- Facebook Marketplace can be a gold mine every now and again. I do not own a laserdisc player but I’m going to have to be on the lookout for one now. Laserdiscs are a pretty cool piece of technology (even if there is a lot of flipping of discs involved) and I can’t wait to see what these movies look like on my TV.

The videodiscs are not two copies. It's one movie spread over 2 disc's.
didnt see this in the comments yet - some of those are CEDs, not laserdiscs. look into that :). grats on the haul!
As I have started getting into LD collecting, I like the idea of getting some movies that don’t exist in newer formats, so it’s like you are a curator of pure art. I have a couple that aren’t on newer disc formats, so I now feel a personal responsibility to keep a hold of it. BTW, the Physical LD is a “video album,” as I like to call it, where they made the album as music videos instead of getting just the album. I just got it on Monday as a curiosity at a Half Price Books, and for what it is, it is interesting. Enjoy the haul!
You’ll love that Nightshift great movie promise
Absolutely an '80s comedy classic, still Howard's best movie. :)
As a fellow LaserDisc collector, congratulations on the haul! Very hard this day and age to get a big lot for such a low price. Tex Avery and Florida Straits are absolute bangers! The value on those alone is worth the cost of the lot and then some. Good luck in the future on finding a player. Keep hitting the thrifts, you may get lucky one day.
I’m going to try and find one but when I do I have a great collection to watch
The U2 Disc. Got me most excited. Nice Collection you got your hands on 😃
I gave my Pioneer laser disc player and 60 movies away to the Goodwill years ago when DVDs came out.
Oh man,you dit'n know better back then,
Some great stuff there, that Fawlty Towers collection alone is probably worth a ton of money and you got all these for 40 bucks.👍Quicksilver, Sharky's Machine and Fatal Beauty are real overlooked '80s gems. Some of the movies I fear, are very early releases thus bound to be pan & scan versions making them quite unwatchable like King Kong, The Black Hole, The Omen, The Fog and The Thing, I'd imagine. The Panavision movies got their original aspect ratio releases some time later, I have the Universal LaserDisc of The Thing and it's great they had such classic design for their letterbox LD covers. Of course, one has to zoom the picture because any letterboxed ones are for old 4 : 3 TVs and not anamorphic, just saying to those that may be more unfamiliar with LD. Also, if you can go for a player that plays both sides (after a brief layer change pause) otherwise you'll have to leave the sofa and flip the disc over, which you'll have to do anyway with movies on 3 or 4 sides. 📀
I think what you thought were two Steve Martin discs, one didn't have a cover, are all part of one set. I had Steve martin Live on VHS back in the day.
I'm sure that the laser disk. That you have double It is split up because. It is split up because they didn't have enough room on one side. It's not the same movie twice.
I can't even be happy for you, you don't own a player and you paid $40 for that box... dude the Jaws Discovision was the 1st Laserdisc ever released... there are so many 1st class items in that box I just can't.... as an owner of a laserdisc player (twice over, 30 years ago and now again) what you have in that box makes me cry...
I got rid of all of my delays or disks except for a couple. I still have my player and. My son has the laser desks that I kept when I downsized. Those movies were incredibly expensive at the time.
Very nice score, I have a little over 400 laser discs and counting.
The black hole came out in 1979 and the black caldron was a cartoon. That came out in 1985. It was Disney's only PG Cartoon feature.
The Playboy one looks interesting 🤔 Anyway... great collection, an absolute bargain for $40.
Absolutely amazing to see these, what a tote!!
Elephant parts is a comedy of different skits if remember right . Ben on oddity archive talked about it once . Marty is a cute dog . There is only a couple of people I know the have laser discs players all have UA-cam channels
Ben from oddity archive . And Dave aka Cinema sickness . Those are the only ones I know
Still have the u2 laserdiscs?
Just bought a player. You’re a lucky guy. Enjoy that playboy!
I like Good Squid for Japanese Laserdiscs. But the shipping from Japan to the US is high.
As a diehard U2 fan, love those U2 discs.
I HAVE 3 panasonic laserdisc players all in working order PAL / NTSC formats and over 100 dicss laserdiscs are my favorites well done on a great find get a player and enjoy all the best from Scotland a fan of laserdiscs By the way videodisc are
not laserdisc mate thay are RCA Player with a needle
I still have my pioneer laserdisc player it's in excellent condition unfortunately I only have 10 movies for it
If the movie was really long it usually take two ced disks
some of those aren't laser disc but RCA selectavision more like video records
I woud also put those on my walls but there is so much posters and stuff on it already i dont have any space.
Do you live somewhere close to Nashville tn? I'm about 40 minutes south of Nashville and saw a fb post the other day, big laserdisk sale. Either way, congrats man
Nope I’m an Iowa man
ah, so you don;t have a laserdisc. Me neither. The idea of having one appeals to me though.
you do have have some of my favourite movies there.
HEAVEN CAN WAIT (remake of a 40's movie called Here comes Mr Jordan, although there is also a film from around the same period called Heaven can Wait,
NIGHT SHIFT
sLAPSOT
UP IN SMOKE
tHE fRENCH CONNCTION
Airplane
Barbarella
Also Fawlty Towers tv series.
I would like to have the Tex Avery too.
Is Sorcerer, the directors cut. If so, it's terrific. Remake of an excellent french movie called The Wages of Fear.
Didn't think much of that King Kong version. Jessica lange was terrific in it though.
Hope you get that laserdisc.
the Mike Nesmith disc isn't a movie its early long form music video
Quick silver is a great movie
Tron has to be my favorite that are phantasm I paid 59 dollars for my laserdisc payer last year
Man that White Music LD is cool.
Growing up, my experience with laser disc was my high school science classes: they had a Pioneer player and a few discs: do remember being impressed about its interface with chapter selections. I might find some of the U2 titles interesting, as there's not many blu-rays for sale right now. Laserdisc might still be cool for the large artwork, or maybe there were some esoteric treasures that never made it to anamorphic DVD/HD...but certainly the video quality wouldn't hold a candle to blu-ray or 4K on my current OLED TV (and many of these movie titles I have on 4K, or I know are HD).
100 discs for $40? That 'Fawlty Towers' alone is at least $30. NICE. (just started watching the video)
Yeah I got a heck of a deal on it
@@steelbookobsessed In case you're interested, I have a playlist on the format: ua-cam.com/play/PLU5h29uZLH9Llefjg1V_CtXs5NCNT6vw4.html
You have so many releases.
Well no shit
As much as I love Lasers and the gems in this video….MY GOD this kid’s lack of knowledge and horrible enunciation was CRINGE. Anyone else annoyed by this guy? I never leave negative comments but I just couldn’t stay quiet. Great purchase for $40!
I did cringe when he said Jacques Cousteau, lol.
You lost me when you said you didn't watch Battlestar Galactica...
I hated hearing you say youll pass on the monkees. As a big monkees fan i was excited to see them and mike nesmith
It was just before my time. Really don’t know too much about them.
@@steelbookobsessed yeah that makes sense. It's before my time as well. I was born in 2001 but I just love them
Sadly I bet most have laser rot....
I’ve checked a bunch of them and have yet to find any disc rot. I think them staying in this tub helped out a lot.
@@steelbookobsessed Contrary to popular belief, not all discs automatically have rot, only a few pressing plants had issues. Of my over 400 discs, only 10 have rot.
@@steelbookobsessed very lucky sir..🤞💪 nice score ...
Typically there was a lot of laser right on the disco vision brand
@@kenpope5798 Correct, they were the worst! Very early disc production.
