Excellent purchase.

I paid £10.99 from Amazon and didn't feel ripped off at that price for those five films.

I've been meaning to pick it up for a while. The box is slightly scuffed here and there but certainly not deal breakingly so for the price. The Under Siege films are action classics and I remember really liking Hard to Kill though I've not seen it in 20 years. Executive Decision I wasn't too impressed with but my older eyes may well see it differently. Nico will be a first time for me.

Nico's the worst of the set but still enjoyable enough.

I first saw Executive Decision so it came as a genuine shock when events unfolded as they did. I really like it.

Hard to Kill has always been great and for me, as with you, the Under Siege films are action classics.

To be honest I've not seen much more of Seagals output really. Certainly none of the endless DTV films that all look much the same.

Under Siege 2 is that special kind of lunacy that came from that period imho. ENJOY!!!

I went to buy Edge of Sanity but ended up buying 2 new releases as well. Saw a clip of the Taylor film and it was good so I’m excited to watch it this weekend.

I really fancy seeing Enys Men. Can stream on BFI player if I subscribe. There’s a few others on BFI I wouldn’t mind catching so I might get a wee month’s subscription and watch as many as I can. I’m always nervous to subscribe to any of these streaming services cause I have so many discs I’ve still go get through, but always end up picking a streaming service cause I figure that ill always have the discs but won’t always have the subscription! Don’t want to end up with another ‘forever’ Netflix account

Default What Have You Bought Recently?

Just pay for your month, and cancel it right away so you don’t accidentally keep paying. I do it every now and then with Arrow.

BFI Player is far more than just the BFI releases though. It’s a good one.

These four slipcase editions just arrived with me from the arrow sale. I’ve bought 9 films - these four plus the Empire of Screams box - in the last month! I can’t remember the last time I had such a binge!

Any fans of these four?

The Last Matinee is good, I really liked it. A bit of an 80's styled giallo homage.

I've seen Hell High and it was interesting
