Help Picking 1 of 3 BDs - Blu-ray Forum

vesh · 01-23-2009, 10:56 PM

hey everyone, i have $20 left on a futureshop gift card i received over the holidays, and i am debating which of the 3 titles to spend the remaining credit on. There are 3 titles i am having a difficult time deciding between, ans was hoping for some help picking one (based on both quality of the film and PQ). Also keep in mind i already have most other movies i like, so i dont really need other suggestions.

I am deciding to pick up one of the following...

1. blade runner (blind buy)
2. man on fire
3. sin city (blind buy)

thanks for your help!!!!!!!!

Sin City

Blade Runner is by far the best film out of those three, and the extras on the BD are excellent.

+1

Every Blu-ray collection should include Blade-Runner.

Blade Runner.

I would pick Sin City, as it looks better than Man on Fire (which was meant to have a gritty, harsh look to it). Plus, it's just an awesome movie. Blade Runner, imo, was very boring, hardly any action, and for such a supposedly awesome blade runner, he got his ass kicked a lot. The futuristic city was amazing though!

i know im in the minority, but i would pick man on fire. one of my faves.

MyBlu-rayBrotherEd · 01-23-2009, 11:06 PM

Of those three....Man on Fire

Moefiz · 01-23-2009, 11:07 PM

Man on Fire...solid movie in all departments...one of my favorites

Sussudio · 01-23-2009, 11:08 PM

wow..really guys?

blade runner FTW!!

cdot2four · 01-23-2009, 11:09 PM

man on fire

I found Blade Runner incredibility boring and i didnt care for sin city

Terra4Gary · 01-23-2009, 11:13 PM

Sin City!!!

qube · 01-23-2009, 11:14 PM

I had no idea that there were people who didn't like 'Blade Runner'?!

Crazy world we live in...

Anyways, my pick goes to 'Blade Runner'. 'Sin City' was excellent, but not many movies ever made can even hold 'Blade Runner's' jock.

cembros · 01-23-2009, 11:15 PM

i pick all three

Blu Man · 01-23-2009, 11:16 PM

Not a fan of any of them..........
But go with Blade Runner.

Blu Titan · 01-23-2009, 11:17 PM

Blade Runner.

Eagle_23 · 01-23-2009, 11:17 PM

Man on Fire for sure. My personal 2nd favorite movies and certainly in my top 3 BD in terms of quality.

perfectdark · 01-23-2009, 11:20 PM

i would hold off and get a different movie..... but if you have to choose i would pick Sin City

ronp10 · 01-23-2009, 11:25 PM
