I've only watched the theatrical cut, the thought of watching the extended version makes me want to cry

You will cry after watching the extended version. Tears of boredom that is.

Again, hate that I wasted my cash on it.

[Tech-UK]

There is only one blu out of my collection which I wish I hadn't bought:

[Show spoiler]Doomsday

[addyjones1234]

Final Destination (4)? The one that had 3D glasses. It was just awful, stopped 1/2 way through...

The only reason I managed to scrape through the shorter theatrical version was Emily Blunt.

Bad, bad, bad film!

That's understandable at least.

Back on topic I've got a right load of old shite in my collection...

28 Days Later
Cliffhanger
Final Fantasy
Halloween
Kill Bill vol 1 & 2
Tomb Raider
The Cradle Of Life
Silent Hill
Spiderman Trilogy
Underworld Trilogy
The Spirit
Tyson

WOAH! Sorry but I have to back up these titles here. 28 Days Later, Kill Bill, Tyson, the Underworld Trilogy and the Spider-man Trilogy are all really good films, especially 28 Days Later, an absolute British classic, and the Spider-man trilogy, they are amazing films and amazing Blu transfers. Sorry but I had to comment.

Terminator 2: Skynet Edition.

Aside from the fact that you need an internet connection to access features that are ON THE DISC, I also have an issue getting back to the menu once I've selected to play the movie.

Basically, once you start watching the movie, the only way to get back to the menu is to switch off the entire player and load the disc up again.

Oh but I do rate 28 Days Later, its just the crappy image quality (which I know is related to the source and all that) doesn't stop me being gutted that it wasn't originally shot in HD.

Tyson like the above I included on the basis that I may aswell have bought it on DVD, the Underworld trilogy imo was all style and very little substance (although Rise Of The Lycans was quite good), Kill Bill I simply never really took to and the Spiderman trilogy, I dunno, guess I found it just that little bit *too* childish. Part 3 was just plain shit.

*Obligatory in my oppinion of course

Oh, OK, the image quality for 28 Days later is poor, and extremely ugly, but that's the way it was intended to look, which I respect. The Underworld trilogy rocks, just my opinion, and I also agree that Spider-man 3 is rubbish, but the first two are amazing, especially the second, the third was more childish in my opinion. I respect your comments though mate.

[Captain Morphus]

Cargo.

The movie looked allright, but the story just never drew me in.

[luwanda]

Oh i have a "good" one for this thread: Diarios de motocicleta ( The Motorcycle Diaries ) my god!

Magnolia - Like hell I'm gonna waste another 3 hours of my life watching that pretencious tripe.

I was watching this earlier, I didn't have any problem getting back to the menu from the movie (on PS3). I watched the extended, then the last couple of mins of extended version with the alternate ending.

Getting from inserting disc to main menu is a bit slow though.

21 Grams - Blind buy and thought it wasn't very good. Not my kind of film
A Clockwork Orange - Really old and didn't enjoy it (I just can't watch really old films)
Magnolia - Havn't watched it yet, and keep putting it off because it's so long and I just can't fit the time in to watch it

Don't bother watching Magnolia. It's 2 1/2 hours of building up to something. Then that something is so dissapointing.

I almost wanted to pay my mrs money for the time I wasted of hers watching after insisting on putting it on.

[SymbioticFunction]

Ha. I enjoy at least several of the releases that make their appearances on this thread.

God I hate that film, I was misfortunate enough to see it at the cinema... My biggest regret was not walking out. I've not seen it since because it's currently top of my most hated films of all time! Apprantly I'm not a Paul Thomas Anderson fan because I've disliked every single one of his films. The top three worst is rounded off by There will be Blood and The Thin Red Line. I've always been fansinated by the fact both PTA films are in the IMDb top 250.... Wonder what's wrong with me that I hate them so much?

Really? I watched this last night and thought it was one of the better 'catalogue' WB titles.

As for my BD that I wish I had not bought ... "Knowing". Total garbage.

[X-Vision]

Highlander 2.

Beyond abysmal picture quality. It reminded me of the olden days when I recorded tv-movies on VHS.
