Armageddon At The Video Store - What Would You Choose?

[Huggs]

Meteors are falling from the sky, the toilets are backing up, and the dead are rising.

You need to escape, but before you do, you have to decide what you will be watching for the rest of your life. What you don't take with you, you'll never see again.

You have access to every movie and show ever made. There is no limit and format is not an issue. What do you choose?

I'd go with

John Carpenters The Thing
Alien 1,2,3
Jaws
Ridley Scott's Hannibal
Godzilla 2014
Heat
Blade runner 1,2
The Edge - Anthony Hopkins
A night to remember
True Grit - John Wayne
Transformers: The Movie - 1986
Hannibal - Tv Series
Bram Stokers Dracula

[TheSailingRabbit]

The Shawshank Redemption
Aliens
Terminator 1 and 2 (for Voodoo)
Twister
Near Dark
The Princess Bride
All six Star Wars
All seasons of MythBusters
Ratatouille
The Incredibles
A Christmas Story
It's A Wonderful Life
Charlotte's Web (2006 version, childhood pleasure)

Am I forgetting anything I might really regret?

No. There's more.

I haven't seen a couple of the things on this list, but I want to. Bad.

[Baron Von Marlon]

Then why don't you? I'm always wondering.
All you need is someone who can get movies from the internet and some device to play them on your tv.

Here's something to start with.

The Thing from Another World (1951)
https://archive.org/details/TheThingFromAnotherWorld_201712

Archive.org has a lot of cool, older stuff. All for free.

[Huggs]

Twister

Had this one on my list, but I've seen it so many times that I could probably afford to leave it behind.

Still might put it back on, it was a massive part of my childhood.

Fantastic film. They just released it on Blu-ray for the first time. I watch it every year on Halloween. A true classic.

No one has any movie streaming services in my house.

I really should be on my own, but I failed my run test in boot camp and I'm trying to get back in the Navy. I have to put movies and collecting on the backburner.

Spoiler

No one in my real life know I'm into this, and I don't know how to explain it to anyone. There's my explanation.

[Baron Von Marlon]

What's there to explain when it's just a movie?

"Hey, person x. Any chance you have that certain movie? Someone told me I should see it."
"You're into that stuff?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it."
