Name a few blu-rays you never owned on SD dvd.

[Member-38928]

#1 this question is for folks that had a decent sized SD dvd collection, (200+) before the arrival of HD and blu-ray.

Name a few blu-rays that you have added to your collection that you would never have owned on SD dvd even if they were available.

The movie that gave me the idea to ask this question is 'The Wizard of Oz'.

why? Mainly because it has been on TV at least once anually since I was a kid so there was no need to buy it, although I cannot say for sure if was ever available in DVD.

There are a few others that I have purchased basically for the BD transfer alone.

One thing is for sure, I will never watch The Wizard of Oz on TV again.

If it was a movie i like I would buy it on DVD if it wasn't available on Blu, In my small collection I have now I have owned all but some of the new release movies on DVD before I purchased them on Blu.

Total Recall.For some reason I never did buy Total Recall on DVD.I had it on Laserdisc,but never did get it on DVD.Well I have it on Blu-Ray now so no big deal.
Hellraiser is another movie that I've always loved,but never did buy the movie on DVD.

[Propellarhead9]

Out of all the movies I like though the one I always wanted to get on DVD but never did and now I'm waiting for the blu's is Indiana Jones.

Almost all of them... I didn't have very many DVDs, and I stopped buying them the moment that I learned that Blu-ray was on the way. I guess I kinda skipped DVD because I was a starving college student for the first few years of its run, and shortly after I got to working and earning again I'd heard of Blu-ray.

LOL, you kids are noobs. Ive been at this a long time, I remember back in the mid 90's when it was not uncommon for a guy to have $5000+ wrapped up in their dvds. I remember when $19.99 was the best price you ever saw on a DVD, and you could sell used DVD on Ebay for $15 and $20 .


I was lucky, I sold half my DVD collection back in 99' or so , I got $10-$20 a piece for them. LOL today it would be more like $1 or $2 a piece.

[SethRex]

I guess one would have to be The Wizard of Oz. Never did own a copy of the movie on DVD. I owned it and its sequel, Return to Oz on VHS, but never DVD.

[Iron-Blu-123]

I only has about 50 dvd and 30 were upgrade to bluray. so about 500 bluray in my collection never owned them in dvd.

[Blu Titan]

Just some of the many that I would not have purchased on DVD. Zulu, Patton, Robin Hood, Bullit, A Bridge too Far, The Dirty Dozen, The Shining, and many more.

[Beta Man]

My DVD collection is creeping towards 1,200 but I've been buying Blu-rays (in addition to some DVDs) for the past 2 years, so every movie that has been released (new) in the past 2 years, that I've bought, has been a movie I've bought on Blu-ray that I didn't own previously on DVD.....

Blu-rays I don't own on DVD 50-60
Blu-rays I already owned the DVD of previously 40-50

silly to name them all.

I collect Disney movies, so I have about 300 Disney DVDs alone. I've been weeding through my non-Disney DVDs and getting rid of films I haven't watched in more than 2 years through Amazon's trade-in offer to free up shelf space. With the exception of new release movies, all of the Blu-Rays I've bought have replaced a DVD version that I already owned. Although I did just order Casablanca online, and have never owned that film before, so that would be the one and only exception.

Total recall for me
plus I'm seriously thinking about geting waterworld on Blu but still a bit undecided on it. I think there are a few other's but I just can't think a the moment.

[RudyC]

i remember i said i was only going to buy blus i really liked from my dvds...

and i am buying movies i never even thought about buying.

about 15 of blus are things i never thought i'd own.

[Freekman]

I owned Nightmare Before Christmas on VHS, but never DVD, as I knew it would get a better release than the first DVD version. Never owned Gladiator on DVD (let alone even seen it before the Blu release). The Godfather Trilogy was never in my DVD collection, either, as it never really got my attention until I heard how good it was on Blu. And the final Blu that wasn't in my DVD collection was T2. It had been on TV enough times for me to see, but once the Skynet Edition came out, I thought it would be a perfect time to buy it.

[ungood]

about 90% of the blu's i own i've never owned on sd-dvd. the ones that i did have on sd-dvd were domino, king arthur, and pirates of the caribbean: curse of the black pearl

[Freekman]

After I got my PS3, I bought Blus, most of which I never owned on DVD. Considering most of my Blus released after I got my player, of course I never owned them on DVD.

[BluIsGold]

Really hard to say since I bought 1,300 or so DVDs, so I looked at the last 15 blus I bought. 8 of them are definitely not in my DVD collection. All new releases I've bought since late November '08 are blus. One day I'll count 'em up when time permits, but I'll guess around 30% to 35% as of today since I have so many catalog titles.
