Blu-Movies you bought that you never seen or owned before - Blu-ray Forum

Moefiz · 10-26-2007, 01:20 PM

Have you bought a BD movie for the first time that you have never seen or owned just because its on Blu-Ray.

I have never seen the Shinning or 2001 on either DVD or in the movies I have however seen it on TV at a glance. I am seriouly think about picking up these two this weekend just because they are two great movies that I haven't experience as yet and the picture quality is great.

kjacobs03 · 10-26-2007, 01:21 PM

Yes, I bought Curse of the Golden Flower and Casino Royale without ever watching them.

Zyclone · 10-26-2007, 01:23 PM

most of mine are blind buys but i enjoy watching movies and thanks to blu ray i buy alot of movies i would never normally watch but have really enjoyed like breaking and entering and bridge to Terbithia.

clownface · 10-26-2007, 01:24 PM

Casino Royale.

CptGreedle · 10-26-2007, 01:25 PM

The Fountain.
I liked this movie after watching the Blu-ray. It was very visual and intellectual. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea.. but i thought this was a great movie. Glad I blindly bought it.

Layer Cake, Black Snake Moan, MI:3, Stranger than Fiction, Ultraviolet, Hellboy, Chicago, Good Night and Good Luck, Devil's Rejects, The Great Raid, Brothers Grimm, Unforgiven, Lives of Others, Apocalypto.

Lsalas76 · 10-26-2007, 01:30 PM

Yep Ghost Rider. I'd figure the special effects would be great plus I like a lot of comic book movies. This movie was missing something though

Happy Feet it was the 2nd blu-ray I ever bought my brother told me it was a good movie.

The Untouchables I figured it was a mob movie and I like most mob movies but wasn't too thrilled with it though. The movie score seemed to kill the movie IMO.

The Prestige - I heard it rave reviews and that the pq was amazing.

Apocalypto - again heard rave reviews.

Underworld - I haven't watched it yet

jasoncarmony · 10-26-2007, 01:32 PM

The Wild, Meet the Robinsons, Invincible are my blind buys.

ajkj9 · 10-26-2007, 01:44 PM

almost all of mine are blind buys.. The lookout, Mr. Brooks, usual suspects, memento, resorvoir dogs... the list could go on...

I will be buying Ratatouille on Blu-ray without having seen it yet.... as for 2001 and the Shining... I would suggest you see them first before buying, they are not for everyone.

haha, well the thing with ghost rider is that he's not really that exciting of a comic book character.... he's kinda like daredevil, semi-popular, but not enough to really matter.

I have done a lot of blind buys, but I try to read reviews to see if they are good candidates. The last two blind buys I picked up, immortal beloved and curse of the golden flower definately lived up to their reviews.

The next blind buys for me are Spidy 3 and Pirates 3 - and I am going to get them REGARDLESS of the reviews

What can I say, I am a trusting soul! - well, that and both Sony and Disney have been kicking some serious bu++ in their latest transfers.

Bluray_ne1 · 10-26-2007, 02:19 PM

For me it was Fantastic 4 2. Never got to see it in the theatres but I knew from FF1 that the PQ & SQ were going to be phenomenal...they were.

cathexist · 10-26-2007, 02:31 PM

Bought Memoirs of a Geisha, Planet Earth, and Galapagos without seeing them. Still haven't watched Memoirs of Galapagos, but damn am I glad I got Planet Earth (it was my third blu purchase, the first being casino royale and then fifth element).

david2189 · 10-26-2007, 02:32 PM

i was never that into films before i got blu ray, the quality blew me away and transformed me. so err i actually havent got any :s

Tenudin · 10-26-2007, 02:36 PM

Planet Earth was probably my first out right blind buy. Everyone kept praising the pure beauty of it so I bought it and man were they ever right.
