Movies just worth renting? - Blu-ray Forum

Member-38947 · 12-31-2008, 06:27 AM

Ok, so I have Netflix, but I was wondering on some movies that you wouldn't watch a second time. I need to rent some Blu's from Netflix, and I'm just wondering on some good rental advice.

That's tough to say because every one has their own tastes in terms of movies that have replay value. Just rent everything you haven't seen and make the decision from there. This has kept me from blind buying as much as I use to. I just watched Eagle Eye yesterday and that's one that I won't be buying.

What will you trade for my advice?

My following advice will cost $10

Switch to BlockBuster, bigger selection and much faster to the door. Also cost about the same.

But you lose the online streaming, don't you?

We're thinking about Netflix, and it's appealing to think that if we were waiting on the mail, or just got the urge we could hop online and pick one from there.

does netflix stream hd online? if so, that may be a viable solution.

Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro, I Am Legend. Those were recent rentals. I was glad I saw them and liked them more than expected, but also glad I didn't buy them. I have tried to be more conservative with my purchases than I was with DVD, so I rent quite a few BDs through Netflix.

I bought No Country For Old Men and should have rented it. I liked it but my wife was pissed at the ending. hahah

I don't think they stream HD yet. But, I have read that the quality isn't bad for being instant streaming. Not all titles are available online, but it's a nice feature for on the moment viewing needs.

They do stream HD to the xbox.

To answer the TS, for me, most movies are only renter's. I rarely watch any movie a second time and only receive them as gifts generally.

Even so it does not bother me, every movie I rented. Took no more then 3 days to get to me, always.

It's all about personal taste. Just rent everything that looks appealing to you. After all, you're only renting it.
