just got corpse bride because i kinda liked the packaging. the lenticular one at that.

Same here. Had to choose between this and Dukes of Hazzard Unrated this afternoon. Not really a big fan of animation (with some exceptions) but the CB packaging is really cool plus the movie itself has been getting good reviews from both critics and film buffs. Have to see what the fuss is about.

Corpse Bride CE - bought it for the toy, and of course, the very attractive pricing on this collector's edition

My recent purchase: The 40 yr old virgin and Napoleon Dynamite, should have researched/rented them first.

Sure, years ago. I bought Town & Country and How To Kill Your Neighbour's Dog at some Blockbuster in Ohio. And House of Mirth a year later in a Borders shop in Charlotte, NC naman.

Do I regret it? Only the HTKYND lang naman. One of the most boring films I've ever seen

I agree...Your hse is already considered a mini movie theater na...much more comfortable pa

Movie_Geek_Tom, wow 65% of your collection is a lot of unwatched movies...you'll need a few marathon sessions

I just bought Hostel Unrated which I never saw in theaters so I won't know kung anong nadagdag.

techdude · « **Reply #164 on:** Jun 25, 2006 at 08:22 PM »

Actually 90% of the DVD I bought, I never watched in the Theater. I don't know, I am just not a theater guy, most of the time, even if I liked a movie, I wouldn't watch it during it's theatrical run, and just watch it after I get the DVD.

For one, I passed on Pixar's Cars.

I usually base my purchases on a DVD's reviews, feedbacks, and whether the subject matter is of my interest.

pjayg · « **Reply #165 on:** Jun 25, 2006 at 08:35 PM »

same here ... most of my purchases were titles i haven't watched on the big screen ... and what's worse is that i still haven't got time to watch around 30% of my DVDs

d4nu65+3R · « **Reply #166 on:** Jun 25, 2006 at 08:48 PM »

i just got harrison ford's firewall which i did not catch in the theatres, and after watching it, im glad i saved myself all the trouble. dont get me wrong, it was not that bad. yun nga lang as i have said already, been there done that na yung role ke indy.
ill probably be getting the lake house and cars and the omen when they come out on dvd. havent had the chance to catch these because of my busy work sched.

Most of the DVDs I have, I didn't watched them in theaters, even on cable. All of my Asian films too (Chinese, Korean), I haven't seen them before, because they aren't shown in our local theaters.

Whenever I buy a movie on DVD that I haven't seen yet, I usually have a good feeling that the movie is good therefore I barely have any misses in my collection but, there are some films that werent as good as I felt

Hits
Lawrence of Arabia
Once Upon a Time in America
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Lion in Winter(1968)
Iron Giant
Unforgiven
Little Women(1933)
To Have & Have Not(1940)
King of Kings

Misses(not as good as I felt)
Around the World in 80 Days(1956) = I personally feel that 10 Commandments should be Best Picture of
1956 and not this.
Time After Time
Mists of Avalon

aszamora · « **Reply #174 on:** Sep 03, 2006 at 10:50 AM »

Yes, and my latest addition to my list is Memoirs of a Geisha. For the P333 sale price for the 2-discer, I gave in.

DVDeophile · « **Reply #175 on:** Oct 09, 2006 at 08:10 AM »

Recent purchase was Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift... Somehow, I'm obligated to buy the sequels eventhough I haven't watched them if they are good or not. It's nice to see that you have the complete set of titles in your collection. Coming titles that I have to buy are Garfield 2 and Texas Chainsaw 2.

You won't regret getting Cinema Paradiso. It's a must have & a must watch for all film enthusiasts.

RNIverson · « **Reply #178 on:** Oct 11, 2006 at 09:13 AM »

been hearing good reviews all the time for this film, and im positive there wont be any regrets. i've been more careful and selective lately of my dvd purchases. the hd-dvd & blu-ray fever is starting to make me think... wag na gastos ng gastos unless collectible or a favorite film

back to topic...

recently preordered OldBoy (tartan 3disc) with Azumi (2disc), both r1 releases this november. i've been craving for these films the past 2 years, and been waiting for a boxset with sequels until now. i wont mind double dipping for these titles for an upgrade, or whenever that dream boxset is released

sosy_high · « **Reply #179 on:** Oct 11, 2006 at 09:44 AM »

my hitlists:

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance-simply amazing and mesmerizing and enjoyable. A modern piece of art!

Monster-great....it blowns me away! simply the best and Theron is great!
