Guess I should have put a better title on this discussion thread but oh well.

What movies do you wish were already on dvd this year.

For me it would have to be : Public Enemies, Star Trek, and Ice Age 3 which I'm surprised I enjoyed, and Up

Watchmen. Star Trek.

Yeah. Definitely want to see those both again. (Blu-Ray especially for Watchmen)

Watchmen is out soon though, I think. I'm not sure.

And... Up if only so that I can show it to my dad who will love it.

I wanna see Watchmen again so bad. With, like, the black freighter stuff thrown in there.

Pretty much everything Garbledina said.

Do you know?

Because the twist ending is... I AM YOU
 

Still have yet to see Watchmen. Given that I work at Blockbuster, I'll be able to get it for free. Still not sure if I even want to spend a free rental to watch it.

Up is a sure bet to buy. Ditto for Star Trek. Maybe Drag Me to Hell.

It's not in theatres until September, but I canNOT wait to see Whiteout.

You forgot your favorite, so I put it back on for you. Probably a cut-n-paste error, happens all the time.

Those cannot possibly be in the right order. Monsters vs. Aliens was pretty standard fare while The Hangover (raunchy as it was) could offer a little of something new, at least.

Watchmen comes out on the 21st here. It will probably be the only one I end up buying as well. Maybe Up and Star Trek too. I have a hard time justifying purchasing dvds or bluerays so I've never really been too big on buying them.

I honestly do not purchase a movie, unless I can see myself watching it at least once every 3-6 months.

So great movies that are "one time only" kinda things, even though they are amazing, I don't own. It's gotta have replay value.

For this year:

Underworld 3 (to complete my Trilogy set for sit down sessions)
The Spirit (Fuck you guys, it was funny)
Sherlock Holmes (If Downey is as good in the roll as I think he will be)
Inglourious Basterds (To add to my Tarantino collection)
Star Trek (Would have to turn in my Sci-Fi geek card if I didn't)

So far at least.

I enjoyed it. I can't always watch regular horror, because my imagination runs away with me. But this was just plain funny most of the time. I don't know how you feel about silly horror.

Wow, was "Drag Me to Hell" really that good? I avoided it cause I hate PG-13 horror movies.

In Sam Raimi's hands, the limits of the PG-13 rating are like Zatoichi's blindness.

It's silly and predictable at times, but it's silly on purpose. Preditability-wise, the last 30+ minutes are ridiculously telegraphed a mile away. But it's still incredibly entertaining, with some very legitimate scares.

I like my horror: Bloody, frightening, terror-inducing, nightmarish and with enough nudity to satiate.
Ex: REC, Silent Hill, Hellraiser, 28 days/weeks.

Though one series I've enjoyed that was "silly" was the FEAST series.
