Apple today launched a new iTunes Movies sale centering around 4K HDR bundles, allowing Apple TV 4K owners to further expand -- or start -- their 4K film collections at a cheaper price. The bundles are divided up by studios and further split into four main genre categories under each studio: Action and Adventure, Comedy, Drama, and Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Most of the bundles are $19.99 for three movies, although some rise to $22.99 and $24.99 depending on the studio.

When listing an object that has a comma in its title (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) am I incorrect to say that a semicolon should be used instead of the comma in the list?

In the U.K. we have had an offer on called ‘Tis the season. There’s a new offer every day. We got die hard in 4 k the other day and today’s deal is The Wall although it’s not in 4K. We also got all 3 of the new planet of the soles flicks for 12 quid the other day.
 
I might be the only one who enjoyed Jupiter Ascending. I have a thing for space operas. Of course, $20 is worth it for Blade Runner (The Final Cut) alone.

Who and Why do you rent or buy movies nowadays? I'm wondering who re-watches the same movie more than once?

The only movie I watched more than once was Napoleon Dynamite (like 10 times). I'm on netflix, amazon prime video, hbo. What is the appeal to renting or buying movies? Just wondering

Watching movies are fun. Rewatching some of my favorite movies is fun. The nostalgia? The happy feelings a favorite movie can bring? I have a few hundred movies in my iTunes collection and will happily rewatch many of them and will probably watching them all even more in the next few years as my daughter grows up. Me and my wife rewatching The Middle Earth movies pretty much annually. Same with Star Wars. Same with the MCU movies. We have dozens of musicals (old and new) that we enjoy. Plus you get all of the special features with iTunes Extras. Movies are just like music to me. It's easy to rewatch and enjoy.

Regardless of the complaints posted in this thread so far, these are some great intro prices. I glad to see that the push into 4K is finally starting to happen this year.

These random bundles are always an awful idea. If you have a lot of iTunes movies already, chances are good you already have at least one of the movies in the bundle, meaning you’re buying it again to get the other movies, thus reducing the savings. And chances are low you’re actually going to want all of the movies in the bundle, so you’re paying for movies you don’t want.

What would be great is if you could get a credit for movies in bundles you already own. So for example if I own 1 Thor movie that I bought individually and later a 4-movie Thor bundle comes out that contains my movie, I could get partial credit for having already owned part of it.
