Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

. I could watch these on Netflix or buy a DVD for less, but it’s not the same

It’s better. These are films. Seeing film on a better, higher resolution format is always closest to the theatrical experience. I loved LD in the 90s, because it was the only way to see movies in proper aspect ratio at home. Now it’s standard. Blu-Ray/4K/Streaming is awesome and movies look like film.

Just make sure to turn off post processing & smooth-o-vision if your TV has that on as default. Maybe that’s why you’re looking at older shit? Does your TV look like a soap opera? That’s just a setting. Turn it off, and all your 90s action movies will look correct at 24fps.
