Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
Obviously the Basket Case trilogy
My collection is not in Alphabetical order but if it was these clumps might be second string picks Big Bad Mama, The Big Lebowski & Big Trouble in Little China Black Sheep, Black Snake Moan, Black Tight Killers Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh, Blue Thunder Blues Brothers Shortly after looking through the B's I lost interest in this post |
Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
Love the setup for this thread, milo.
My discs are all stored in 240-disc zippered binders with padded handles for easy grabbing off the shelf. I'd just grab one of those and be set. Probably the first one, which has the majority of my super-hero stuff in it (all the DC stuff, and then Marvel up to Fantastic Four). However, if I had a standard shelf storage system like most of you seem to have, I'd grab Justice League Season 1 Justice League Season 2 Justice League Unlimited Season 1 Luckily they're in basically regular-sized cases. Somebody trying to grab all 3 of the LOTR extended editions might have trouble, since the aliens are dragging you away and you might only have one hand free. |

Well, I don't have any real order to mine other than that I keep my sci-fi and horror together, My 30's -50's together(which is the largest of what I have) and everything else together.
Let's just say i grab the first three on the shelf from the left: if Sci-fi-Horror: it would be just three Masters of Horror titles since I don't have the whole set just ones I like: Incident on and Off a Mountain Road, Cigarette Burns and Deer Woman so sort of short changed on length there. If 30's- 50's: Out of the Past, On The Beach, and The Day the Earth Stood Still, the last one being rather ironic and I'm sure the aliens would find amusing. Everything else: Last Night (the canadian film about the last day of Earth's existance), Cast Away and The Illusionist |

Awesome thread idea. In a decade's time it's hard to find such a fresh idea. Kudos to Milo.
So if I were to take 3 totally random movies for a "desert island" type response I would have chosen Braveheart, Almost Famous and the Crow. Imagine my surprise when I glanced at my Blu-ray shelf and there staring at me is: Almost Famous Braveheart The Dark Knight Win! On the DVD side of things, the best looking combo is: Saving Private Ryan Jaws Chasing Amy The only reason I would hesitate to grab those is that they are autographed. I don't need some grubby alien tentacles all over my autographed loot. |

Seemed kinda quiet in this part lately, thought I'd try to inject some non-Florida wackiness into this section. |

Is that second group sitting next to each other on your shelf though? Or are they separated out like that since they're autographed?

Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
Edit: Added a Blu-ray trio to my previous selections. They are:
The Dark Knight The Departed Eyes Wide Shut The nice thing about those three is that they're all long. They'd help kill the time between probings, I think, and maybe give me some inspiration for how to combat my captors. Of course, I might get some kind of Stockholm syndrome on account of them being kind enough to supply me with a DVD/Blu-ray player and a TV on which to watch these movies. |

They are separated from the rest of the collection, sure, but they are also sitting next to each other on a different shelf just like I posted.

Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
I don't think the aliens are blu-ray compatible yet.

Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
You got me thinking. Just to play it safe I grabbed 3 discs and set them aside so they will be easy to grab when this happens :)
I went with the following Blu-ray discs: The Shawshank Redemption The Dark Knight Immortal Beloved Now before I set these aside I would have made every attempt to grab my HBO Blu-ray sets that are all together: Band of Brothers Rome John Adams |

Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
Withouth thinking about it too long, I think I'd grab:
Grand Illusion Seven Samurai The Lady Vanishes Criterion spine #'s 1-3 Drama, action, and comedy; all three are affirmations of the human spirit, and it's three of my favorite directors. Just what I need aboard the mothership. |

Sounds like that should keep me going for a while.
My three would be: -True Romance -The Truman Show -Twin Peaks: Gold Box Edition |
Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
If I could grab any three regardless of size, it would be:
Six Feet Under: The Complete Series The West Wing: The Complete Series The Wire: The Complete Series If it had to be 3 that fit into one hand, it would be: The Lord of the Rings: The Extended Editions (yes, I checked and they all fit in one hand!:)) From the Blu-ray shelf: 2001, Blade Runner, Band of Brothers. |
Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
I have a few combos that I think that would work, and in all honestly I have no idea what I'd choose under pressure.
Blus: Hot Fuzz Inglorious Basterds Iron Man The Prisoner: The Complete Series Repulsion The Searchers Shaun of the Dead Terminator 2 The Third Man TV Shows: Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series (R2) Spaced Star Trek: TOS (Season One) DVDs: (Note: I am currently living at the dorms in college so, for space issues, I've condensed multiple titles in cases) Annie Hall/ Play It Again, Sam Back to the Future Trilogy Batman/Batman Returns Blade Runner/Sin City Bottle Rocket Brazil Alec Guinness 5-Film Collection A Hard Day's Night/Help! Hellboy: The Director's Cut/ Hellboy II: The Golden Army |
Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
I would have to grab from my TV shows area:
-Band of Brothers -Battlestar Galactica -Blackadder That would keep me occupied for 90 hours. |
Re: Think quick! Grab 3 DVD titles on your way to the final frontier!
Couldn't find many sets of 3 that I would watch in a row.. but the best one was
Shoot em up, Shooter and Showgirls! |
