So yesterday I went to blockbuster and sighed up for a thing for one week rent as many movies as you want 2 at a time. So starting tomorrow I am going to basically do a 2 day marathon. I want to get some good movies for anything weather it be for audio or picture or just a good movie. BR movies I have already seen on my system are:

Eragon
Dark Knight
Xmen wolverine
Angels and Demons
Public Enemies
No Reservations
Terminator Salvation
Harry Potter HBP
Sky Caption and The World Of Tomorrow


Looking for recommendations.

    Kill Bill 1 +2 (My favorites on BR), the new Star Trek is worth seeing...go with personal taste from there, but those are must sees as far as I'm concerned. If you are allowed to get mini-series, my one and only BR buy is Band of Brothers, a must see, must own. Have fun!

    Is "Sky Caption and the World of Tomorrow" just a movie with subtitles in multiple hi-res languages?
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    No, it is a pretty good movie I enjoyed it. I thought the same thing but it was much better than what I was thinking it would of been.

    Apparently the humor went amiss there.;)




    I would suggest...

    Not watching anything...and instead listening to music in 2 channel. It's much more enjoyable.;)

    Seriously though...no Blu-ray player here yet...so not much in the way of suggestions.

    Sin City looks good in Blu Ray if you haven't already seen it

    Thats a pretty awesome deal, I did one of those earlier this summer

    Except instead of $9.99 for the 1 at a time plan, you can do $14.99 for a 2 at a time plan. I was renting 2 dvds, ripping them, and returning to Blockbuster within an hour. I cut my hand at work and had a week off for the stitches to heal. After my week was over I had rented over 60 movies and ripped them all to my external harddrive. Almost all new releases.
