I second that.

Also RE: Degeneration was horrible, and I actually had high hopes for that one..

There are a bunch of them that I wished I wouldn't have purchased. Quite a few to list. I am going to be a lot more selective with my BD purchases in 2009.

ajgoodfella7 · 01-04-2009, 09:23 PM

Well I got The Omen for free and I still wish I didn't have it.

MrFilmFanatic · 01-04-2009, 09:34 PM

It has to be 88 Minutes or 10,000 B.C. If you have seen either of these then there is no explanation needed.

I blind bought Stealth, after watching it for 35 minutes I shut it off real disappointed in my purchase. The only other one I wish I didn't buy was also another blind buy, it was The Covenent. Pretty good sound on both of them but movie-wise they were garbage up the yin yang.

Blu Myers · 01-04-2009, 11:06 PM

AVP:R is a guilty pleasure of mine. I watch it all the time.

The ones I regret buying: FFour: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Indy 4 (the special feature are better than the movie).

Prince Caspian

I need a way to unload Strangers, Forgetting Sarah Marshall Unrated, and Hancock.

Hancock was a moment of weakness, Strangers just has zero replay value, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall Unrated... seriously... I don't want male or female full frontal in any movie if I'm going to watch it more than once.

Kudos to Doomsday to being a movie I thought I'd regret buying driving it home from the store (again a moment of weakness), but that movie's really grown on me as a modern day MadMax with decent production values.

Shoot'EM Up

Worst movie I've seen

BlurayFanatic · 01-07-2009, 05:24 PM

Mr WoodCock

Bought it for $5 and is just was bad

TheZoof · 01-07-2009, 08:54 PM

I regret buying Black Snake Moan.

It is a good quality disk but slow movie that I can't see myself watching often.

JamesKurtovich · 01-07-2009, 09:32 PM

None. I never get ahead of myself. The only regret I would have is buying my first two BD's at Wal-Mart rather than picking them up from Amazon. Although I do think 2001: A Space Odyssey being $17 is a bit much considering how much it is on DVD (like $5). Same with Blade Runner.. which I bought on DVD for $2.

j3ff86 · 01-07-2009, 09:35 PM

Blind bought Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood) when it was on sale, based on good PQ reviews. I found it pretty boring, and have only watched it once.

blooded predator · 01-07-2009, 09:39 PM

none because i only buy movies that i like and will watch more than once

canuckle · 01-07-2009, 09:39 PM

The Doors.

Great story, excellent job by Val Kilmer, could have been 30 minutes shorter. Would have been a better rental.

liam1972 · 01-07-2009, 10:41 PM

Burn After Reading

Every preview I saw for this movie made me want to see it, but I never got out to theaters in time to watch it. It was one of my "Movies I must own even though Ive never seen it", and now I wish I passed on it. I just couldn't get into it.

So, if anyone out there wants this movie and will trade or whatever, I'm more than willing to give it up.

ObiTrentKenobi · 01-07-2009, 10:47 PM

Batman Begins and Dark Knight.

I could have saved a lot of money just getting the single-disc standard DVD's and upconverted them...

Nicadian · 01-07-2009, 10:50 PM

Monster house. Tt was a blind buy and i didn't like the animation and the story.

Codywan24 · 01-07-2009, 11:11 PM

Blind bought The Golden Compass. Didn't enjoy it at all and I'll probably never watch it again. That's, to date, my only blind buy on any format that I truly regret. Also, could do without Hitch. I like the movie well enough, but not sure why I decided I should own it.
