Excellent movie, stupid price

I remember this film from when I was a kid.  Why the outrageous price?!?!?  Dont be silly.  It'll be on DVD soon, so be realistic.

Okay.  We have another Lovecraftian tale.  Not a true adaption by any means, mind you, but a close shave, all the same.  It hints at a pre-human earth ruled by evil creatures, who have tried to control modern man with telepathy.  That's sure HPL stuff I ever heard it.

Aside from having cheesy old-school effects, the story is very strong and most defintely worth a watch.

I'd wait until the pirce comes down before buying though.

This was exactly like the picture. However, the price was high (I know supply and demand). I had purchased this set before the movie ever came out for $15, this time around I purchased it for more than double that price.

this is quite possibly one of my favorite movies. and i love the night owl ship case. i was looking for a display piece for the movie but found most models and statues extremely expensive. this is awesome. i'm about to dive into the special features now. buy this. love it!

i am wondering though, if this is amazon exclusive why would they put a price tag of $119 if they will never sell it for that much? just seems weird.

and the ship freaks out my wife's cats. added bonus.

It has been ages since I saw this in the theater.  However ...  $328.97?  For a DVD?  Uh-uh.

I really like this movie, but I think it's insane that I had to pay ten bucks for the NON-HD version of this streamed movie. Seriously, that's way too expensive. My cousin persuaded me to buy it so she could watch it (she'd been asking for over a year). Darn my weak will (when it comes to family/friends)! By the way, the star rating is for the actual movie, not the stupid price. (Can you believe the streamed HD version is $18?! WTF?! SMH)

I love this movie.  It's funny and makes me nostalgic because I was just a kid when it came to theaters.  The acting is great and the situations are funny.  I just wish some studio would re-release the movie!  Look at the other '80s teen movies on this site: $6.99-$12.99.  This one: starting at $54!!! No way! Hopefully, in time, they will release it in an anniversary edition or something.  Then I'll definitely buy it.

This movie is so good and it was such a good deal that I feel I should give Amazon more money. Of course I won't, but that's how good a masterpiece this is; that I'd pay somebody who had no part in making it.

I love the Dean Martin tongue-in-cheek spie movies he made in the sixties. I recall he made at least two. I have purchased Austin Powers, James Bond, Derek Flint, and any other agent movies on DVD. I am happy to see my fellow reviewers here gave me a heads up on this DVD. I might have blundered into buying it for a price that is obviously outragious for the product. Anything priced like this should not only be completely whole and uncut, it should include great extras like commentary by director and cast, the making of it feature, original trailers, bios, photos, and more. Needless to say this not only doesn't have much in this regard they butchered the movie as well. Thanks again for letting me know Amazon reviewers! To update everyone if you don't know it you can now buy all four of the Matt Helm movies in a "Matt Helm Lounge" set for $25.99. Why in the world would anyone pay $21.99 for just "The Silencers"?

I used to watch this movie when it was on regular TV for FREE back when I was a girl. I have always enjoyed it, so much that I'd watch it every chance I could. Now I own it & it has made an exceptional addition to my collection. Unfortunetely the only copies you can find are the ones picked up by non-caring sellers of price like actcdc who we purchased ours from. There are sellers that choose to rob the customers wallet just because they think their merchandise is made of golden plastic. I mean really just how much did it cost anyway to make this DVD? I bet it wasn't over $30 like what I was soaked for. New in stores, when it was released it was most likely less than $20. Big deal if you can't find it everywhere. That is no excuse for overcharging the customer. At the very most, the movie/DVD should have cost $20. So the movie is funny & extreme so buy it if you have money to burn. I did ONLY because it filled a missing piece of my life. It is very good & I hope all who buy will enjoy it too. Thanks

Really good movie. Everything was good with it except i pre ordered this movie and they guaranteed that if i pre ordered this movie the price would be lower than the price of it when it comes out in stores. And so i bought it for 24.99 and now the price for it in the store is 24.99! That's false advertising!!

I absolutely love this but it is over 10 years old and should not cost $12.00. For just $8.00 more you can just buy a new that just went on DVD. However if you lower the price to like $5-$8 I would be more likely to buy it

This is the ONLY affordable 4K movie on the market, priced less than a standard BluRay, and the quality is outstanding.  The film is excellent, a respectable adaptation of one of my favorite sci-fi novels.

if the film studios would wake up and release all of their movies in UHD 4K the same way they have with Ender's Game, the 4K market would explode, and everybody would more rapidly convert their hardware over to this new standard.  I just don't understand why hardware manufacturers and studios don't collaborate on helping new formats evolve more rapidly by selling content at affordable prices.  I can't afford $40 for every new UHD that comes out.

This movie is the standard for how film studios should release content.  I'd buy every decent movie in UHD if they were all priced this low.

Great movie. No way Id pay $19 for it. The price Id pay would be $10, because I really liked this movie.

I love all three of these movies. They are great comedies and I could watch them over and over again. But at the current ~$54 price tag, I would much rather purchase the three movies separately on Blu-ray at their current prices. $9.99 each for&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-40-Year-Old-Virgin-Blu-ray/dp/B001CW7ZV2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The 40-Year-Old Virgin  [Blu-ray</a>] and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Knocked-Up-Blu-ray/dp/B001CW7ZUS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Knocked Up [Blu-ray</a>]. $10.49 for&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Forgetting-Sarah-Marshall-Blu-ray/dp/B001C0JCBK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Forgetting Sarah Marshall [Blu-ray</a>].

Don't get me wrong, the idea of having these three in a collection is great. Just try to make it completely worthwhile.

Although I love this movie with all my heart and soul; it is so ridiculous to me that Amazon is selling this item for $245.00 & only offering a gift card for $2.50 for an old copy someone else may have. WHAT A RIP !!!!  The price and the scam I give NO stars to, but I have to give the movie 5 stars; what a great piece of entertainment !

I bought mine for only $5.99 (used) plus $3.99 shipping, from Crown Media, an Amazon merchant.  It was shrink-wrapped like it was brand new!  This is the version to get if you want to "study" this film.  Three different "cuts" (versions) of the film. Lots of extras.  Very good Blu-ray transfer.
