Display MoreHaven't bought it yet, but I will be hitting the sotre shortly to pick up a copy of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I did see this in theater when it came out late last winter and it was very, very good. One of the better Marvel movies since they've been coming out, though I think they're all quite good.
Also, here's a few new Blu-ray releases that are coming in the next few weeks.
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, with Zero Mostel and Phil Silvers is out this week
The Great Race, with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Natalie Wood, out this week.
The Great Rain Robbery with Sean Connery, out next week.
South Of St. Louis with Joel McRea, out on the 23rd.
Distant Drums with Gary Cooper, out on the 23rd.
Elmer Gantry with Burt Lancaster on the 23rd.
Run Silent, Run Deep with Clark Gable and Glenn Ford on the 23rd.
Taras Bulba with Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis on the 23rd

Thanks for the updates.
A Funny Thing ::::: makes me laugh every time.
One small note Run Silent Run Deep is with Burt Landcaster not Ford.
Very good film.

This week, picked up The Beatles first film, A Hard Days Night on Blu-ray. Part of the Criterion Collection. It's a 3 disc set with one disc the Blu-ray, one the DVD and the third disc is extras. Best Buy also had Red River by Criterion, but it was the DVD only. If they had the Blu-ray, I would've bought that instead of A Hard Days Night.
I've been doing something I swore I would never do. Not only that but my doing so makes no sense.
I've been acquiring blu-ray copies of my favorite movies. Since I'm 76 years old, spending all this money is kinda stupid since my movies (and I have a lot of movies) will either be going to my kids or to the local library. Currently, I have about $2500. worth of Blu-Rays ordered from Amazon. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Don't be so hard on yourself, Stumpy. You love watching movies, so why not watch the best versions available. I'd probably do the same thing if my finances allowed.

Jim, spend your money on what you enjoy what you love most.
After all when you leave it to the kids they will only 'waste' it!!
Keith and Mark,
Thanks for the words of encouragement - I began accumulating movies to watch back in the Nineties (VHS days). After spending several hundred dollars on tapes, I then switched to DVDs and spent thousands on them. And when I did, I made a promise to myself to skip the next technological advance (as we knew, there would invariably be one). Now comes Blu-Ray and here goes old Jim again. Where does it all end?

Stumpy, don't feel bad. I'm guilty of doing the same exact thing myself. I don't have $2500 worth of movies ordered from Amazon, but I've seen quite a few I would like to order. I spend a lot of time at Best Buy, but about the only movies I buy anymore are the latest popular movies like the Marvel ones, or other superhero ones, or maybe a good western if one comes out. Only thing about Best Buy is that with so many of the older movies being released on Blu-ray, Best Buy doesn't stock them. They usually just stock all the latest, good or bad, or the ones they know customers will buy. Though lately, they just got some old ones like Universals Horror movies like Frankenstein and Dracula in Blu-ray, and old musicals like Oklahoma and The King And I on Blu-ray. Oh what a tangled web we weave.
At one time, I think had about 200+ VHS movies. I then started weeding them out and replacing them with the DVD version as they came out. Now, I think have maybe about 20 VHS left, either replaced or donated without replacing them. Some VHS I had I transferred to DVD through my VCR and DVD recorder. Only a few worked, others had a copy guard. Some movies I've recorded on my DVR, then transferred to DVD. That worked out pretty good. Got some great old movies from TCM that way. I've replaced some DVD's with their Blu-ray counterpart, but only if it's a special movie to me. Did that with some of the James Bond movies and all of the Star Trek movies, and of course, Star Wars, Superman, a bunch of westerns and war movies.
Saturday bought Sands Of Iwo Jima and How The West Was Won on Blu-ray at a place called Disc Replay. Last week I bought Expendables 3 on Blu-ray, tomorrow planning on getting Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.
