What media have you found in best quality or even only with the methods of the high seas?
I am not looking for: “I only use my super jellyfin and so on setup because its almost free”. But rather I want to hear if you found rare pieces of media which are maybe even lost otherwise.
I recently looked into Buffy the Vampire slayer rips and there is a fan made AI upscaled version that seemed like currently the best option besides original DVDs.
Star Wars despecialized edition.
In 1997 George Lucas updated the original trilogy with new special effects, and every release since then has been the new special edition.
Fans have gone through a painstaking archival effort to track down the “despecialized” original release in as high quality as possible.
I fear none of these are exactly gems… but they were definitely not available at the store:
Abducted By The Daleks/Daloids (2005) - Basically a softcore Dr. Who knockoff that appears to have been made with actual BBC props.
Probably already well known around here: Kung Fury (2015) is a very cool 80’s style short film. If somehow you have not seen it, please do so now. I think it’s a free download.
TV
Shock and Awe: The Story of Electricity (2011) is a BBC 3-Part series covering early pioneers/inventors from the Bagdad Battery up through modern power grids.
Speed with Guy Martin (2013) is another good BBC miniseries. This is just kind of fun, each episode is separate challenge to set a speed record with a unique form of transportation ranging from cycling endurance to turbo charged racing vans.
Kung Fury is just on youtube, and apparently Kung Fury 2 is supposed to come out in November.
ive got the full run of Columbo… show spanned like 30 years if you include specials
