Another Rate my collection thread

anyways, I know some of you don't like these threads which is fine, if you don't want to rate it, no problem.

For those that do, What do you think? I know a lot of these films are mainstream which after coming to these forums i've slowly beginning to change.

You could probably return Catch me if you Can, Spiderman, and the other ones you accidently picked up as Full Screen and tell them you made a mistake.

yeah, I also don't like fullscreen. Catch me if you can and Spiderman I got from Columbiahouse and wasn't aware that they were full screen editions until I received.

Nice collection. It's a little heavy on current, domestic movies for my tastes, as you noted, but if that's what floats your boat, go for it. I agree with Slasher's comments about the FS discs.....shame shame.

A couple of things jumped out at me: You have "Scorpion King" but not the two "Mummy" prequels. Also "Signs" is there, but no "Sixth Sense" which I thought a superior film.

You might also want to consider some older pictures too. I noticed you have Blazing Saddles, you might want to thnk about "Young Frankenstein" or some of Mel's other movies. "Kentucky Fried Movie" might be up your alley too since you also have "Super Troopers."

BTW how is "Jimi Hendrix"? I've been on the fence for a while on that one. You might want to consider the Criterion "Monterey Pop" set. It's pricey, but worth it. In addition to the original movie, it has "Jimi Plays Monterey" which includes just about his whole set there (if not the whole thing...I forget.) Great stuff.

So anyone want to rate my collection?

I agree with Videophile, try some foreign flicks, old and current, a shot of anime would be nice too.

Arrrgh. I swear I've never locked it, but sometimes people can't access the link. I'll look into it and post when I've gotten the kinks worked out.

Sorry,

the Jimi Hendrix dvd is pretty good, mostly just a documentary with a few songs from concerts, if you're a big Hendrix fan it's a must buy IMO.

That's strange....I can pull it up. I went and locked it, logged out, logged back in and unlocked it. If someone could try it and LMK if it's still locked, I'dd app. it.

Movie Diva: Nice mix! Anime, classic films, Hitchcock, a few criterions, drama, comedy, and some TV series. It's even a little heavy on SF, which is alright by me! Good collection.

that's odd, it's unlocked now. anyways I can't really rate either of your collections, seeing as I know nothing about a large portion of these DVD's. I really need to add a lot more variety to mine. I like movies along the Mulholland Drive, Vanilla Sky, Donnie Darko line... movies that are pretty far out there... any recommendations foreign films included would be greatly appreciated.

thks

videophile - Nice collection. Looks like you need some anime... j/k

With a large collection like that, it's nice to feel like I didn't just walk into a Blockbuster. Bravo!

Videophile, I love your collection, we have a lot of the same and you have I Claudius, way to go and the older movies, the Bob Hope. You have something for every mood I might be in.

May I introduce you to Takashi Miike. Try Audition, Fudoh and Visitor Q.

A lot of new stuff... Not a bad base for a collection...

Of course, it's been covered, BAD FULLSCREEN BAD!!!

You should expand more into the 70's-90's.
