Do you watch all of your movies? - Blu-ray Forum

Tanman19az · 01-02-2008, 08:29 PM

I see that many of you have over 50 blu-rays, some over 150 blu-rays. Do you guys buy movies because you are movie fanatics, or just to support our cause to make blu-ray the winning HD format?

Personally, I've looked through all the blu-ray movies available and I want only 30-40 movies, but Im jealous of you guys who have a huge collection cuz that probably looks sweet in your homes

Goodguy818 · 01-02-2008, 08:32 PM

I have about 106 BDs and was usually good with watching movies but with the recent holidays and xmas gifts i have about 8-10 sealed blurays i still need to watch

bhampton · 01-02-2008, 08:33 PM

I watch all of mine.

Usually more then once.

CptGreedle · 01-02-2008, 08:35 PM

I have a good number left to watch. But I watch usually 4-5 a week and we are making head way on it.
I told my wife I would not buy any more until after we finish watching them all. I better get started!

stockstar1138 · 01-02-2008, 08:36 PM

i have 55 (need to update my signature), of the 55 there are about a dozen I havn't watched. Reasons for not watching some of them are.

1. I got them in the 5 free blu-ray promo and don't really want them, but wanted another title, so I had to get this one too.

2. I like Spiderman 1 and 3, but 2 comes with it, so I got no choice but to own 2. Ill watch it someday, but not right now.

3. I got a good deal on a movie I like, I don't want to watch it now, but someday in the future when i got that urge to watch a particular movie Ill have it right there ready to go.

4. The worst one is, I bought them to support the format. I got 3 discovery HD documentries on australia, brazil and italy for 6.99 a piece. I said, hey its 20 bucks, and i might watch them sometime, whatever, ill support blu-ray cause its awesome.

Pilam69 · 01-02-2008, 08:38 PM

I have 50 right now, which actually shocked me. I have two seasons of Weeds and the Planet Earth on Blu which I count as one each to reach that #. I have watched every movie that I own.

To put that in perspective my wife and I own over 400 movies on DVD (including Star Wars twice).

I wish I had the disposable income to buy more movies (but if I did I wouldn't buy any more, I just would like to have the disposable income

). I am only buying what I consider "good" movies. I won't buy a BD movie just because it is BD, it has to be something that I know I'll watch more than once if I'm going to buy it.

Spider1981 · 01-02-2008, 08:56 PM

I have about 50'ish (need to update my dvdspot.com account to keep track), and I' say about half of them I still have yet to watch.
Some are ones that I replaced a DVD version of, and just haven't gotten around to watching yet, and some are ones I got over christmas.

I kind of go through movie watching phases. I'll watch several in one week, then not feel like watching any movies for a while, but I continue buying Blu's no matter what to help support the format

SuprSlow · 01-02-2008, 08:58 PM

I'd have to check to make sure, but I think I just passed the 50 mark. I've watched roughly 30 of them. The rest...I'm working on it

I went nuts with a few of the BOGO sales.

msallaq · 01-02-2008, 08:58 PM

i have 203 blu rays 175 of them r sealed . i only buy them to support blu.

Caligula · 01-02-2008, 08:59 PM

I watch all my movies over and again, i enjoy them even if i seen it 20 times... just like star wars i ve seen 100000000 times and i still enjoy the film

FruityOatyBar · 01-02-2008, 08:59 PM

I own a total of eight Blu-rays and I've watched all but one of them so far but I plan to watch that last one this week. Actually I got 3 of those movies as part of a promotion from Samsung and didn't have to pay for them.

Overall, I'm being HIGHLY selective about which movies to get. I have over 400 DVDs and I don't want to get near that amount on BD. I prefer to rent for the most part. I've found with my large DVD collection that I wind up watching very few of the ones I bought over and over again. I'm reserving BD for the movies that I'm sure to watch at least once a year.

JasonS · 01-02-2008, 08:59 PM

I officially own 65 Blu-ray movies, but about 12 of those are still yet to arrive from Amazon. Of the one's in my possession I've watched 85% of them. A lot of them that I haven't watched are because I got a bunch at one time (from a BOGO) and haven't had time to catch up yet. A couple movies I admit I got just because they were cheap on the BOGO and have no real desire to watch them more than once. That's why I now have signed up for Netflix and I am trying to do a better job of just renting and not owning.

cartman781 · 01-02-2008, 09:07 PM

With all of these BOGOs I am still working on the last few titles

Slec · 01-02-2008, 09:07 PM

I'm only buying movies that I like, and maybe a couple to show off what Blu-ray can do... At the beginning of December, I had 5 movies... with the BOGO's and X-mas, I now have 36 (with 4 more shipping today from Amazon).

There are still 8 or 9 movies I want, but I have too many to watch before I can justify buying these...

Short answer: yes

Bolaar · 01-02-2008, 09:11 PM

So far I have not watched about half...

Just been SO busy lately.

Hope too soon.

Just because this statement makes me curious,.. how many Blu Rays do you have? The way you word that makes me think you haven't started buying Blu Rays yet.

pizat · 01-02-2008, 09:17 PM

I am getting so close to breaking 100, but I watch all my movies multiple times...love it!

savage1984 · 01-02-2008, 09:18 PM

I love to buy Blu-Rays. Yes it's an addiction, money's a little low after the holidays. I buy them and buy them, and then try to find time to watch them. I love movies, but I rent quite a bit too. Plus I share the TV with my parents and I also play ps3 games and sports (Go Lakers) and screenwriting... so when I sit down to watch a bd, it's so relaxing and enjoyable. I still haven't watched the majority I've bought though.

makingmusic476 · 01-02-2008, 09:20 PM

I only buy movies that I realy like, and will watch multiple times, or movis that I kinda like and find a really good deal on (like Spidey 3 for $6.99).

There are only 3 BDs I own that I haven't watched yet - HP 1/2/4, because my ps3's disc drive stopped working a few days ago.
