How many of your Blus have been "Blind buys"

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Never did any blind buys with dvd, not going to start now.

i blind buy quite often, and i have a few valid reasons for doing so.

1. i do consider myself a collector, so i like having a variety laying around.

2. considering when me and my gf went to see angels and demons we spent $19 on just the tickets, plus another $8 for popcorn and a drink. thats $27 for a "blind buy" so to speak. id rather take the chance and just buy it and have it at home, if i hate it o well but if i love it then i can know how much i saved.

3. some movies that i would never of thought i would enjoy, like pans labrynth/hero's seasons 1 and 2/ the godfather ( yes until 2 months ago i was a 24 yr old man that had never watched the godfather, as i usually dont enjoy those kind of movies). i like finding diamonds in the rough. and if i have extra cash around its a great way to spend my hard earned cash. maybe 50% or 60% of my collection are blind buys

I have curbed my blind buying of movies quite a lot since transitioning to BD. So far my only blind buys on BD are The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. So far, so good.

I might blind buy Knowing, despite many bad reviews. I have a soft spot for apocalyptic movies, plus I really like I, Robot and Dark City (also by Proyas).

I have been fortunate that out of the 7 Blind Purchases I have made,only 2 have been busts(But luckily these were less then $8.00 Each New).
But I will admit now I try to find any and all info on a movie before I make a purchase.

I blind buy all the time; it's about the same price as two movie tickets, there's no risk of loud, rude audience members or crummy projection, and I get to keep the movie forever. It's pretty much win-win.

Plus I love bad movies as much as good ones for their own awful charms, so it takes a lot for me to actually regret buying one.

I blind buy movies that either have a good review by forum-ers ( let the right one i) or those really cheap blus , for example Salvage , got it for only $4.29 when inetvideo was having it sales and for that price its a pretty decent flix

Your poll needs to include a "Just a small percentage" option. Out of about 75 blus that I own, only 10 were blind buys.

Twilight
Tropic Thunder
RAMBO
National Treasure 1
National Treasure 2
Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3
Quantum of Solace
Taken

I own 100 BDs. I'd say 10 if that many have been blind buys.

[CaptainYoda]

Only a handful of mine were blind.

Justice League: New Frontier
Wonder Woman (animated)
Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder.

[JTStarkiller]

Out of the 60 or so I have, the only blind buys have been the DC Animated films, and 30 Days of Night. All worth it.

[icyteddy]

Here is my Blind Buy list

Eagle Eye
Kung Fu Panda
Wall E
Wanted
Band Of Brothers

Those blus were ALL recommended by forum members here based on the movie, PQ and AQ. Very happy with the results. Have not have a bad blind buy experience yet.

The very movie that made me step away from Sylvester Stallone.

Good times, good times.

I generally don't buy blind movies unless Jerry Bruckheimer produces it but that is what I have netflix for if I miss it in the theater I'll rent them first and if they are crap I'll return it I hight recommend netflix I get all my blu's from them.
