DVD Buyers: Question - GoFuckYourself.com

Amputate Your Head · 10-23-2002, 04:09 PM

For those of you that buy movies on DVD like myself, how often do you re-watch your movies, if ever? I've rewatched a few of the cool funny ones, but for the most part, they get watched once and then begin their dust collecting lives.

I watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation about 3-4 times every year before Christmas and still laugh my ass off.

Loch · 10-23-2002, 04:12 PM

might be years till one brings them out again...but hell you just gotta have enough hehe

Spoonie Luv · 10-23-2002, 04:12 PM

I watched Kingpin a shitload of times when I first got it. I like to have them for when I'm in the mood to watch a DVD but too lazy to go to Ballbuster (usually I just go to ballbusters though, since I get these free coupons).

quiet · 10-23-2002, 04:13 PM

pretty much. except for music and snowboarding dvds (which i watch all the time). bumfights has been watched a couple of times already, and it's pretty new :)

Cheshire · 10-23-2002, 04:13 PM

I own 3 DVDs ~ and when I feel like watching one, it's ALWAYS Oceans 11

yeah, I like that one too..... great movie.... I'm way into 3000 Miles To Graceland too.... I've watched it probly 9 times now... lol

cold_ice · 10-23-2002, 04:17 PM

I buy a few every month and only watch a few over and over, mostly just in the backgorund while I do other things. So its kind of a waste of money cuz there are some I only watch once. Then again if you rent one it will cost about $5 and if a return it late like I do most of the time then that just turn into $10, and dvd cost between $10-$25 so might as well buy it cuz after you rent it you might want to buy it anyways. Damn did I make that more difficult than I had to.

Jizar II · 10-23-2002, 04:18 PM

I buy a shitload of DVDs that I never re-watch.. often when we go to the Cinama, it´s the same drill, "WOW I want that movie on DVD as soon as it´s released!!".. and then I order it and place it next to the other DVDs.. When I actually watch it, it´s often pretty boring compared to the Cinema experience. Actually I hate watching a movie twice! Some movies you just gotta own

Amputate Your Head · 10-23-2002, 04:20 PM

definately.... some movies simply MUST be owned....

like Pulp Fiction.

Amputate Your Head · 10-23-2002, 04:20 PM

Snatch is another great 'must own' dvd.....

pr0 · 10-23-2002, 04:20 PM

I re-watch national lampoons vacation & x-mas vacation 2-3 times a year.

If i get some really good weed, i watch it 4-5 times a year.

i was actually going to mention that exact movie. i think it was the first dvd i ever bought...

cold_ice · 10-23-2002, 04:21 PM

The ones that get the most play are: Bravehart, Knight's tale Scarface and pretty much anything with Julia Roberts or Mel Gibson

BumpUglyz · 10-23-2002, 04:24 PM

That is true, I upgraded all my Mob Movies to DVD and they just sit there

But I do watch my Sopranos DVDs over and over.

SetTheWorldonFire · 10-23-2002, 04:25 PM

I don't buy my dvds. I just borrow em from cold_ice. Then they collect dust in my collection. Hey, did I give you that forrest gump back yet?

Anyway, I think it's really just a fetish.

Sly_RJ · 10-23-2002, 04:25 PM

I probably have about 15. Haven't seen many more than once. Although I've watched LOTR and The Matrix several times...

ibjem2 · 10-23-2002, 04:31 PM

Amp,

Netflix is the answer for you, but, I dont know if they can reach you in Hawaii

I use them all the time, 21 bucks a month and I get my dvd mailed to my house, then I drop em in the mail back (all postage in there as well) and you can hang onto them as long as you want.

Only ones I own, Pulp Fiction (must have) and its a wonderful life (christmas eve viewing only)

Other than that, I have em delivered to the house and mail em back. Netflix rocks!!!!

Jim

3000 Miles to Graceland? LOL ..I didn't know someone liked this shitty movie hehe

GoLiaT · 10-23-2002, 05:16 PM

i only buy those that where very popular when they where new
yesterday i saw platoon again , just as good as when i saw it the first time..

Fletch XXX · 10-23-2002, 05:20 PM

Tons of DVDs, TONs of CDs, rotation all day.

all the South Park DVDs are constantly spinning - tons of horror DVD double features with cartoons between like at the drive in theatre, I play horror DVDs while I listen to music and just leave the tv on for viewing.

jreaka · 10-24-2002, 10:21 AM

Hell i buy almost all mu DVD'S, have over 100.

my lazt ass is the one who doesn't return the movies on time and end up paying 20.00 in late fee's, so i figured might as well buy 'em!

MaxDent · 10-24-2002, 10:28 AM

I collect really obscure dvds and movies so when my friends come over they don't borrow them. Plus I can watch them over and over and not get bored.

playa · 10-24-2002, 10:33 AM

some movies are a must if you have a gold digital surround sound,,

most of the times i like to replay scenes,

some good ones are
top gun
matrix
saving private ryan
and ya
3000 miles to graceland is great to listen too,
you literally feel like your in the movie

I am with AYH. I have caught myself watching this movie over and over again. I can watch the ending (Shootout with Murphy) over and over again. Cracks me up when he tells the kid to run and he will cover him.

I can't decide which is better.... the casino shootout or the Murphy shootout at the end..... hehehe.... they both kick ass.

especially on my CinemaVision widescreen and the surround...

Lane · 10-24-2002, 01:04 PM

DVD standard isnt even gonna last for too long... not worth it

titmowse · 10-24-2002, 02:18 PM

there's a few in my little collection i watch over and over.

ibjem2, you are correct. netflix is amazing. no late fees! i got oceans' eleven coming this week and we still have monsters incorporated from two weeks ago.

i paid for a subscription to a dvd magazine called total movies and dvd because they promised 40 free dvds as a sign-up bonus. that was six months ago and i still haven't recieved them. i've called them several times and they keep telling me some bullshit story. this last time they told me (in september) that my 40 had actually been mailed.

really pisses me off cause there was some swell oldies in that collection. bastards.
