A Bullet Is Waiting (1954)

Yeah, I think the involvement from the big studios, often leads to a far too big and dramatic jump in "quality", especially back in the early 90s with the surprise success hits of the first Darkman movie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles release, where sadly both would be followed by much weaker and watered down films, which never quite hit the same heights as the originals. Still fun, but if they had been done with more of the same freedom and creativity as the first ones, I believe they would be, at least better and probably hell up much stronger, rather than being remembered as the lesser ones in those short lived franchises.

I am glad Neeson found his home within the (a bit late, but better than never) action genre, but I can see why he wants to back out, if not someone might bring along another game changer like the Taken film (for Neeson that is), and maybe he might move on to some darker villainous roles again, as the one in Batman Begins surely was one of the stand out of the 00s.

Even thought I had owned a DVD copy of The Crow (1994) since around 2001 or 02, I actually believe I picked it up, because I could not find it longer on VHS, and had yet not bought me a DVD player, so it kind of got "stuck" behind all these others films I later on got on DVD, and when I finally saw it, many, many years later (fall of 2017), I had already seen a few of the other Crow releases, some I thought were very bad or lousy, and a few other, not that much, but it did not really make a good "warm up" for the original.

However, when I got around to see the first release, I loved the tone and atmosphere, the soundtrack, and yet, I felt kind of disappointed. Not sure what I had in mind, but maybe the expectations and hype surrounding it, and being built up, for so long, it just was not meant to be, at least for me. However, I am planning on return this fall, as I feel it fits in with the late fall, rainy and dark nights, maybe along with similar looking/themed films, like Sin City or Dark City, but I have a feeling it will do better on a re-watch.

Speaking of Darkman, I think they even made a tv-show out of it, but probably one which were very short lived.
As a kid, I got quite confused, thought that The Shadow (1994) was Darkman and vice versa. Did not learn or pick up on the fact that Sam Raimi had to create his own super hero, as he did not get a hold of the rights (I think) to make his version of the Shadow, but gotta say, that is kind of cool, getting the chance of making your own super hero, and one which I think resulted in the much better and more enjoyable film, even though The Shadow 90s version, is also very impressive in style and tone, but the story and characters, well, I do not think it quite reaches the same as with those we meet up with, in Darkman.

Yeah, I can relate to having heard about sites like Tubi and Shudder, but somehow they will not work out, at least where I live. Hopefully, that might change some day, as I feel kind of "left" out a bit, still there is just so much lying around for free on Youtube, and other sites, and so little time, to only pick out a few, every once and then.
As with you, I do prefer to go with the physical formats, both with music, movies and books, but there is sadly a lot of very, very hard to find films, which also often are ridiculously overpriced, so much, that I feel that there is absolutely no way, I would hand out that kind of crazy money, for just one album or movie, no matter how much I would want it.

Speaking of Fright Night 2 (1988), that one had been on my radar for years, where I was almost tempted to dish out a few times, but had read and heard some very nasty stuff about the old Artisan (I believe) DVD release, and that the picture quality was absolute terrible, and then last year, I "stumbled" upon the film in very impressive quality upload at Youtube, and I think it is probably there still, so one can watch it for free. 
But yeah, sadly it just did not live up to my hope and expectations. It was not bad, but no where near the fun and great entertainment of the original, but if it one day, gets an official DVD/Blu-ray release (not counting the Spanish one) I will be sure to pick it up.

When it comes to streaming services, I still have not been all that impressed (at least of what I have seen) of Netflix, which is of course very different in amount of films and tv-shows, than the american one, but every time I visit, I am just stressed out and annoyed at how hard it is, to find something interesting, so in the end, I just give up, and go for something else.
