I also started with laserdisc in 1993. My first was Jurassic Park.
My first laserdisc was Top Gun sometime in 1988, the audio was stereo. Audio formats have come a long way
I never did Laserdisc but I did buy a lot of HD DVD discs and only lasted about a year.Me too, it was wild times in those days. The good ole format war days lol

My first laserdisc was Jurassic Park for like $45 as well! I remember ordering Goldfinger on Criterion soon after! I watched my laserdiscs so often. Only ended up getting up to about 20 titles. Star Wars, Indiana jones, Godfather trilogies were played nonstop!

I still have like 600 Laserdiscs. Had about 1000 at most.
And to circle back to movie updated. I was hoping that the longer version of Dead Poets Society finally was released outside of Laserdisc now with the new 4K release but it's still stuck on Laserdisc.

You better stop. You are going to cause a divorce if I come home with a LD player.

I got a LaserDisc around then and started with Indiana Jones and Casablanca.My first laserdisc was Top Gun sometime in 1988, the audio was stereo. Audio formats have come a long way
I'll always remember that Indiana Jones disc because I saw a reflection of a snake in the glass used to protect Mr. Ford from the cobras.
This! Is why I want LD. It was before G. Lucas raped our collective childhoods. Same with SW. I want the original versions, not the wiped versions that we have today. I’d assume that The Abyss and T2 are the same.
Cmon fellas how about taking this talk to another thread. I keep getting notifications of what I hope is news on Cinematic titles only to be met by talk of ancient tech.
Can we move the LD and dead format conversation to a new thread and keep this clear for just the Movie Updates?
Looks like The Frighteners got added in 4k, but then it went to HD? When you click on HD tab it does show 4k as a option.

I noticed that too. Hopefully they correct this and give it the full complement it deserves. One of my all time favorite movies.

That’s a pleasant surprise. Now I’m hoping they do the same for The Frighteners.
Guess I should have waited to watch. Oh well. Guess I'll have to watch it again. Oh darn.....
Curious to see how this plays out. Apple already has DV but no Atmos. K normally mirrors digital release offerings.
For physical media releases, Atmos only appears to be available on the Directors Cut. I have the 4K German / Turbine Media import just for the Atmos. Arrow’s upcoming release will be DTS-HD for the standard version and Atmos for the Directors Cut.
So will a Director’s Cut become available on digital / Kaleidescape to even have the option?
