Blu-rays you had, but gave away? - Blu-ray Forum

Phil92 · 06-28-2011, 06:44 PM

Rush Hour 3 - Am still waiting on a Blu-ray trilogy set.
Flightplan - Didn't like the movie.
Enchanted - Wanted the new Blu/DVD combo, but couldn't find it anywhere, so re-brought the first release.
Furry Vengeance - Not liking the movie doesn't come close to what I felt whilst watching it.
Tangled 3D - Traded the US edition and brought the UK release, as it matched my collection more.
Dark Water - I hate the 'evil kid' genre (excluding The Omen), so watched it once and sold it on. Plus, the ending was

[Show spoiler]

as hell.

What about you guys?

Kickboxer - Sold it after I saw how dirty the transfer was
The Running Man - Paid $15 for it then sold it for $10; then bought the The Running Man / Red Heat Double Feature for $10.

That's the only two I can think if right now.

I should be purchasing the Stanley Kubrick: Visionary Filmmaker Collection in the near future (if I have enough will power not to spend my money on other titles), so I've decided to give my copies of A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Shining to a chap I was once friends with, the next time I see him.

I had a copy of the film JCVD with lossy sound, so I decided to get the better UK release which has lossless sound. Didn't really see the point of owning two versions of the same film so I gave the lossy copy to my brother.

When I got Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut last Christmas, I gave my friend the Motion Comics BD because he liked them and I really didn't. I put my Director's Cut in its place.

Haven't given one away yet - although if prices keep dropping who knows

Agent Bond · 06-28-2011, 09:56 PM

Pirates of The Carribean. I wasn't impressed with the film.

ozzsoad · 06-28-2011, 10:00 PM

Charlies Angels - I remember thinking it was a cool movie around when it first came out, it really didn't age well for me.

Unforgiven - It was a last minute X-Mas gift for someone. I've since replaced it.

poke smot · 06-28-2011, 10:24 PM

dragon wars
hard rain
near dark
fringe season 1
heat
sold to a pawn shop, so yeah, pretty much gave them away.

Rob J in WNY · 06-28-2011, 10:32 PM

Awhile back, I gave Blazing Saddles away. I love Mel Brooks, but it just wasn't as funny as it was to me twenty years ago. It was given to a very appreciative movie-loving buddy who had just broken into Blu-ray in his home at the time.

ps3bd_owner · 06-29-2011, 12:02 AM

Maybe Bruno, but it'd be the only title I'd ever give away, if that were to happen.

I keep all my Blu-rays/DVDs/Games/etc, I don't donate it nor give it to someone else. Gave my nephews two games but that's about it.

Tom Hiddleston · 06-29-2011, 12:07 AM

I bought Donnie Darko, and a copy of The Silence of the Lambs came with it, and I hate that movie and my stepdad loves it, so I gave it to him.

I kinda did the same, but I gave my solo disc of the motion comics away after I got the "Ultimate Edition" set.

Rebelwithoutacause · 06-29-2011, 12:21 AM

I gave a copy of The Dark Knight to one of my brother's friends for helping us pick up a dining set.

I gave a copy of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Skynet Edition) to another friend because it's one of his favourite movies.

The other movie that I gave away was a copy of Valkyrie to my brother. He enjoyed the movie so much and would constantly mention how he wanted to get in on BD, so I just gave him mine.

I have replaced all of the above, though.

MJW · 06-29-2011, 12:26 AM

I got The Karate Kid (2010) as part of a PlayStation 3 bundle from Amazon on Black Friday and sold it, unopened, on eBay. I hadn't seen the movie and didn't really want to, so I figured I'd sell it and use the money to buy a title I was interested in later.

lkmg · 06-29-2011, 12:29 AM

i have given none of my blu rays away so far. but i did give away many dvds.
