You + desert island + single BD - Blu-ray Forum

jc480 · 02-22-2009, 01:21 AM

You're on a desert island...lucky for you a 1080p television (pick your favorite one-something with a non-reflective screen I'd suggest), your favorite brand of BD player and a pimp HTIB floated by. Amazingly you have a solar powered generator to power all this shizzle along with a complete set of cables.

Unfortunately, a single blu-ray is all that you have to enjoy...so...if you're stuck watching a single BD for up to 20 years (until you're rescued)...which BD would you choose? (single releases only, no boxed sets

)

WOW very tough choice but after giving it some thought, Transformers. Its a great movie with great replay value and Meagan Fox is in it so what more do you want

Navster · 02-22-2009, 01:30 AM

Cast Away... WiiiLLLLsoooon!! Now thats what you call irony my friend

xander · 02-22-2009, 01:31 AM

Band of Brothers, Disc 3. So anytime I felt like complaining, I could pop in Bastogne and remind myself that I didn't have it that bad at all stuck on that island.

EvilGamerX · 02-22-2009, 01:37 AM

I would go with a TV series due to how it has more hours of entertainment.

So I would probably go with Firefly. It isn't a box-set either. All three discs are in one regular sized case. If I had only a single disc though, probably disc 2...

Sussudio · 02-22-2009, 01:40 AM

i dont care if its blasphemy, i wouldn't choose a blu. i would take my 14 disc ultimate superman collector's set....

but if you're forcing me into it i would take 2001 blu. i would spent all my time deciphering it

reece · 02-22-2009, 01:40 AM

Day of the Dead...not really top notch as for as quality goes, but nothing has more replay value for me than all that good zombie gore in 1080p

Blu Titan · 02-22-2009, 01:44 AM

Very hard question...I would say "Cars", since it would remind me of the many times I saw it with my son.

Geezer00003 · 02-22-2009, 01:57 AM

Perhaps a top quality blu-ray porno?

Think about it

STARSCREAM · 02-22-2009, 02:23 AM

Luckily they released a boxset with all 6 Star Wars Movies so technically that is just one Blu-ray.

The OP specified no box sets.

Girls Gone Wild

Galley · 02-22-2009, 02:33 PM

Planet Earth

McKellars · 02-22-2009, 02:33 PM

Hmm... probably The Dark Knight.

Anthony P · 02-22-2009, 03:02 PM

1) I would pick the biggest and brightest display
2) pick a bright movie

might as well have something that can be used to bring rescue (“hey what is hat bright light in the distance?”

I would not want a movie I love, can you imagine what would happen when you get back to civilization it would be bad to not want to see it any more because 1) you have seen it way too many times 2)associated with your exile

br715mech · 02-22-2009, 03:06 PM

Id have to go with Transformers as well. Good movie and the Megan Fox factor!
