Now who wants to light the summoning circle for a 4K Blu-ray? – Drew Taylor While some of the sheen of the movie has worn off in the years since its release (particularly its unflattering portrayal of Middle Eastern stereotypes and allegations that the stunt coordinator molested a young Eliza Dushku), it still remains a kicky delight and captures a moment in time when Cameron was more concerned with characters than computer graphics. Like right now! “True Lies,” a loose remake of 1991 French farce “La Totale!” is one of Cameron’s more underappreciated triumphs – a sleek, very funny action movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger is a secret spy and Jamie Lee Curtis is his bored wife who finally uncovers the truth. Occasionally it flits around various streaming services but has yet to find a permanent home and so you have to grab it everytime it pops up. “True Lies,” which has never been released on Blu-ray or in 4K, is one of those movies. – Adam Chitwood True Lies 20th Century Foxįor a director as celebrated and successful as James Cameron, some of his movies are weirdly hard to find, especially in any kind of decent new edition. When a hapless bandit played by Antonio Banderas breaks him out, he sets about training him in the ways of Zorro to help rescue his daughter, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, from the clutches of the man who first put him in prison. Anthony Hopkins stars as the original Zorro, who has been in prison for 20 years. – Adam Chitwood The Mask of Zorro Sony Picturesīefore “The Mummy” or “The Pirates of the Caribbean,” there was “The Mask of Zorro.” The 1998 film is based on the classic TV series of the same name, but director Martin Campbell injects this 19th century-set tale with enough intrigue, adventure and swashbuckling to keep a grin on your face from beginning to end. The trifecta of Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter is phenomenal, and that ending still hits just as hard no matter how many times you’ve seen it. Fincher himself described it as a romantic comedy, and the film is decrying the toxic masculinity that abounds instead of celebrating it – although try telling that to the legion of boys whose main takeaway from the film was that they should start their own fight club. While David Fincher’s seminal 1999 film is still hilarious and searing, it was also widely misunderstood upon release.

If it’s been awhile since you’ve seen “Fight Club,” you’re due for a rewatch.
