The 'No More Buying DVDs Until I Have Watched the Ones I Already Own' Thread

VALM

I haven't posted on here for ages because we've been watching so much on TV that we hadn't been watching any DVDs. But now with the demise of Lost, 24, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries we have found ourselves at a loose end and as a family have been sitting down on a Saturday night (now there's no Dr Who either) to watch together. So far we have watched Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and Polar Express (still in its cellophane from Christmas Past) as a family - Will confess though that we bought The Day After Tomorrow recently (not badly priced though £5.00 for that an Independence Day (although we did have a copy of this one already our existing copy was a Special Edition with lots of Editor's bits that I think are totally irrelevent and spoil the film so am happy that we now have the cinema version)) :money:. Me and MrM have also watched the Kingdom Hospital box set.

Have loads to watch still but now that there's nothing on TV should get thorugh some.

There are some good ones on that list SMF2. I particularly want to watch The Wrestler. Is it as good as they say it is?

Confession time. I have bought three DVDs this week from Sainsbury's but they were bargains and ones that I and my daughter have wanted for a while:-

The Damned United £4., Marley and Me £5. and Sherlock Holmes (the new Robert Downey Jnr one) £5. Planning to watch Marley and Me tomorrow night.

It's very good and definitely worth a watch if you can get it cheaply:money:

Twilight Zone The movie

The Lord of War Excellent movie :T:T:T:T


I've ordered "24 Redemption" (2nd hand from amazon but still expensive), Luther and Stike Back for mr smf2s birtday. His sisters are also getting him Shutter Island, Wonders of the Solar System, Edge of Darkness and the Green Zone. He may get Avartar from his Mum.

Happy Viewing

Great idea for a thread! Think I should join really as I have 5-10 films outstanding along with Season 4 of Peep Show and Season 2 of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

SMF - you've done well to watch all of the Lost seasons in such a short space of time, your head must be numb! :think: I hope season 6 lives up to your expectations!

Oh yeah and can anyone tell me why is it that whenever I buy a DVD, it's on TV the following week? Because of this I don't watch it on the TV as it would feel like a complete waste of money. Then, the DVD just accumulates dust on the side for months on end unwatched?

I have watched season 1 to 5 twice each since last Christmas. I love it and will be watching again and again in all its entirety. Less than a week to go until Season 6 lands on my door step. Soooooooooooooooooo excited!:j

Me, Mr smf2 and our eldest ds finished watching season 4 of 24. :T:T:T:T

Happy viewing
