What DVDs are you keeping regardless of if you have or are upgrading to Blu-ray? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

MikeCL · 06-10-2012, 06:37 AM

Funny you should say the matrix.. I own the snap case DVD as well the blu digibook and I saw the steelbook.. but I was like nah I can't do it.. it's the same movie.. now if it was a SE version maybe.. but that movie is the only one I really double dipped on that many times.

I own very little dvd's my first was Air force one back in late '97 I think it was... until last year I only owned like maybe 6 DVD movies lol.

Ill prob never get rid of lotr theatrical editions as well as my kill bill 1/2

Gardenofstone10 · 06-10-2012, 06:43 AM

My favorite movie, Hook I'm not getting rid of DVD. I have Midnight Meat Train signed by Clive Barker. And my first DVD, Pearl Jam Touring Band 2000

jd_from_da_80s · 06-10-2012, 07:09 AM

I'm keeping my Chappelle Show boxsets, Alias seasons 1-5, Soap seasons 1-3, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, even if it comes out on BD, Sin City, King Kong & Arrested Development seasons 1-3

Anything that is not a combo pack I make into one... I buy 2 & 3 disc cases from Sleeve City...

Berek · 06-10-2012, 02:22 PM

I try to get rid of many DVD's that I have Blu Rays of. However, I doubt we'll see re-releases of the Disney Steelboxes.

They seriously need to release XFiles on Blu Ray right now.

T2: Extreme DVD

gonzo_fool · 06-10-2012, 03:06 PM

- The Lord of the Rings theatrical & extended versions. The theatricals because they're still great movies and the extendeds because of the packaging.

- Batman Begins. I got the limited version from Best Buy that they discontinued shortly after putting out with the comic booklet and nifty packaging.

- The Dark Knight. It's got the version with the constant aspect ratio of 2.35:1 (even though I prefer the Blu-ray version with the switching ratios) plus the IMAX scenes in their original aspect ratio on the 2nd disc.

-Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The extended cut is nice to have and was the first version I saw.

- King Kong (1933). The tin box version with one-sheet postcards and Grauman's Chinese Theater program reproduction.

I just regret selling all my Star Wars DVDs because of all the extras they had. *sigh*

Maggot · 06-10-2012, 05:56 PM

I have upgraded everything I could to blu-ray at this point. I basically gave my DVD's away to family and friends. There are a few movies I haven't moved to Blu-ray due to transfer issues like Robocop, Bruce Almighty, The Fugative and Broken Arrow. At least The Fugative is getting reworked and supposedly Robocop. Otherwise, I still have a rather healthy amount of DVD movies waiting for their Blu-ray counterparts to be released

Nailwraps · 06-10-2012, 07:26 PM

I'm not giving up ANY of my DVDs. My plan is to still keep them even if I plan to buy Blu-rays of the movies I have on DVD (heck, I even still buy DVDs as well as VHS on occassion).

Agreed! I don't see myself getting rid of them any time soon. Plus, some of my friends don't have Blu-Ray players so it's easier to take a DVD over for movie nights and such.

Verbal02 · 06-12-2012, 03:00 AM

Gave most of my DVD's to my brother after upgrading to Blu-ray but kept a few for sentimental reason I guess:

The Good The Bad and The Ugly (2 discs collector's set)
Kingdom of Heaven (4 discs director's cut)
Lord of The Rings extended cut DVD set

and I don't plan to upgrade the other DVD's in my collection.

sxerunner · 06-12-2012, 06:12 AM

There's a couple, but the two predominant ones:

Fight Club steelbook (love the packaging on this one).
Jay and Silent Bob for the extras.

nolfoc · 06-12-2012, 06:13 AM

had about 180 DVDs, got rid of all of them.. they are just to ugly to look at

ACMutd · 06-12-2012, 06:15 AM

I kept my Criterions and AvP for some reason.

dsman71 · 06-12-2012, 06:20 AM

Possibly Night of the Living Dead 1990 if Twilight Time doesnt add the Tom Savini Commentary.
I hate to spend $35.00 on the BluRay. Upgrade in the transfer, possibly, downgrade in the extras, also probably.

Germanicus · 06-12-2012, 06:25 AM

First comes to mind are the handsome packaging of LOTR Extended Edition , Troy Ultimate Collector's Edition, Kingdom of Heaven Four-Disc Special Edition and AKIRA Limited Edition Tin.

blurayisnice · 06-12-2012, 06:28 AM

Almost every DVD... I don't see why I should sell them for a few dollars a piece... it would be a waste because you'll never get the chance to get them back. I have not a lot of DVD's, I think around 650 DVD's, so they are not taking much space. And most of the DVD's are movies I don't see being released on blu-ray anytime soon.
