Blu-Movies you bought that you never seen or owned before - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

Ooops 2. I have 9 films so far. 2 I bought blind were Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City Music Hall, it fills up the whole screen and Radio City looks amazing on a big screen TV, not to mention that its a great concert. The other was Blue Planet Imax which I thought wasnt very good. I do want to get Blue Planet:Seas of life though. Their special on creatures from the deep was amazing.

I have never seen the Shinning or 2001 on either DVD or in the movies I have however seen it on TV at a glance. I am seriouly think about picking up these two this weekend just because they are two great movies that I haven't experience as yet and the picture quality is great.

Out of about 25 Blu-ray films I've only watched two before buying them. I never read review's or watch adverts for films before buying Blu-rays. I stopped going to the cinema, watching films on TV and buying DVD's several years ago so I'd have a large selection of new material to buy in HD. If I ever see a film preview I close my eyes and block my ears so I don't get any hints of the plot.

ground chuck · 01-10-2008, 12:37 PM

layer cake - glad i bought
war - haven't watched yet
3:10 to yuma - haven't received yet

camper · 01-10-2008, 01:27 PM

I think I've got maybe a dozen movies total in SD that are blind buys, but nothing is a blind buy in Blu.

I usually know enough about a movie to decide whether I want to see it at all, and since I don't rent movies if I want to watch it then I'm going to buy it.

Now, if your question is did I buy them ONLY because they're on Blu Ray, then I have a few of those:

Open Season
Sky High
Surfs Up
Underdog

I haven't watched Surfs Up yet, but I was pleasantly surprised by both Sky High and Underdog and am very happy I own them. My son especially loves Underdog (or superdog as he likes to say - he's 3). I'm ambivalent towards Open Season. It's OK I guess, but I'm not a fan of Ashton Kutcher, Debra Messing, or Martin Lawrence, and while I seem to get all of why I don't like any of them packed into this film, at least the visuals are worth it.

I bought 300 on recommendations from my friends & this site without seeing it. The same thing with 2001, buy my dad said it was a good movie and so did you guys.

jrrosas · 01-10-2008, 04:43 PM

mmh.. Chain Reaction, Hart's war (both 5 freebies promotion), I was going to buy blindly 3:10 to yuma but blockbuster online picked it up before I could do that

Dark Steel · 01-10-2008, 05:02 PM

Maybe 6 or 7 out of 81 titles for me. Most recently 3:10 to Yuma.

scott87 · 01-11-2008, 08:28 AM

letters from iwo jima
flags of our fathers

i really enjoyed letters from iwo jima still haven't sat down and watched flag of our fathers, thats it off the top of my head at the momment

dahoover · 01-10-2008, 07:14 PM

I will sometimes "Blindbuy", but it really depends on who was involved with the movie and what genre it is.

So far on Blu-Ray the only movie I have blind bought was 300. I heard tons of good things about it and knew that I would love it.

FilmmakingFiasco · 01-10-2008, 07:18 PM

Black Snake Moan
Rescue Dawn
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Sunshine

Galley · 01-10-2008, 09:34 PM

Reign Over Me

hayzink · 01-10-2008, 11:38 PM

dejavu and shooter have been my only blu blind buys.

well happy with both

Quad · 01-11-2008, 05:10 AM

Die Hard 4, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Blue Planet: Imax.

dadkins · 01-11-2008, 05:13 AM

All except Stealth(8 out of 9 total) were Blu-ray first watches.

mystiksuicide · 01-11-2008, 05:32 AM

I have bought many movies based on reviews and type of movies I like.

Few movies I have bought I never seen before: The Condemned, 300, Italian Job, Mr Brooks, and Resident Evil Trilogy.

mtl007 · 01-11-2008, 05:55 AM

Phantom of the Opera, Planet Earth, Casino Royale are some of the blu I bought that I have never seen before and paid almost full price. Never regretted it. Then the BOGOs helped in replacing my DVD titles.
