasures. Its strange what was banned in the 80s compared to some stuff now.
I don't think there's a whole lot of of love out there for life force. Which is a shame because I think it's a very decent tobe Hooper movie. Thankfully arrow did a fantastic job on this release and it really looks beautiful. I will never fully understand some of the movies that got banned in the 80s. As a matter of fact I still find it strange that Texas chainsaw was banned for so long over here in Ireland. I seen movies 100 times worse in the 80s
you had me with the intro
Wow that is very kind of you. Thanks so much for coming over and checking out the video. I really do appreciate it
Absolutely love BTILC & The Burbs. Pretty much had them both on repeat while growing up! Cult 80's masterpieces and totally agree with 'pure gold' when Carpenter and Russell team up. Looking forward to the 4K releases!... The Thing, one of the greatest Sci-Fi Horrors ever made
I'm exactly like yourself when it comes to big trouble and The Burbs. There wasn't a week they went by Where I wasn't watching both of them. Porkys without question is probably my favourite comedy of all time and another film that was always on repeat when I was younger. I wasn't a big fan of Steelbooks myself but I've gotten into them in a big way in the last year. But I do understand why people don't collect them. Thanks again JD for coming over and checking the video out. I hope you're doing well my friend
Excellent video Keith. It's always refreshing to see some titles that are not just horror. Anyway, I only have The Burning steelbook out of the ones in this video. But that Rabid one looks great👍👍
It's funny you say that Josh because every time someone does a video to do with arrow Video it always involves horror. I think people forget that they brought out some great comedies as well.
Hey Keith! Hope all is well! Absolutely loving that Big Trouble In Little China case! 🔥 Keep it up!
Hey Jonathan hope you're doing well my friend. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video
all great picks keith keep them coming
Thanks so much James. I really appreciate you taking the time to check out the video.
Great arrow steelbooks keith very nice great editing by the way
Thanks again Simon for checking out the video. I really do appreciate it my friend
Great video as always Keith, love your enthusiasm for films, it just shines through, keep up the good work 👍
Hey John thanks again for checking the video out. I am very passionate when it comes to my movies and I always have been and it's great to hear that it's coming across on the camera as well.
@@millerman9991 It certainly does Keith, always enjoy your videos 👍
Some beauties there, I have the burning, weird science and day of the dead steels books too and the only other ones I have are Lady Snowblood which is ok, True Romance which I love the colour of it, King of New York with gorgeous artwork and and underrated Bride of Reanimator
I'm actually trying to buy True Romance on 4K Steelbook because like you I thought the colour of it was beautiful. I remember the king of New York Steelbook as well and it looks fantastic. The only reason why I didn't get the Bride of re-animator is because I had the limited edition set. But still a fantastic Steelbook
I've got to admit that Arrow do some great Steelbooks 🤩🤩 love it when they use the original covers on Steelbooks 👌👌👌 yeah Porkys was a MASSIVE movie!! 😲👍 saw Lifeforce at the Cinema, what an experience 👏 some great back covers as well 🤩 The Thing steelbook looks amazing when rhe light shines on it!! I agree with The Burbs transfer 🥴 all these Steelbooks are REALLY nice!! I think people forget how good Arrow are when it comes to doing them.... one I had that was lovely looking was Tenebrae and also I thought Zombie Flesh Eaters actually wasn't that good, the artwork was a bit hmmmm for me! Should have went with the original! Great video Keith nice to see these Steelbooks again 🤩🤩👍👍
You're absolutely right John I think people really do forget that arrow do some fantastic steelbooks. I know you're not a fan of the zombie Flesh Eaters Steelbook but I can tell you now I would do anything to own it because it's that rare. They also brought out a Steelbook of the beyond that I would love to get hold of. But unfortunately both of those steelbooks go for crazy money. Never say never though
Brilliant collection Keith, my favourite Porky's scene has got to be the Lassie scene with Kim Cattrall and they are trying to play basketball lol, out of your top 10 i would have put Day of the dead as my number one, all ten are also great films, thanks mate.
The lassie scene is without question one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. Funny enough porkys has a lot of them. I was always a fan of Day of the Dead artwork and it's a masterpiece by George Romero. Thanks so much for checking out the video. I hope you're doing well my friend
The best one has to be the Thing Steelbook for me it's a cracking design using the original poster art 👍
I wanted to put it at number 1 Matt but I thought I'd be a bit biased by doing so. Everyone knows how much I love John Carpenter but I couldn't put it at number one.
Great share man. Btw Life Force was based on a book called Space Vampires, which is why it was almost called that.
Very good I wasn't sure where the origin of the name space vampires came from and now you've answered that for me. Thanks so much Will for the heads up and for checking out the video
Always great to see a varied cross section of films. How I remember going to London in the mid-1980's and getting a chance to see Big Trouble on the big screen with another classic Fox title Aliens. Those were the days. Big Trouble wasn't a box-office success back in 1986, and Aliens didn't do too well either. It's only been through renting these titles on VHS and TV screenings in late 1980's through to the the 1990's that gave both films their rightful status as hits. I think both Aliens and Big Trouble premiered on ITV in the UK. God, it must be a good 30 odd years ago now Keith. How time goes....keep well, and Happy New Year!
I unfortunately never had the privilege of seeing Big Trouble in Little China on the big screen or Aliens. Aliens is without question my favourite movie of all time and I would have loved to have seen on the big screen. Unfortunately over here in Ireland the never seem to screen old movies like they do in the States. But I still have hope that someday I will see both these movies on the big screen. Happy New Year to you my friend and I wish you all the best for the New Year.
@@millerman9991 how do I get the feeling that Fox probably will never serve up these two films for a limited run at the cinema. Since Disney took on Fox, they've been very closed shop about their back catalogue. It would be nice to see Big Trouble at somewhere like the BFI in London's South Bank. Maybe a two night screening would be rather nice. I would go in a flash. I even had the CBS/FOX Video video shop poster on my wall with that stunning artwork. 1980's dished up some cracking films. 👌
It's funny you said that because as soon as I sent you that message that's the first thing that entered my head was the fact that 20th Century Fox is owned by Disney. There is no way we will ever get special screening for either of them movies
@@millerman9991 Yep. Fox/Disney will probably keep these films for future streaming services. Any restoration work will be done to lure people in to these services. The Abyss being one example. Cameron certainly won't release this film on any physical media platform, so I would imagine that the film, if it get's a restoration, will probably be exclusively available through Disney + down the road, when Cameron feels like doing a full overhaul of the film. I would love to see the original cinema releases of the Star Wars films released on 4k. But that's never gonna happen.
Just brought Shaw Brother Blu-ray collection volume one from Arrow Videos release with 12 Shaw Brothers movies blu ray discs, with thick book inside, cool release from Arrow Videos.
I actually just seen that box set. Looks like another solid effort from Arrow. I just picked up the children of the Corn trilogy and the cat o' nine tails 4k limited edition
A brilliant list of films keith.. I absolutely love the burbs, weird science, and the amazing big trouble in little china.. jack burton what a character.. keep up the great work keith 👍
Hey Kyle. It's funny but I never realised how many great releases arrow Video brought out until I started doing this video. Big trouble is definitely in my top 5 John Carpenter movies and The Burbs is a comedy masterpiece in my mind. As a matter of fact I think I might watch it tonight. Thanks again Kyle for stopping by and checking out my video. I hope you're doing well my friend
@@millerman9991 all good keith thanks.. when u talk about carpenter my favourites would be halloween, the thing, the fog, big trouble in little china, assault on precinct 13 that be my top 5 of his films.. a legend he is..
Without a shadow of a doubt my favourite director of all time. Yeah he lost his way in the 90s but the work that he done in the 70s and 80s is nothing short of outstanding. He's one of those directors I could just watch his movies over and over and never get bored of them
@@millerman9991 his brilliant in fairness.. a great catalogue of movies.. my personal favourite director is spielberg love his stuff too..
The one great thing about Steven Spielberg is consistency. Even now he's still making great movies
the burbs is absolute cult classic and such an underrated film
Honestly I think it's one of my favourite comedies of all time. As a matter of fact I have a lovely mediabook coming of it this week and apparently it has a new HD scan so hopefully it will look better than this release
@@millerman9991 i actually have the arrow release which i agree doesnt look great but i do think it looks a lot better than the dvd release
You're absolutely correct it is no question far better than the DVD. I think my expectations were very high and I was inevitably let down
Arrow Video releasing also Robocop and Mary Shelleys Frankenstein 4K steelbook, My best Arrow Video steelbook are two Lucio Fulci Zombie Flesh Eaters and The Beyond.
Yeah I have RoboCop and Frankenstein pre-order myself. I would do anything to own Flesh Eaters and the beyond on Steelbook editions but they're going for crazy money at the moment and I can never see them coming down in price. I should have pulled the trigger when I had the chance. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video.
Abel Ferrara's Body Snatchers.
Thank u
picked up jack in the box awakening today to go with jack in the box also dillinger on arrow
I can safely tell you now Gary that I heard of none of them.
been watching movies for 30 years. just shy of 3000 among various formats and have NEVER seen ANY of those movies. Familiar with The Thing and Day of the Dead, other than that I got no clue
Wow I'm actually shocked especially because of the fact that you're clearly a massive movie fan. There is definitely some great movies to check out in that top 10. Particularly number one The Burbs. Just a great comedy from Tom Hanks.
Got the mangler on arrow coming Monday
I have not seen that film in years. I didn't even know arrow were bringing it out
@@millerman9991 out mondaY arrow
Hi Keith, a great collection of some memorable films. On a personal note, I wanted to ask you if you're able to help track down certain titles, as I'm looking for a new or used (mint) copy of the Denis Villeneuve Arrival 4K US steelbook, but they're all ludicrously priced right now.
Hey Neil I'll tell you what I will do I will definitely keep an eye out for the 4K Steelbook of arrival. I know the one you're talking about. Whether I can find it for cheap is going to be another thing but I'll definitely keep an eye out for you. The one thing about myself is I always find what I'm looking for somewhere down the line
That’s really kind of you Keith and it sounds like you’ll come up trumps at some point, thank you 🙏🏻 😊
No problem at all
@@millerman9991 Hi Keith, just to make it easier, I'm now following you on Twitter so feel free to DM there is you have any news. Best Neil.
