What percentage of your collection are imports - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

Nielsb90 · 03-12-2009, 03:41 PM

About 85% hehe.. Own 69, and 60 of them are imports! Combine the lack of titles with the horribly high price tag, and there is not reason not to buy from the UK or US! THANK YOU GUYS FOR CHEAP BD

jk1138 · 03-12-2009, 04:08 PM

a little less then 2%
I have Bruce Almighty
Air Force One
Transformers 1986

Meathead · 03-12-2009, 04:22 PM

I'd say about 15%

Nightmare on Elm Street (Canadian)
Air Force One (UK)
The Goonies (UK)
Predator 2(UK)

The only Blu Ray import I have is Equilibrium. Just paid 46 bucks for the UK HD-DVD of Brotherhood of the Wolf though. It looks great, and has DTS-Master audio.

inquiring minds want to know

The European cases are just blue-colored versions of the PS3 game cases.

None for me... I wish the USA could get a release of The Island. Is this a region free title?

Yes. I happen to own it and it looks very good. It only has lossy audio though.

The awesome Amazon UK Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal enabled me to add two dozen or so titles at around $10-$11 each. I also purchased some of the UK Warner titles such as Poltergeist, How the West Was Won, Bonnie & Clyde and the Dirty Harry Collection to avoid the digi-books and hokey box sets. But recently I have begun to warm up a bit to the digi-books since purchasing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus for $14.99 at Best Buy. My Region-Free Import List:

Bonnie & Clyde
Children of Men
Dirty Harry
Magnum Force
The Enforcer
The Dead Pool
Sudden Impact
Sophie Scholl
Downfall
The Devil's Own
In the Line of Fire
The Island
How the West Was Won
Poltergeist
Company of Wolves
Boys From Brazil
Death and Life of Bobby Z
Rollerball
Made of Honour
Catch and Release
Mona Lisa Smile
Erin Brockovich
Man On Fire
The Pink Panther (1963)
Raging Bull
Perfect Stranger
Tekkonkinkreet
Paprika
Little Miss Sunshine
Almost Famous
Anger Management
Reign Over Me
Pursuit of Happyness
ABBA: The Movie
Bruce Almighty
The Bone Collector
Cinderella Man
Equilibrium
Face Off
Final Fantasy
Flatliners
First Knight
Legend of Zorro
Great Expectations
Black Narcissus
The Seventh Seal
Paranoid Park
Maximum Risk
The Machinist
Lucky Number Slevin
The Omen trilogy
The Planet of the Apes: 40 Year Evolution
The Replacement Killers
Seraphim Falls
Scary Movie 4
Thirteen Ghosts
Welcome to the Jungle (a.k.a. The Rundown)
Zulu

I made a mistake in my vote.... approaching 10% of my collection.

In a few cases I actually prefer the import cover art over the domestic release because of the use of original theatrical art...even with the ratings symbols emblazoned on the them:

CarolinaBlu · 03-13-2009, 12:50 AM

Beowulf
Batman
Batman Returns
Sin City
Kung Fu Hustle

My folks live in London, so I check out the locals for bargains sometimes

P@t_Mtl · 03-13-2009, 12:57 AM

None

sfmarine · 03-13-2009, 02:15 PM

Less than 5%...I've got about 4 imports.

Travis Bickle · 03-13-2009, 03:44 PM

My percentage of imports is almost 10% (20 titles). The actual size of my collection (owned) is really 235, not 366 that is indicated in my profile. I created a couple of custom wishlist catagories for my blu-rays but I'm unable to make them not count towards the 'owned' total.

paperthrower2000 · 03-13-2009, 07:40 PM

Well it seems to ba a trend, I posted the same pole and another forum (hehum) and the results are very similar so I guess it's pretty scientific.

Thanks all

BigFoot · 03-15-2009, 02:17 PM

Almost half. I own 78 BDs, 38 of those are imports (from the US), the rest are Region B.

clownface · 03-15-2009, 03:19 PM

Children of Men and Kung Fu Hustle.

samuelj · 03-15-2009, 03:25 PM

More than 10% but less than 15%.lol

SideEffect34 · 03-15-2009, 03:32 PM

None.

JAGUAR1977 · 03-15-2009, 03:50 PM

90% are US imports, but increasingly I'm buying UK discs as prices are dropping.
