My favorite list to make is the "Worst of" list which used to be really popular but seems to have become less so over the years (at least in mainstream media). This year there were a bunch of films that I didn't like along with a few I downright hated.

Every year, I compile a list of the home media purchases I made during that year and hammer it down to the ten purchases that made my year. I include all different formats because I am not a snob for any one format. This is the 2023 edition of that list.

One of the first horror films of the 90s makes its 4K debut courtesy of Scream Factory

Eureka! Entertainment has gifted us three 90s Jet Li films (The Enforcer, Dr. Wai in "The Scripture with No Words", and Hitman) and they have done an outstanding job with them.

Jackie Chan's first American outing is given the deluxe blu-ray treatment from 88 Films.

Arrow Video has such sights to show us with this lovely set that brings the Cenobites into 4K.

Troma makes the leap to 4K with this collection of the four Toxic Avenger films.

I worked for Hollywood Video for 4 and a half years and this is just one of many stories I have to tell.

The Scream Queen Hot Tub Party blu-ray from Retromedia should serve as an example of how NOT to release standard definition video on blu-ray.

The "other" film Jackie Chan made in 1992, Twin Dragons is an incredibly fun flick that gives us double the Jackie Chan action.

Arrow Video delivers yet another beautiful set with the Psycho Collection, which brings all four films (not the remake) to 4K blu-ray for the first time with spectacular results.

Ghoulies, the monster film with one of the most infamous posters of all time, gets a really nice 4K release from MVD

Two of the best shot-on-video movies I have ever seen, Attack of the Killer Refridgerator and The Hook of Woodland Heights, get a surprisingly nice blu-ray with a ton of special features that span the entire Media House Films filmography.

After what seemed like forever, we finally have a blu-ray of the Allison Anders / Alexandre Rockwell / Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino anthology film, Four Rooms.

Another video store classic, Bikini Drive-In, comes to blu-ray with a stacked disc loaded with special features and nice video and audio.

At long last, we get Bruce Lee in 4K and Arrow Video has gone above and beyond with this set with each film being presented in multiple versions along with tons of special features. This is the set to end all Bruce Lee sets.

One of the best action films of the 1990s finally gets the blu-ray release it deserves.

Imprint Films brings an Italian classic in its original form, not the bastardized Miramax version, is it worth it?

Mallrats is a film that I love and the fine folks over at Arrow Video have put together a really nice package with this two-disc blu-ray set, filled with special features along with a nice remastered picture. Fans will love this set and they should because it is that good.

Arrow Video releases one of the best blu-ray sets of 2023 with Enter the Video: Empire of Screams, which brings together five classics from the legendary Empire Pictures and loads this set with a ton of special features.

For years, fans were begging for a director's cut of the Albert Pyun / Jean Claude Van Damme classic, Cyborg, and the good folks over at DigiDreams have finally given us Pyun's director's cut.
