thanks :P

You know what six movies average out to be pretty good? The six original Star Trek movies.

Do they have a time limit? If not I would wait for Star Wars, you seem to like mob movies you don't have Casino, Six-String Samurai.

Yea mob movies are my favorite. And i already pre ordered star wars box set

Did not see Casino when i looked at your collection.

Why spend them all at once? There are a lot of good releases coming out over the next few months.

Agreed. BB giftcard does not expire. So you can take your own sweet time to wait for good deals and new release sales.

Check this thread out too. Someone was asking what he should do with his BB gift card.

i believe i have 90 days to spend it.

Humm, $90

Check out these movie gems:
2 Days in the Valley
After Hours
Bound
Blood Simple
Deep Cover
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

Check and make sure. If it's a plastic gift card, it should last at least a year.

Create a thread title that is more discriptive? Sure I'll help.. how about "Help me decide on six movies". See, now people don't have to click the thread to realize what this thread is about. Ahh the wonderful world of discriptive thread titles.

get the Alfred Hitchcock Signature Collection

This puzzles me. If I had $90 to blow at Best Buy, I could think of tons of things I would get. Why let a bunch of strangers come up with blind buys for you?

Because its fun to spend other people money for them. LOL

Thanks for playing everyone... we now have a winner.

You seem to be into action movies and violence, sounds like a potential Peckinpah fan to me. Check out The Getaway, an awesome heist movie with Steve McQueen, or The Wild Bunch, maybe the goriest most violent western ever.

Since you like Tarantino you might want to dig up some films that he's referenced in his movies, the Lone Wolf and Cub movies were a big influenc on Kill Bill and are great Samurai splatterfest type flicks (there was a recent thread explaining them that you find with the search). The Killers (both 46 and 64) were obvious predecessors to Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.

You don't look like much of a foreign film fan, but you have Battle Royalle so I'll go out on a limbe and reccomend City of God. Not that it's like BR, more a Spanish language cross between Goodfellas and Traffic taking places in the slums of Sao Paulo. Every bit as interesting visually as those films as well. Top Stuff.

That put enough a dent in your gift card?

Miller's Crossing is a great Gangster movie that you don't own. I highly recommend it.

this is what I would do. The regular prices at Best Buy suck ($21.99 for a $26.95 MSRP movie). I prefer to wait for the 2 for $20, 2 for $15 or 3 for $20 sales.

If you wanna buy something at full retail buy video games or electronics or something like that.

I'm with the group that says spread it out some. No need to blow your load all at once. besides, this could be a way you can save your real cash without buying something you don't really want simply because you feel the need to spend the gift card.

Just wait till stuff is on new release sales and so forth. Save it for black friday when everything will be pretty cheap.

I'd go with some tv shows, like Family Guy or Ali G or something like that. I would also spread it out, instead of sinking into one boxed set, if possible.

I'd sink it all into one boxed set. It's easy to pick up a $15 release here and a $20 release there. But to pick up an $80 or $90 release is a bigger commitment.

That's just how I'd do it. And I'd blow it on the upcoming Hitchcock set.
