Movies that people would be surprised you own
 

What are movies you own on dvd or blu-ray that people would be surprised that you own them? You might be surprised that I own:

the Twilight movies
the Fifty Shades of Grey movies
The Smurfs
the Fast and the Furious box set

Good thread idea! I wish I could list something but all the dvds/blurays I own (and I don't have many) are just what people would expect I'd own. So none of this for me:eek:

i have alot

Do these have to be movies that I've seen, or can they be movies that I bought, but I haven't watched yet, or in some cases, movies that I've seen, but I don't like?

For example, I own most of the Fast and the Furious and the Mission Impossible movies on DVD, but I haven't watched any of them yet.

I also own a Quentin Tarantino box set, but I only bought it because it was cheap, and I watched a few of the movies for either HoFs or MoFo countdowns, but I'm not a Quentin Tarantino fan.

I have some, but I always watch movies online or go to the cinema.

I have a few dvd I bought to share with a gf, she passed and I'll never watch them but can't just toss them out

I'm trying to think of some movies that I have that people would be surprised by...but I can't think of any. I tend to collect movie genres that I like. Let's see if anybody is surprised that I have these little known gems?

The Man with Bogart's Face (1980)
Drag Racer (1971)
A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (1979)

Off hand, have to say my Jackass collection...

When I feel like shit, pop one in and the relief always delivers. Guess I'm wired that way.

Out 1 (1971)

The Devil Wears Prada. Ex left it behind after we split. Now it just sits there.
She actually left quite a bit of her DVD collection.

My DVD collection is 99.9% unsurprising and on-brand.

However, I am frequently surprised to remember that I own a copy of the Lifetime movie Taken in Broad Daylight. I watched half of it while babysitting in grad school and had to stop watching it because the parents arrived home. I always wanted to know how it ended and it was never streaming anywhere. Found it on DVD for like $5 and bought it. Now I'm weirdly nostalgic about it, even though I never watch it.

The Pianist (2002)

Re: Movies that people would be surprised you own
 

A box set of WW II "classics". It includes movies like Anzio, Fury and The Guns of Navarone. Generally nobody expects ME to be watching old war movies, but now and again, I do.

You're right, I wouldn't expect you to own those:p Those are three medicore movies and I know from your posting on the board that you have some really good taste in movies. Do you like those movies or just own them?

Re: Movies that people would be surprised you own
 

I think my husband would be very surprised that I own movies like A Serbian Film, Sàlo, The Devils, Nymphomaniacs I & II, etc.

He was horrified by Reservoir Dogs & only watched a bit of it though it’s one of my favorite movies. :)

I have some VHS that might surprise people, but you're too "new" for that, so you'll never know :)
Good thread idea!

At the risk of making Minio's normie sense tingle: Big Trouble in Little China, Flight of the Navigator and The Goonies. '80s cheese is my bread and butter.

'2012'

They were a cheap box set in Big Lots, about 10 movies for $8. It seemed hard to lose for that price. I did like Fury and it seemed like my DVD shelf was slim on war movies. That same shelf has a bunch of box sets with like 50 "classic" horror movies for $15, or 50 noir films, sci-fi, etc. War seemed to be coming up short.

Totally cool. Those 50 "classic" DVD sets of sci fi, etc are hard to beat...not usually Cannes award winners, but loads of fun and for a cheap price too.
