-- Arrested Development -- Office, The -- Prison Break I also blind bought The Wire: Complete Series. Everyone seems to love the show, Im really looking forward to watching it. |
Most of my favorite blind buys have been TV shows. Veronica Mars and the Wire come to mind.

My Young Auntie - Charlie had me laughing the whole movie.
A Good Year- All likeable characters and a great setting. Casino Royale- The last Bond I enjoyed this much was Living Daylights. |

Re: What was your best "Blind Buy"?
The majority of my movies are blind-buys. Buying DVD is how I watch movies. Out of approximately 1000 titles I own, I'd have to say only at max 200 of them I had seen on VHS.

Re: What was your best "Blind Buy"?
Gotta be Desperado... That film got me into Robert Rodriguez in a big way, leading me to blind buy or watch all his other films.

Welcome to DVD Talk, Robert. You'll find that the forum, in general, is already a big fan. No need to pimp yourself out like that.

I GET TO KEEP THE MOVIE! :D The best Blind Buy I've had for a TV Series is MacGyver. For some reason I never got around to watching it when it first came out, it's a pretty good show! |
Re: What was your best "Blind Buy"?
I've made very few blind buys. My best was definitely Amelie ... it ended up becoming my favorite movie.

Re: What was your best "Blind Buy"?
I blind-bought Memento, long before people started singing the praises for the movie (it had just come out on DVD), and I bought it because I had liked Guy Pearce from L.A. Confidential - and man! Blown away, was I.

Re: What was your best "Blind Buy"?
I read about "The American Astronaut" here on one of DVD Talk's end of the year best lists (one of the best independent releases). Blind bought and was blown away. It was a blind experience for my brother-in-law too, and he loved it so much that I bought him a copy.

Re: What was your best "Blind Buy"?
Like many others, Spaced sits atop the list. I only bought it based on a blurb about Shaun of the Dead. I figured someone who made a romcom with zombies in it has got to know what they're doing. Sent off the $55 to sendit.co.uk and passed that show around to many a friend.
A very, very close second is The Wire complete series last December, based solely on the ravings of this forum's members. And I have to say, its probably the greatest show to ever grace television. Watched the whole thing in just under 3 weeks. Others include: The Limey Shaun of the Dead Hot Fuzz Dark City The Office UK Extras Rome Kinsey Farscape BSG The Shield Dexter Seven Samurai Cowboy Bebop |
