Which Movies Owned on DVD Would You Double-Dip? - Blu-ray Forum

olarmy96 · 12-10-2007, 10:28 AM

Which BD exclusive studio films that you own DVD would you immediately buy if they were available on Blu-ray?

I was looking through my DVD collection last night and saw Donnie Darko was Fox. I never paid attention to studios before (remember the good ol' days?). It got me thinking there might be movies like this, and it would be good for studios to know.

Of course, everyone's going to list obvious ones like Indiana Jones and Star Wars, etc. But, what I'd like to see is maybe some surprising ones come out that would have a lot of support. Once we have a good list, then maybe someone can re-run a poll like the Sony ones.

My list: The Abyss, City of Lost Children, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Leon, The Natural, The Princess Bride, Platoon, True Lies, When Harry Met Sally

Each and every one of them except Elmo in Grouchland.

Unless I got a good deal like finding it used or something.

If it was worth buying on DVD it's worth buying on Blu Ray.

That reminds me I have to go double check that nothing I currently have on DVD is available yet otherwise, I'll trade it in likely for $3 and buy the Blu.

all every last one(unless it gets a terrible review via PQ and audio like a 1-2.5)

Cyorg · 12-10-2007, 12:03 PM

The Princess Bride, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Office Space

most of the blu's i have are double, and in some cases, triple dipped. Christmas vacation is a quadruple-dip.

everything
I can't stand to watch DVDs anymore and I hate it when I am forced to because it is not out on Blu yet.

LotR

JackStraw · 12-10-2007, 01:33 PM

I have an extensive enough collection where it would be relegated to my favorite movies or ones with high AQ/PQ ratings. Which would still be a lot that I would double dip on.

So far I was able to sell almost every one of my DVDs for $5 when I bought the Blu versions of the same movies.

Giyomu · 12-10-2007, 01:45 PM

LOTR !!

Giyomu · 12-10-2007, 01:47 PM

I ve just thought about

Gladiator

last man standing

hc666 · 12-10-2007, 01:48 PM

The only double dip I did was Dawn of the Dead. Was well worth it. PQ wise it's a huge improvement over all the DVD releases.

Ason12 · 12-10-2007, 02:28 PM

Well for Sure,

Lord of the Rings
Stargate: Atlantis
The Matrix
Firefly & Serenity
Chronicles of Narnia
Babylon 5

Kristin Simard · 12-10-2007, 04:01 PM

Some of the Disney classics, Sony Pictures Classics, others, too, but then I'd have to make another list.

DealsR4theDevil · 12-10-2007, 04:08 PM

Why wouldn't you replace all of them with Blus? I mean you guys watch these movies right? And I know you care about picture quality.

Obviously if you don't watch your old DVDs, you shouldn't replace them.

MasterXeus · 12-10-2007, 04:17 PM

Most, if not all of them.

To name a few, I want know.
TV shows
Stargate Atlantis
Stargate SG-1
Smallville Season 1-5 (Already Have Season 6)
Babylon 5
Firefly
Star Trek TNG

Movies
Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Lord of the Ring Trilogy
Star Wars 1-6
Serenity
The Matrix Trilogy
Batman Begins

I think I’ll stop now, I could go on but the list would be huge.
