What Standard DVD's will you never part with? Why? - Blu-ray Forum

Roland1919 · 12-29-2008, 08:52 PM

Ok, so what DVD's will you never part with regardless if they come to Blu. Here is a list of a few of mine:

The WIZARD OF OZ BOX set. (Will always look sexy)
THE MALTESE FALCON (Cover Art is insanely good)
MEMENTO (File Case Cover is UNIQUE)
DONNIE DARKO DELUXE - Want every version I can get, love this movie.
CASABLANCA - See above.
Anything CRITERION - They will keep going up and remain collectable over time (See THE KILLER/HARD BOILED)

BATMAN RETURNS is very collectable, expensive and hard to find. Just checked and its going for $30 on EBAY.

I thought I heard that before so that's why I decided to keep it.

I always laugh when I see Criterion on the beastie boys dvd. dunno just seems funny.

lobo81865 · 12-29-2008, 09:03 PM

Any of my Walt Disney Treasures series since I doubt they will come to Blu-Ray. Especially "Dr. Syn-Alias the Scarecrow."

Wow. That's hard to believe. Maybe I should sell mine.

FORGOT DISNEY. My woman said, "You will never replace DISNEY DVD's ever, even if they come out with a BLU-RAY HOLOGRAM version." I thought that was funny. BLU-RAY Hologram.

Hmmm, maybe shes on to something.

All my steel case (tin) copies:

Akira
Appleseed

Umm, I think this case has been outlawed in every state except RHODE ISLAND...are you in RHODE ISLAND

Usual Suspects. I have the copy where the disc slides out the bottom of the case. Wasn't out long and it was out before dvd took off.

Yeah look how much amazon has going for it

Barbie-Shrimp · 12-29-2008, 10:18 PM

The Freaks and Geeks Yearbook set. I keep this with my yearbooks and not with my movies. I'm sure this show will never be available as anything other than DVD, so I'll keep what I have.

The Lord of the Rings Extended sets, unless the Ultimate Blu Box Set looks as nice.

Ghostbusters, I have so many copies of Ghostbusters it's ridiculous. I'm not parting with any of that.

Arrested Development, even if an HD version comes out when the movie happens (if the movie happens), I think this show looks and sounds fine and won't upgrade.

Secretagentnumber6 · 12-29-2008, 10:22 PM

I will not get rid of any of my standards. I will prob rebuy some, but mainly I will stick to buying blus I do not have. Even if I get a blu I will keep the SDVD or give it to a friend or family at least. I cannot stand to part with them.
