Jaws (1975) 50th Anniversary Edition 4K – was $30, now only $23
Jaws celebrated its 50th anniversary last month, making this the perfect time to pull the trigger on one of Steven Spielberg’s masterpieces. When a great white shark terrorizes a New England beach town, Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and grizzled boat captain Quint (Robert Shaw) embark on a dangerous quest to kill the ocean’s apex predator.
Backed by a memorable score and a sensational story, Jaws remains one of the greatest and most influential blockbusters of all time and deserves to be in your collection.
The Dark Knight Trilogy Collection (2017) 4K – was $75, now only $35
Why buy one of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies when you can own all three? The Dark Knight trilogy collection includes Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises.
Over the course of three movies, Nolan explores the origins of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), from his days as an orphan to his transformation into a billionaire playboy who, at night, protects Gotham City as the Caped Crusader. To this day, Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy remains one of the high marks for comic book movies.
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019) 4K – was $31, now only $18
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is, dare I say, Quentin Tarantino’s true masterpiece. Serving as Tarantino’s love letter to the medium he adores, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood follows an aging actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Brad Pitt) struggling to navigate the industry’s transition into New Hollywood.
While OUATIH includes Tarantino’s witty dialogue and a violent conclusion, it’s also the director’s sweetest and most personal movie to date.
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (2020) 4K – was $68, now $55
Travel to Middle-earth and experience Peter Jackson’s epic movie trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Based on the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings follows Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and his quest to destroy the powerful One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. Frodo’s adventure is told across three movies — The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King.
The Oscar-winning trilogy is a crowning achievement for the fantasy genre and paved the way for critically acclaimed shows like Game of Thrones and The Rings of Power.
These movies only represent a small portion of the eligible selections for Prime Day’s 3-for-2 promotion. View the entire section on Amazon. Good luck curating your physical media collection!
