Default How much of your Blu collection consists of Blind Buys?

How much of your Blu collection did you buy without seeing before hand?

My List is

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Casino Royale
Dan in Real Life
Dave Matthews Concert
Live Free or Die Hard
Gone Baby Gone
Justice League
No Country of Old Men
Saw IV
30 Days of Night
3:10 To Yuma
Ultimate Avengers

Now I have 51 movies, thats a big chunk

Here is the list of them that I have watched since getting them

Dan in Real Life

10 Min of Dave Matthews

Justice League


Yeah im pathetic for not watching 3:10, or Casino Royale, but its tough to find the time. Although the 3 I have seen have been great. Dan in Real Life was surprisingly good, and so was Justice League, and even though I only watched 10 min, I liked what I saw from Dave. I try to watch, 1 of them a weekend. I think ill watch Alvin with my son this weekend

My blind buys that I've watched so far:

Full Metal Jacket (only partial blind buy here, I'd seen bits and pieces)
Blood Diamond
I Am Legend
Flyboys
The Fugitive (again, only partial blind buy)
3:10 to Yuma
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: AWE
Blade Runner
Ratatouille
American Psycho (technically one of my five free)
Unforgiven
Bad Santa

Ones that I haven't watched yet:

2001: A Space Odyssey (just got this today though, gonna watch it SOON)
The Great Raid
Big Fish
Goodfellas
S.W.A.T. (also one of my five free)
Kingdom of Heaven
Letters from Iwo Jima
The Searchers
Transporter 2

A lot of my blind buys were during the BOGO days of Amazon, and only if they had a good review here on the site, so Amazon should be thankful to the reviewers here for creating sales.

I should note, of the blind buys that I've watched so far, the only one I did not like was Blade Runner, but I've read around and it might be because of the version I watched, something about the one with Harrison Ford's narration is supposed to be the best one.

I have 110 blu's right now and I'd guess 40% of them were blind buys.

I thnk blnd buying movies is dumb I did it twice with 3:10 to yuma and no country for old men and I didn't care for them. thank god for bluray.com cause I just traded them away. I rent before buying which helps me from actually having blade runner and shoot em up in my collection.

Only 1 out of 60. Most of my purchases have either replaced DVDs or ones I saw in the theater. Enchanted was the only one since the whole family wanted to see it but missed it in the theater.

I have over 500 dvds and more than half were blind buys I was "that guy" at best buy buying all the new movies. I had a wall full of shitty movies I would look at the titles and wonder what the hell is this doing in my house? with bluray I decided not to be "that guy" and just buy movies I like.

for the people talking about going to the movies is worse it really sounds like u need to get out of the basement. instead of blind buying a couple of movies go watch a new movie at the theater have dinner go to the bar make a night out of it. maybe that's not for everbody but that's something I like to do.

The only movie I bought that was a blind buy was "No Country For Old Men" and it was worth every penny of the 26.79 I paid for it.
