Whatya Ignored?
« on: January 12, 2009, 10:27:26 AM »
Ok, I was bored last night and stumped what films to watch through January.
I have religiously recorded my dvd viewings on dvdprofiler, and thought I would look at my oldest dvds, by date of purchase, in my collection which I have not watched. In many cases I may have seen the films either in cinema or on TV, but only mark in my collection as viewed when I have watched the DVD.
Below are my 20 oldest unviewed purchased titles which I will endeavour to view over the next couple of months.
What are your oldest ignored purchases?

1   raging bull
2   get shorty
3   right stuff
4   species
5   the doors
6   streetcar named desire
7   bridges of madison county
8   ace ventura-pet detective
9   cyborg
10   green berets
11   outland
12   hang em high
13   true romance
14   high plains drifter
15   firestarter
16   money talks
17   a thousand acres
18   above the law
19   jackal
20   gridlock'd

I do exactly the same.

If I double dip an item and get rid of the older version then I do, however, "forward" the watched event from the older to the newer profile.

So, here is my list of the ten oldest unwatched DVDs, meaning I also never saw those films in the cinema or on TV:

1 A Chinese Ghost Story
2 Once Upon a Time in China
3 City War
4 Happy Together
5 Concerts of Wu Bai & China Blue
6 Organized Crime & Triad Bureau
7 The Postman Fights Back
8 Treasure Hunt
9 Rich and Famous
10 Tragic Hero
11 The General
12 Wu Bai & China Blue - The True World Concert Tour
13 Bio Zombie
14 My American Grandson
15 Prison on Fire
16 Wu Bai & China Blue - Winter Fire
17 Le Dernier Combat
18 The Simsons - Treehouse of Horror
19 Wu Bai's Live
20 Bride With the White Hair

As one might see those are mostly Asian movies (which I obtained cheap at the time and was "into" back then...) and some (Asian) concert DVDs.

I am, however, not promising to watch these anytime or even at all :devil:

Achim, you really should watch these if you haven't seen them before/for a while then it could be really good to revisit them.

Well, since you boiled it down to a manageable quantity, I'll try to squeeze a few of those in rather sooner than later. I remember starting A Chinese Ghost Story once and failing to finnish, knowing it's like a cult hit... (guess I just defined the starting point too :))

Once, I believe. But that's also a movie for which one as to be in the mood for.

You know what's really scary? Find out the total value of all your unwatched DVDs. In other words, the wad of cash you gave away just fill a shelf. I did, and from conversations in the past I think my unwatched pile is significantly smaller than most. But it was still ridiculous! :bag:
