Just wondering, since I've heard good things and all three films score highly on IMDB. I don't really know much about the movies since I avoid spoilers as much as possible. Is there a good way to tell if I'd like this?

That's a hard question to answer since they're quite different from the average American movie. But after looking at your collection, I'd say there's a good chance you'd enjoy them. It's also an excellent set for the price.

I'd say go for it. You can also check out my collection to get a good idea of the kind of movies I like. That might give you a better frame of reference.

This is indeed a tough thing to say.
The movies are not for everyone. They are the pensive, meditative types. . .with those you can never give a straight "yes" or "no" recommendation.

My advice for you is to do what I did:
Rent/See Blue. I liked it. I figured I ought to go ahead and just order the whole trilogy. I ended up loving all 3 films (I think if you like one, you'll like the others).

If you like it, go ahead and order the trilogy (30 dollars on Amazon, a spectacular deal). The special features are also great.

So see one and then decide how you like it.

My Hollywood had Blue on VHS, so if you have a hollywood near you, call and see if they have it.

Yeah, that's a tough one... The three films are all very good to excellent. But that doesn't mean that you'll like them... I'd go with the advice from theneobez, rent Blue if you can find it and go from there.

I expected to like them, but really don't at all. I seem to be in the minority of my film snob friends, however.

These are the movies that hooked me on foreign films. BLUE still amazes me. By far my favorite movie.

Just Do It, man;
Just Do It
