Movies you've lost and wish you had back - Blu-ray Forum

jabbercash · 04-20-2014, 08:03 PM

I don't know about everyone else, but I've personally lost a lot of different films. Sometimes from letting a friend borrow them, sometimes from leaving it over somebody's house, or them just disappearing one day. Are there films that you guys have lost that you wish you still had?

Movies I lost
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
Forrest Gump
The Italian Job
The Indiana Jones Trilogy
(I'm still wondering how I could have lost a whole trilogy)
Inception
Sixteen Candles

God I really miss my Indiana Jones :'(

Gangs of New York

I traded it in and regretted it later

newginafets · 04-20-2014, 08:08 PM

The Man of Nowhere
The Little Mermaid digibook

My cousin borrowed them, destroyed by his children.

Only happens with DVDs I traded in.

My Blus are too organized with luck they aren't going anywhere.

I used to let kids bring them to friends houses and such but I'm not going for that anymore. Anyone could have Netfux and Redbox or something ... they don't need my blus.

I must have traded in True Lies... I don't have that anymore and would like to see it again.

I regret selling my Criterion version of The Third Man. Don't know what the hell I was thinking especially since I have bought the studiocanal version since then.

I had lost a film called A Way Of Life, a film that i'm very confident NOBODY on here has heard of. I managed to gain it back about a year ago as it's somewhat of a hard find but I managed it.

About 8 years ago I lost a double feature DVD and laserdisc of El Mariachi & Desperado that were autographed by Robert Rodriguez. I placed them on the ground to take a quick photo of Robert Rodriguez with my friends Del Castillo with some fans and I walked away and forgot about them. When I remembered ten minutes later they were gone. When we were having dinner I told Robert what happened and he said he would get me some replacements later but I had to leave back to N.M. two days later and I wasn't going to be around. Now that I live in Austin I haven't had the chance to talk to Robert again.

This has never happened to me because I am too protective of my collection. I might recommend a title but don't lend my blus or DVDs out to anyone.

I'm not the most trustworthy person, so I fortunately haven't lost any movies.

Supaclyde · 04-21-2014, 12:21 AM

I left a DVD copy of The Da Vinci code at an ex girlfriend's house back in high school.

I let someone borrow a copy Grandma's Boy on DVD about 5 years ago.

Someone stole my 70th anniversary UCE of Wizard of Oz out of my college apartment.

Booker Dewitt · 04-21-2014, 01:28 AM

Not a movie, but I let someone borrow my copy of Clerks: The Animated Series for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. He moved to Chicago not long after.

Still pissed about that.

JeffTheMovieGuy · 04-21-2014, 02:21 AM

I haven't lost any movies yet, my neighbors don't even know I have a collection.

Usually if someone robs you they know you and have seen your collection.

StatenMan18 · 04-21-2014, 03:08 AM

I gave away Pineapple Express to a friend of mine about a year ago. I do miss it, but it's current owner loves it much more than me and only has a few blus.

Hubunkey · 04-21-2014, 03:15 AM
