Seems most titles in the sale are published by Shock entertainment who have a spotty track record for quality (apparently Dazed and Confused and Ordinary People look like old DVD releases moved over to Blu without so much as a menu system or chapters), but your mileage may vary. If you're used to streaming all your movies, these may even look like an upgrade!

I picked up a few that I hadn't seen before including:
The Machinist
A Night At The Roxbury
The Ring One and Two (USA versions)
The Tenant
The Game

Might be something worthwhile for someone

      Does "woke" just mean "things I struggle to comprehend, but my mates don't like, so I'm not going to try to adapt and instead call it woke" to you?

      I don't care for Netflix, but the usage of the word "woke" is getting very boring very quickly

                  @BargainHunterJohnnyB: So everything should remain "conventional" (a standard that is largely subjective and fluid based on culture) and free of queer representation so that that community can continue to feel isolated because it makes straight, usually white, males uncomfortable?

                          @BargainHunterJohnnyB: I looked up the definition of queer and, unless you want to conflate it with the other definitions which would be inaccurate to your word usage given the context, and found:
                          "denoting or relating to a sexual or gender identity that does not correspond to established ideas of sexuality and gender, especially heterosexual norms."

                          Or

                          "Queer, in sexual politics, description of sexuality that rejects normative definitions of appropriate feminine and masculine sexual behaviour. More contemporary meanings of queer have been picked up and used by activists and academics to mark movements within sexual identity politics and theoretical frameworks for understanding gender and sexuality. Queer, however, is a contested term: scholars and activists constantly disagree on what queer means and the way in which it should be used."

                          So seeing as scholars and activists can't come to a uniform agreement on the term, it seems to fall apart unless you explain your subjective understanding of the word which would also possibly reveal your own biases and insecurities in the process, so I understand your deflections, use of the word "woke" and repetitive usage of the low hanging fruit/strawman of your female viking.

                          Come back when your argument is less full of logical fallacies and emotional reasoning disguised as "norms".

              @BargainHunterJohnnyB: As is usually the case with these things, the history you are complaining about being "brainwashing" is actually completely accurate and historically correct. It's just that it doesn't conform to the ill-informed, false, white hetero-normative narrative you've never properly questioned.

              Here's a quick link for you from a historian talking about African Vikings: https://scandinaviafacts.com/were-there-ever-african-vikings…
              Who am I kidding, you won't do any research; here's a quote:

              "There were African Vikings, although their numbers were likely small. Norse society was more diverse that is usually portrayed, and black and brown people could assimilate into it."

              …

              "There is, however, at least one instance of a brown Viking queen from a Norse kingdom in Present-day Norway.

              Queen Ljufvina, the wife of King Hjor of Avaldsnes, has clearly been described as having black skin."

              Why are you putting in so much energy to protect a false history now that it is being accurately portrayed?

      PS4 or 5 or even Xbox One will be absolutely fine for standard Blu-ray. Ps5 is apparently also a decent enough 4k Blu-ray player, but lacks some higher end features of standalone players.

        PS5 was very late in the game of 4k Blu-ray. It's a feature which in my opinion the PS4 Pro should of had.

        Xbox One S and X both had the ability of being a 4k Blu-ray player using the Blu-ray Player app. I have both. This was years before the PS5 was ever heard of. Seems to work fine.
