Name your least favorite blind buys

[80sfanboy]

Worst:
Bruce Lee my brother
Secret Window
Hobo with a shotgun
The Beyond
Deep Red

Best:
I Saw the Devil
Inside
The Onion Movie (DVD)
I have at least 500 more because I buy 80% of my titles blind

The more you sweat in training the less you bleed in battle

[Verbal Kint]

I probably have more but the most recent blind buy I disliked was Stone.

[Carcuss]

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Worst $13 i ever spent.

[Taknakhan]

Most recently, Anonymous. It wasn't bad, just shouldn't have bought it.

Worst offender of all time was Strange Wilderness on DVD. I removed to from my database and either threw it out or gave it away. Horrible, horrible film. And I love Happy Madison films.

[Saints 2010]

Hereafter. I've enjoyed most of Clint Eastwood's work post 2000s but this one wasn't of the same quality as the others.

[Hucksta G]

Butterfly Effect 2 and Alien Resurrection, but both came as part of box sets

All good films.


Mine would have been Sucker Punch.

[Whitey75]

2012 .......that was just bad.

Armored wasn't a whole lot better.

These are the two movies that I wouldn't buy again if I had a choice.

[Rusty1989]

I actually have quite a good track record with blind buys. I tend to do a as much research as possible before buying them so that could help but yeah, I typically enjoy most of my blind buys. Some that do stand out though:

Warrior (had such high hopes for this but was unimpressed)
Safe House (had a feeling it wouldn't be too great)
The Illusionist (after searching for SO long for it on Blu only for it to end up on eBay after one watch lol)

I almost got this today seeing as there was a Steelbook of it at JB's sale, and I've never really seen one before.

Of the blind buys I have watched, I didn't enjoy Fargo at all. Thank goodness it was only $8.

[xxmatthewxx]

Love & Other Drugs ..... I dunno, just wasn't into it at all.

[stevo4264]

The Red Baron, picked it up before I knew it wasn't correct OAR, the movie might be good but have never watched it because of this reason.

[Cevolution]

Other than The Land of the Dead, I don't dislike any blind buy I own. Except for some of the shitty women titles in my collection that my fiancée blind bought

[Whitey75]

I guess expectations can play a big role in your enjoyment of a movie. I know mood can also play a factor.

Gotta say though I loved warrior and sucker punch. Both were blind buys.

I know Sucker Punch is a really polarizing movie though. Most either love it or hate it.

[Nommag]

Certainly Omega man, there's classics and then there is uninspired trash.

I had real issues with Scott Pilgrim on first viewing (enough to win tickets through the Quickflix Head 2 Head reviews with Simon Miraudo), but on subsequent viewings I have grown to really love it.

[TheDevilsGuard]

Face Off, worst film ever.
