I got that one (The Warriors) but never owned it on VHS...

obiwopkenobi62 · 04-01-2008, 09:53 PM

Now were talking. You got it on BR good for you.

stockstar1138 · 04-01-2008, 09:55 PM

NONE

The only blus that I have on VHS, are Black Hawk Down and The Matrix and I didn't buy either of those on DVD.

Yep. And got it on sale. I think it was 12.99. Can't remember where I purchased, but it was one of those mail-order sales.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 04-01-2008, 10:03 PM

Oh man, do I have to do this thins? I have like over 400 DVDs and VHS lying around.

owa · 04-01-2008, 10:11 PM

Edit: My bad, I didn't read the subject close enough. I don't have any on more than 3 formats since I skipped laserdisc.

I'm pretty sure I have several titles on VHS, DVD and blu-ray but I can't easily check since my VHS tapes are boxed up and part of the my DVD collection is as well. The only title I'm absolutely certain on is ID4. I have two copies of it on VHS (one that I played and one that I saved), the special edition on DVD and the theatrical version on blu-ray.

Blue_Baron · 04-01-2008, 11:58 PM

I forgot one...I also have Enter the Dragon on VHS, Laserdisc, DVD and Blu-ray.

jw · 04-02-2008, 04:05 AM

Alot
Have them on VHS, DVD, BD and MP4

Marcusarilius · 04-02-2008, 04:07 AM

version on BD!

Roland1919 · 04-02-2008, 04:10 AM

With Blu, that would make 3 formats, not more than 3. I was one of the people who sold off my VHS tapes once I started getting into DVD. So, I only have two formats...

Xen · 04-02-2008, 01:20 PM

Tons on 3 formats, but the only one that breaks the barrier is The Fifth Element. I've had it on VHS, DVD, UMD, a digital copy (does this count?) and Blu Ray.

tmok2000 · 04-02-2008, 01:36 PM

I only have one:

The Song Remains the Same -- Led Zeppelin

I owned it on VHS, DVD, and BD. And I also own it on LP and CD. I guess you can say 5 formats!

BaronVH · 04-02-2008, 02:45 PM

Now:

2001
Blade Runner
Superman: The Movie
The Dirty Dozen
Terminator 1-2
Total Recall

Soon due to announced titles:

Lawrence of Arabia (most anticipated Blu-ray title)
Patton
A Bridge too Far
The Battle of Britian
The Longest Day

Hopefully soon due to unannounced titles:

Forbidden Planet
Braveheart
Saving Private Ryan
Excalibur
Mutiny on the Bounty
Bridge on the River Kwai
Dr. Zhivago
The Guns of Navaronne
Countless others

Looking at my list makes me think that there is a failing to get out high quality catalog titles. I mean, for Total Recall to be on my list is a travesty. That movie sucks (guilty pleasure). Some of Sony's big dogs should have gotten some David Lean out and the critics would have flocked to the format early on.

Beta Man · 04-02-2008, 02:51 PM

I never purchased videos in the VHS/BETA MAX days, but was an early adopter of DVD, so I'm only "Dual-Format" at this point (I do have HD DVD, but no doubles from HD DVD to Blu)

casey76 · 04-02-2008, 03:29 PM

Right now I only have The Terminator.

In the future I'll probably have:

Star Wars (1,4-6)
Tombstone
Top Gun
Nightmare On Elm Street

That may be it. I only really started buying movies when I got a DVD player, I only had at most 10 movies on VHS (that number may be a little high).
