Every since I got my Blu-ray player a couple years ago, I prefer to collect the Blu-ray movies over the traditional DVDs. This month I have added two movies to my collection that I recommend you see too!
The first movie I recommend adding is People Like Us. I wanted to see this in the theater but didn’t never get a chance. I have a copy of People Like Us on Blu-ray and watched it last weekend. For those that like the drama movies that have inspiration, you will definitely want to watch too!
People Like Us is a great but emotional movie that is inspired by true life events about Sam, a young and fast-talking salesman whose latest deal collapses the day he learns of his father’s sudden death. Sam is then called home to put his father’s estate in order where he finds out about an estranged sister and nephew that he never knew existed. His life then turns upside down as he tries to get to know a family he barely knows.
Take a peek at the People Like Us video clip below:
The second movie that I recommend adding to your Blu-ray collection is one of my FAVORITE movies growing up, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. I don’t know about you, but I was excited to find out that this was coming out on Blu-ray and couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
This movie originally premiered back in in 1982 when I was only 6 years old and it definitely captured the imaginations of people of all ages. When E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial came out in theaters, it became one the biggest blockbusters of the year and was ranked the #1 movie for over 16 different weekends. I loved the movie so much that I used to have E.T stuffed animals and toys and know I probably have seen this movie at least a few dozen times if not more. I also remember trying to imitate the voice of E.T. when I was young. 🙂
This month, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial celebrated its 30th Anniversary with its first-ever release on Blu-ray™ released on October 9, 2012. The new Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Combo pack includes the originally 1982 theatrical movie, an all-new interview with director Steven Spielberg, and “The E.T. Journals” that feature never-before-seen footage from the set of the film. As an extra bonus, this Blu-ray™ Combo Pack also includes UltraViolet™, a DVD and a Digital Copy of the film, offering fans a chance to relive the mystery, laughter and wonder of the iconic movie anytime, anywhere on the platform of their choice.
Right now you can buy E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Anniversary Edition Combo Pack on sale at Amazon for only $19.99.
