Suggestions Please... - Blu-ray Forum

Hey everyone-

I'm looking for some suggestions on what titles to buy tomorrow. I plan on stopping at Best Buy on my lunch break to pick up 2 new Blu-rays. I'd appriciate it if you could give me some ideas on what to pick up. Blind buys are fine....when I buy 2 or more titles at once, one is almost always something I havent seen yet.

Here is my library so far (Don't laugh at my tiny selection...I'm just starting)

Black Hawk Down
Batman Begins
Dark Knight
Cloverfield
Eagle Eye
Hancock
Hulk
Ironman
Jumper
Miami Vice
Nick and Nora
My Best Friends Wedding
Pride & Glory - I'm still waiting 4 this 2 arrive. Ordered this 2 wks ago from Amazon Marketplace. Anyone seen this yet?
Rocknrolla
Serenity
Transformers
Wanted
X-men 3
X-Files

As you can see, I like pretty much all types of movies so any genere is fine-

Thanks for your help.

My suggestion would be to go to their website, to the Movies section, click on Blu-ray, then on the left, click "On Sale [1xx]"

There are a number of BDs on sale for $14.99 right now, both on Amazon as well as at Best Buy. Look through those titles to see if anything piques your interest. I, myself, picked up Ghost, American Gangster, Mummy, and Mummy Returns on sale today for $14.99 each. I also picked up "When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions" for $34.99, but that's just to tide me over until HBO ports "From the Earth to the Moon" over to BD, which I'm going through on SDVD right now. I wanted to get Casino and Clear & Present Danger, but they were both sold out.

You might need them to price-match the bestbuy.com website, but that's generally a painless process when it's something like a movie. They matched their own online price on all 5 of those titles for me today.

Most of the movies that were listed in their circular as $14.99 BDs were all sold out, but you should be able to find some gems for a decent price when you go.

p.s. Click on my collection to get an idea of what I have on BD; it's not a big list, but it's similar to yours. I checked specs and reviews on all of the $14.99 titles that piqued my interest, and took a pass on some of them like Goodfellas because of the lossy soundtrack, but mostly went against the reviews on a couple of Jack Ryan movies because I'm too big of a fan to pass them up.

I own Troy on DVD but it's one I was tinkinf about double dipping on. Is it worth doing that?

STARSCREAM · 02-19-2009, 08:27 AM

Kung Fu Panda and Wall*E. Both are excellent films and I noticed you don't have any animation titles. Now, go buy them!!!!

get ratatouille and wall-e

You will not be disapointed by either.

Maybe even incredible hulk, that is a good flick.

King Kong is also pretty good from what i hear.
