Really? Because it's streamed, isn't there a loss of HD because of the data compression? Don't you have pixelated scenes at times? (Serious question, not trolling)

The Dark Side is STRONG with this one.
Oh man do I have a ton of mathematical data to prove that your brain is being conditioned to enjoy picture quality smothered by vaseline.
I like ownership of my movie plus I hate giving control to my ISP of when I can access my movies.
Streaming is Hasbro.
Bluray disc is Hot Toys.

Yup. Plus Netflix likes to put movies on hiatus from time to time. Annoying. Granted I *do* stream Netflix, but only for 2nd-10th tier movies and originals like Daredevil.
Almost never, though sometimes when it's "buffering" or if the internet is slower than usual (very rare).
Yeah, but that should only matter to you if you were. . .a. . .robot. . .uh, sorry jye. Forget I said anything. Totally off-topic, but aren't robots great? If we ever have robot overlords take over the U.S. military, economic, and political apparatus, I'll be first in line to sign my loyalty oath to them.Oh man do I have a ton of mathematical data to prove that your brain is being conditioned to enjoy picture quality smothered by vaseline.
Well another thing we've discussed in the past is how often you watch older movies you know, vs. getting exposed to new ones. I personally don't spend a lot of time even watching old favorites, and would usually rather watch something I haven't seen before. And Netflix is great for that.
I'm surprised that this wasn't one of the deleted scenes on the blu-ray:
D-Box was great.

I always have this debate with my best friend on movie presentation.
Should the movies from the 70's/80's be viewed in regular 480p to mimick how we viewed them in our childhoods or should those older movies be presented in laser sharp 1080p or even up converted to 4K.
True that 480p is still better than VHS quality, but my friends argument is that it's close enough.
He prefers watching the 70's/80's stuff in 480p, he won't watch Raiders in HD.
I prefer to take the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and blow it up to 4K!
Which do you guys prefer?

But shouldn't it represent how we all saw it in the theater?
I could care less what Star Wars looked like on VHS for the 100th time I viewed it. Or how bad it looked broadcast. It's all about what was imprinted in that first viewing at the movie theater.

Best of both worlds: have Blu-ray as backup and rip it to DRM-free H.264 or H.265 for streaming over your local network.

My movie theater was real crappy growing up.
Sucks. I went to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood -- the old Chinese Theater -- for most big films. No cinematic experience could match it.

Lucky SOB!
I guess that's why i'm a tech nut now, to make up for my crappy theater experiences as a kid.
Damn grindhouse/porno theaters.
I use HD audio with Atmos to listen to the weatherman.

Were the seats sticky?
At the Chinese they were plush... and Asian theater girls would give you massage prior to the show.

Definitely Hi-Def. Can you imagine settling for watching a Kubrick movie or Lawrence of Arabia in 480p when you could watch it in HD? I wouldn't. Even for an 80s movie with fond memories of watching on VHS, I would go for the HD version. As Wor-Gar said, it's closer to the cinema experience, which is the point of home theatre systems and all that.
Also, its as good an excuse as any to restore everything. No Vertigo if it wasn't for restoration. Even Jaws was in a bad way.
