I've been double dipping a lot lately, (the Beauty And The Beast blu-ray, Snow White blu-ray, etc.) and got to wondering. What are some films that you guys will buy over and over again, no matter how many times they come out. The Exorcist blu-ray just came out, so that will probably be one for me to get. And The Lion King when it comes out. What about you ?

Repurchasing a movie on a different format really isn't what double dipping means. Double dipping is when a studio re-releases a movie again on the same format, especially within a short period of time just to cash in.

I've owned Braveheart on Laser Disk, DVD and Blu-Ray.

its not double-dipping...its upgrading. theres a difference.

Exactly.

OP...your thread has failed.

No, not really. It's more like his thread got shit on by a bunch of nerds who were more interested in correcting his use of terminology than discussing the subject he raised.

Between me and my parents, we have "2001" on:

VHS (MGM/UA big box)
CED (original mono and remastered stereo issues)
Laserdisc (1983 MGM pan and scan, Criterion box set and 1990s MGM letterboxed)
DVD (Warner)
HD-DVD
Blu-Ray

Just pointing out that the entire premise of his thread is flawed.

.....how? I'm pretty sure the premise of the thread is to discuss movies that you will buy over and over. If the premise of his thread had been "this thread is about the definition of the term double dipping" then you might have a point, but it's not.

He used the wrong phrase. No biggie. Time to move on.

Well...we're right. It's not double dipping.

exactly.

See what xage has? That's double dipping...upgrading to the new format...isn't a double dip.

Is it really that hard to mentally replace the phrase "double dip" with "upgrade" rather than be snooty and annoying about it?

Nice collection, xage. Considering most of those still looked sealed, do you actually watch any of those, or just collect them?

You're flawed.

Confucius said, "Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without."

This thread is insane. As for the OP, I'll probably always purchase the Back to the Future trilogy, Psycho, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Children of Men -- just to name a few.

I've double-dipped-upgraded quit a few times

Only one copy of Saw IV? I guess that was the worst one (I still haven't seen any of them- have the first 2 which I'll watch hopefully by Halloween.)

(Just noticed the 3-pack, so there's 2 Saw IV's).

I own Twister on LaserDisc, VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray.

While I agree with the terminology correction, I will offer an answer to the intent of the OP:

Serenity: DVD, HD DVD, DVD collector's edition, Blu-ray, iTunes
