@seinfeldfanatic Have you tried getting the DVD instead? That's how I saw it. Considering getting the Blu-ray later on, but currently costs twice the amount of the DVD. What streaming service is The Substance on in the US? Maybe, that's an option?

Have no idea what other horror film is recently released on DVD / Blu-ray? Saw, Renfield last year and that's a blast. If you haven't seen that then I recommend watching that. Personally, I like to watch Alien Romulus, but Disney does not release physical media in Australia anymore, so if I want to watch any Alien, Marvel, Indiana Jones, Disney, Pixar films I must subscribe to their streaming service, which I don't want to.

I finished watching Goodfellas ,for the first time, this morning and loved it. I especially enjoyed the fact that it was apparently based on a true story. Truly a tour-de-force of American gangsterism. I heard that The Irishman and Casino are good movies as well. Can anyone else recommend similar that I might enjoy?

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN OK so welcome to the wonderful back-catalogue of Scorsese movies! (he directed and also co-wrote Goodfellas)

Goodfellas is one of my favorite movies of all time — and I'd highly advocate you check out another Scorsese movie… «The Departed». NO SPOILERS — it basically focusses on a police plant (played by Leo DiCaprio) who infiltrates the local mob/mafia. But at the same time, the mob have their own plant in the police system (played by Matt Damon). So each camp, police and mob, both have a plant in the opposite group — with each trying to flush each other out.

Utterly brilliant, with a career highlight from Mark Wahlberg of all people!

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Casino is good. Sharon Stone's performance in particular imo. It is long though, and not quite as good as Goodfellas but required viewing for any cinefile.

The Irishman I didn't care for that much. But definitely recommend The Departed as well.

Finally checked out «The Marvels» — can't remember
