Movie #93, The Blob (1988)
i prefer that cover to the one i have. i guess i might need an upgrade. :P
I have the DVD, an out of print region 4 DVD, a bluray Collector's edition, a 4K/bluray edition and a 4K/bluray steelbook, which is seen in the siggy.
Lol, why is 1 copy never good enough for you?
I told you I'm retarded. A sucker for the upgrade. Especially if it's a steelbook.

Obviously the Thing takes #1 in a landslide, and #2 most likely to the Fly. But I like 13 Ghosts, definite top 10 for me.

Depends I guess. You can look at it in terms of how good the movie is, or you can look at it in terms of how much better it is than the original. You can get different results.
