There are a handful of movies I want to have on Blu Ray (Commando would make the cut for me, too), mainly so I can share them with my son when he's older, but I just don't have that collecting bug for movies like I used to. Plus, with so many movies available to stream instantly from various sources, it just seems kind of silly to take up space with something that's only a couple clicks away.Bob Igniziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630416222197419152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-41393229773093007292011-09-27T19:00:04.430-07:002011-09-27T19:00:04.430-07:00I totally know what you mean, I often feel I have ...I totally know what you mean, I often feel I have so many thing to watch and just never enough time to watch them all.

I would rather watch something I haven't seen. When I do get the itch to revisit a favorite of mine, I realize that it's not within my reach.<br /><br />For instance, I recently craved Ginger Snaps (the film, not the snack), but I don't own it on DVD. I thought I did, but I was thinking of my VHS copy. And my VCR is on the fritz! Stupid shit like that happens to me all the time.Dom Coccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843380116571749866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-46506944671343674632011-09-27T10:18:11.686-07:002011-09-27T10:18:11.686-07:00sm_hayes90, I don't know if PS is underrated o...sm_hayes90, I don't know if PS is underrated or not. I get the impression that it's pretty well regarded. I have mixed feelings about it myself. It came out when I was in college and thanks to having to finish a paper, I didn't go see it with the rest of my dorm floor, who all came back raving about it. I saw it by myself a few nights later and felt that too much had been left out of the book and that the casting of the main couple was weak. But...I've soften on it in the years since and have to say there's some really powerful scenes there. <br /><br />Emily, when I look at my movie collection - well, at least the portions of it I can fit in my own house, the rest residing in my mother's attic (and basement!) - I sometimes think about my late grandmother's collection which consisted of about ten VHS tapes of her favorites. I have to wonder whose collection was more wisely managed.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-76107483176793253512011-09-27T04:36:22.836-07:002011-09-27T04:36:22.836-07:00I echo Matt.

It's intense.<br /><br />In the end, I experiment most of the time and then every few weeks, find I go on a bender with the classics I own: Starship Troopers, Dawn of the Dead, The Running Man, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and a few select more.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-75172703772609409492011-09-26T21:14:11.956-07:002011-09-26T21:14:11.956-07:00I hear you on this one.

However, the month of October is right around the corner and I always try to squeeze in as many horror movies as possible. I did 47 last October, but was doing all my schooling online then. I hope to still fit in a decent amount this time around.<br /><br />Also, I would say the horror movie I end up going to most often is Pet Sematary. I like the cheesiness of it as much as I like the creepy parts (the sister, Zelda), and Jud is great character too. I think it's a bit of an underrated horror movie.sm_hayes90https://www.blogger.com/profile/04074874466947996696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-5140368055358081192011-09-26T20:36:11.312-07:002011-09-26T20:36:11.312-07:00Word.

I think if I actually determined which of my movies I rewatch the most, I could whittle my collection down to, like, fifteen or twenty essential films and one of them would be CommandoJeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-161560476891477222011-09-26T19:52:18.066-07:002011-09-26T19:52:18.066-07:00Yeah, I suffer from those same thoughts.

It can drive a man insane! <br /><br />I often find that I am more apt to watch a film that I haven't for the sole reason that I feel like there isn't enough time to actually sit down and watch as many films as I want to in my lifetime, let alone watch them two or three times. <br /><br />Then again, I do always seem to make time for both Bloodsport and Commando, but that's a whole different ball game right there!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.com
