Great classic movie at a good price! Speed one of the most entertaining movies I’ve watched. Recommend!
CamelCamelCamel.
Couldn't slow the bus down long enough to include a price in the title?
Pop Quiz Hot Shot! Done folks!
How is this a bargain?
Bad price.
Concur with the lads… I don't think this is a bargain…
It’s on Disney if you have an account
Not at this quality👌
I think it was called… "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.!"
Not die hard on a bus?
Damn beat me to it. You were too speedy
GANG CALLED SPEED BABY
It was during this movie I discovered puberty.
What when keanu was under bollocks skirt looking for a bomb?
Dennis Hopper's brilliance as Howard Payne gave me wood.
I found it while watching Trading Places, thanks to Jamie Lee Curtis.
True Lies JLC stripper scene.
Awesome movie, I grew up watching this a lot. But I reckon it’d be a better bargain at $10-15.
“F$&@ me!”…. “Oh darn!”
90s movie for $20 yeah nah
You can get this usually for $10 during a BOGOF sale.
Only 10 months to go… if stock is still around
or B2G1F + 20% , or the next Perks deal, or Amazon deal…doubt you need to pay $20 for it. But go for it.
Watched this when it first came out on 4K bluray, after not seeing it for a long time. What a great movie! Made me realise how poor movies are done today. It was really fun and great action scenes… This is before Keanu had even got to the bus yet! Lol
Made me realise how poor movies are done today
These comments usually make me realise people are either terribly unaware of their own nostalgic biases or they're watching the wrong type of movie.
I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you, but do you really hold "Speed" up there as a masterpiece of cinema?
I hated that I had to think during Tenet. If I paid for a movie/stream, I expect all the hard stuff to be done for me.
Hopefully, Barbie won’t be too taxing.
Its not a masterpiece but its brilliantly fun and thrilling. Todays movies have lazy cliched writing. The comedy that is just rambling unfunny jokes meant for kids. Instead of making a joke of the situation with good comedic timing. Wouldnt expect the newer gen to understand lol. If you're happy watching todays agenda driven crap then good for you. I havent seen a truly great movie in more than 15 years now. Yes there are very good ones occasionally, or well made, acted etc. But for one to be considered a worldwide hit, ranked in the top 30, 50 or even 100 best all time… no chance
Sounds like perhaps the world has moved faster than your ability to adapt. Past ten years have seen:
Parasite
Decision to Leave
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
Suspiria
Banshees of Inisherin
The Northman
Hereditary
Midsommar
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Drive My Car
Another Round
A Quiet Place
Minari
Little Women
Ladybird
Knives Out
Shoplifters
Paddington 2
Blade Runner 2049
Three Billboards
I could go on. The point is that as we age, we have a fixed taste generally based on the feelings we associated with experiencing new things when we were younger.
There's been "bad" movies in every era and there are great movies now. It's all nostalgia, bias and willingness to empathise and understand
@Faro: I wasnt being serious.
I don't rate either of those movies in their respective order as being better watching experiences than Barbie or Openheimer :)
willingness to empathise and understand
This is a bit ironic.
As far as action movies go, Speed is one of the best. It’s also frequently makes top action movie lists. Maybe you should watch it first before making judgement calls.
If you’re comparing Speed to other movies in general, it’s still good but maybe not the best.
The person you replied to didn’t even use the word “masterpiece”.
@Ghost47: Explain how it's ironic without trying to insinuate I'm somehow unempathetic to his opinion on movies being bad now.
But you've also stated another issue with "opinion" and tastes. Lists really don't mean anything. Lists are just individual opinion and broad popularity regarding pieces of media, confined into a structured numeric standing that has no meaning. Being on a "list" that someone has made about a subjective artform where mundane terminologies like "good" and "bad" are meaningless to the end goals of the work (i.e. money, art, emotion, mass appeal, distraction).
I've never even said Speed is "bad" anyway.
@Faro: And to be fair, action movies aren't exactly high art by any means. They mostly seem to appeal to a male power fantasy that incites anxiety and testosterone rather than tell a story that enhances people's lives in any way beyond discussing with other males about how "cool" a fiery explosion or fast paced sequence was. 😉
@Ghost47: Be more creative please. Me telling people to have a wider appreciation of things seems to be the opposite of snobbery tbh
They mostly seem to appeal to a male power fantasy that incites anxiety and testosterone
This is what I meant by snobby. You think people who enjoy action movies are all meatheads, we get it.
And before you obviously come at me with "well you probably like action movies if you're so offended", it's not that, I'm just offended at how rude you're being when talking about movies. Get over it. Movies are there to be enjoyed, not used as a tool to judge or measure other people by.
@Faro: Oh, so you mean people who watch action movies don't have enough testosterone and rely on action movies to "incite" it. My mistake.
@Ghost47: No.
See the wink.
I played into what you expect me to be because everyone on this site seems to need to make a huge deal out of dumb shit. Like holy cow.
Apparently it's fine to say things are "bad" and praise nostalgia, but when I try and interject to encourage not shitting on things, I'm framed as:
Snobbish
Pretentious
Of poor taste
"Woke"
Etc, etc.
huge deal out of dumb shit.
Like yourself when someone says "movies aren't as good as they used to be"?
I try and interject to encourage not shitting on things
Ok.
"Woke"
Yeah nah I never called you woke nor do I use that as an insult in general.
@Ghost47: I didn't say you. Jesus, dude. It's not a you Vs me thing.
I'm sure you think you're doing a "good" thing by trying to point out where I'm being unacceptable or whatever, but all that does is cause frustration, disconnection, shame and defensiveness.
You're clearly not going to cease or change my mind because you've come in equally as high and mighty as you've claimed I'm being. Stop with the personal attacks and maybe try and deconstruct my point? Cool? Thanks
@Ghost47: If person a holds the position that:
"I like this movie and movies now are bad"
And person b says:
"Movies now are not bad and the movie you hold in high regard may not even be of as high a quality as new movies"
Does that really make person b the "snob"?
"I like this movie and movies now are bad"
They actually have a good point because in your attempt to educate them about how action* movies aren't as good as they used to be, you blurted out a list of movies none of which are actually action movies. This implies that you either don't watch action movies or that there haven't actually been any good or memorable action movies lately.
I don't watch much action but I can't think of many good action movies these days. The main ones that stand out would be the John Wick and the Fast movies, none of which I really enjoyed that much but if people enjoy them I don't really care nor would I think they're not sophisticated enough to enjoy a movie like Parasite.
"Movies now are not bad and the movie you hold in high regard may not even be of as high a quality as new movies"
IMO the measure of a movie is how it makes you feel and what it makes you think. I don't think this kind of thing changes as time goes on. Speed is perfectly fine as an action movie because the white knuckle thrills are still there, just like Die Hard is even though they were both released a while ago.
*I say action specifically because it doesn't make sense at all to say "Speed is such a good movie. All movies suck these days." without implying that you are talking about action movies specifically. Obviously there are plenty of good movies coming out.
Explain how it's ironic without trying to insinuate I'm somehow unempathetic to his opinion on movies being bad now.
That's not what I meant. I meant it's ironic you're going on about "willingness to empathise and understand" when you are making comments as if what the OP was saying was objectively incorrect. OP simply stated they enjoyed the movie and liked it a lot, and then you came in with your snobbery saying it wasn't a "masterpiece" when the OP never even said it was.
Lists really don't mean anything.
So therefore your list means nothing as well then, right?
I've never even said Speed is "bad" anyway.
I disagree, that's pretty much what you're trying to convey with your comments. That somehow liking Speed means you are an unsophisticated braindead pleb.
@Ghost47: That's a lot of extrapolation and projecting of insecurities.
Your assumptions are kinda shallow. Also using "snobbery" (or people's other favourite word "pretentious") is a meaningless attack to try and other someone who dislikes things.
I literally haven't said I disliked anything outside of a light-hearted gest on action movies.
Try harder
@Faro: Not insecure at all.
I like movies a lot. I enjoy all kinds of movies (i.e. genres, foreign cinema, indie films, short films), even ones that are rated poorly from time to time (they're called "guilty pleasures").
Insecurity is acting like the movies you enjoy dictates the kind of person you are.
@Ghost47: The things people put down are more indicators of who they are.
In this case:
New movies = bad
Not too far of an assumption to suggest this person is beyond the age of continued brain development which makes openness to new experience decrease. This is pretty Introductory stuff in terms of psychology.
@Faro: You're assuming they meant all new movies. It doesn't make sense to interpret someone who says "Speed is such a great movie, they don't make them like they used to" as if they are talking about all movies. It makes sense to think they're talking about movies like Speed, i.e. action movies because of how diverse cinema is.
@Ghost47: Stop trying to tell me how diverse cinema is. This month alone I've watched both Spider-verse movies, breakfast club, return of the jedi, I'm a Cyborg, The Third Man, Synecdoche New York, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Rope, Fargo, The Devil's Backbone and Primer. Diversity is fantastic and was also not the f***ing point I was making.
@Faro: I was just explaining my point. I think we can both agree to end it here as this is a silly discussion.
I was actually watching clips of it last night on YouTube. Such a great movie.
Maybe a bargain at $10 but $20 for this movie is a bit much
Bloody hell this is expensive for such an old movie!
IMHO this isn't a 'must see in 4k' movie to warrant such a price.
not a deal
Price and store in title please
