Art Sandusky Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Solaris, Magnolia, and A.I. My collection isn't really big.
justsoyouknow Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 In all fairness, Ravenbomb, who are you buying movies for? If you're not going to watch them, you're buying them to impress somebody.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Superman Returns Best of Gordy & Williams in Japan/WCW Liger: The 12-Hour Ultimate Collection Miami Vice Highlander 10th Anniversary Edition Unforgiven 2002 311 Day 2006 HDNet Edition History of the WWE Championship
CanadianChick Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Sweet Home Alabama. My mom bought it for me two years ago, and I haven't watched it yet.
Ravenbomb Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Posted February 11, 2007 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.
CanadianChris Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 With movies, I'm not that bad. But my backlog of TV series on DVD is staggering.
King Kamala Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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.
Youth N Asia Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 The Punisher The Jacket Munich those are the only ones that come to mind
Boon Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 The Blues Brothers Closer Finding Neverland Goodfellas Ong Bak Ray Scarface United 93 Sad.
Hank Kingsley Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 The Bad Sleep Well The Man Who Fell To Earth Godzilla (original) Nashville Yojimbo I used to be a lot worse about stuff like that.
luke-o Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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.
Guest Fiscusalicious Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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. 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.
Special K Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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?
Ripper Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 I can fuck with Raven bombs list. I have alot of movies I haven't watched. Just don't have the time, but I do know I want to watch them.
SuperJerk Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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.

Guest Grossman=Fag Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Ikiru is really really really really good.
Craig Th Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Happy Feet Flags of our Fathers Lucky # Sleven Smokin Aces V for Vendentta 21 Grams Blood Diamond Boy's Don't Cry Home of the Brave The Guardian The Last King of Scotland North Country The Night Listener The Illusionist The Squid and the Whale Winter Passing Eragon Miami Vice And Dexter on TV. Wow, that is a bunch.
Anorak Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Fargo Forgot I had it actually. Well, I forgot my sister had it.
NoCalMike Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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.
Mik Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Mole, how exactly do you have a DVD of Smokin' Aces that you haven't watched yet?
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 This is kind of a weird concept to me. I've watched every movie I own.
Downhome Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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.
SuperJerk Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 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.
Youth N Asia Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 I have a bunch of DVDs I've never watched, but have seen before otherwiese. I couldn't even begin to list those
Anakin Flair Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Chance- it's a small, independently produced movie from Amber Benson I bought a few years ago, but never got to watching.
Special K Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 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.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 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.
