generally I don't get 60 movies all at once. The sudden surge of movies coupled with me having to finish putting a movie together and apply to film school has left me with a bit of a backlog. I plan on watching every movie on that list.

I haven't finished The Bret Hart DVD set yet (Yeah, I know) and I haven't finished Joe Schmoe:The Complete Season One (I saw it when it originally aired so I probably never will).

 

 

 

I also have Hell Comes To Frogtown (Bought it at a Dollar Store) and a Muhammad Ali documentary that I've never watched around somewhere in my house.

I acually have quiet a few. The problem is that i work in a shop that sells a lot of DVDs buy one get one free for £1.99 so its tricky not to take them up on the offer.

 

But there are a few that ill post when im looking at my DVD racks.

Speaking from the perspective of someone who has been in film school for the past three years, I would recommend you immediately watch The 400 Blows and Wild Strawberrys. Bergman and Truffaut are just so marvelous. I was lucky enough to take a Bergman auteur course last year. It was glorious.

I have the "Colors" trilogy and haven't watched any of them.

 

Whoever has Ong-Bak? There was a review of "the Protector" in a local mag that described it perfectly. Watch it like porn, one hand on the FF button. It's like 25 minutes of jaw-dropping fight scenes, and everything else sucks. But you weren't buying it for the plot, were you?

Are we talking about movies we haven't watched since we bought the DVD, or DVDs of movies we've never seen?

 

Do a lot of people buy DVDs for movies they've never even seen? I do that occasionally, if it looks like something I'll really like and its cheap.

This thread reminds me of Harry Knowles "DVD Picks for<insert date here>" articles. I mean, we all get that he is a movie geek and enjoys a vast array of cinema, but I swear, the guy just buys movies to try and make himself look more knowledgable then everyone else. Some of the commentary he gives about why is buying the movie is so atrocious.

I own a bunch of movies that I've never watched before, simply because I'd rather buy a DVD for $2-$5 instead of renting them. I like having movies around that I've never seen, so I can pop one in when I want to watch something new. It makes sense to me, especially since I never rent and I buy the vast majority of my DVDs a lot cheaper than normal retail prices.

Mole, how exactly do you have a DVD of Smokin' Aces that you haven't watched yet?

Maybe its the kind of DVD where you get to watch people get up for popcorn and go to the restroom.

Ikiru is really really really really good.

 

I don't really thing so.

 

It;s really, really, really, really, really good. Absolutely mindblowing.

 

One of the only movies to make me sob like a bitch, and thank the movie for it.

Rumor has it DreamWorks is going to remake it. Tom Hanks is in discussions for the lead. Hollywood sucks.
