What I will purchase is an entirely different story because I will hold out until some of these become cheap. I will purchase Beauty and the Beast and Sex and the City 2 on street date for the GF alongside Grindhouse and Rocky Horror as they're two of my favorite movies, but I have patience for everything else.

To those on here who are making comments about some of us spending to much money on movies or being impatient.
All i have to say is this, There are far worse things one could be spending money on than movies.

Better spending Our money on lots of movies than on alcohol or drugs.

I've been mentioning how "rough" October was going to be for a good while now. I've worked things up to use credit, reward zone coupons I've saved, a giftcard, the Disney coupon (and hoping for another), my credit card and good old cash.

Never had to be as creative and spread things around like that.

Still, it was a decent break that BB got Hard Candy, High Tension, and Secretary before October and all for under $10. That's about $45 less out of what I planned to spend in October.

Oh, and being disappointed with "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" was another break because I could cross off the sequel too.

Still, it's either my most expensive or 2nd most expensive month since I went blu.

Everything Bolded will be a day one purchase, the other stuff can wait for a deal. Not the worst month I've ever seen IMO - sure there are a few really high profile releases, but nothing so crazy that it probably demanded its own thread

Ladies and Gentlemen... The Rolling Stones
Three Kings
How to Train Your Dragon

10/19
Apocalypse Now: Full Disclosure Edition
Psycho: 50th Anniversary Edition

10/26
Alien Anthology
Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy
Hausu
Paths of Glory
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Complete Season Two

A fairly packed month, but nothing near how releases were 7 or 8 years ago.

I'm never critical of how others are spending their hard earned dollars. In fact the reverse has been true. people have complained to me about being cheap and why worry about a few dollars one way or the other?

I just have been far more critical and selective in my purchases than i ever was with DVD. There are very few titles i need to have on release day since so many times they will be on sale a few weeks later. For some it's about the collecting and the thrill of the hunt. Now I just rent so it's strictly about watching and only buying those I know are worthy of repeated viewings.

Matthew Chmiel

To use an example...

Minority Report hit Blu-ray on April 15th. SRP is $29.99 and most places were selling it for $18.99 - $20.99 on release date (give or take). Less than three months later on July 1st, I was able to pick it up at Best Buy for $10 new.

House of the Devil hit Blu-ray on February 2nd. SRP is $34.99 and most places were selling it for $22.99 - $24.99 on release date (again give or take). Less than four months later on May 30th, I was able to pick it up at FYE for $10 new.

Don't get me wrong, I purchase a lot of Blu-rays per month. However, I also want the best deal to go along with it. There's some titles that I need right on release date, but I'm cool with waiting on other titles (specifically upgrades from DVD) if I'm going to be saving more than 50%.

Mr. Cinema

The discs will be the same as in the BD box set, but each one comes with the DVD version.

PixyJunket

I'm just getting Beauty and the Beat and Grindhouse.. maybe Apocalypse Now and/or Back to the Future at some later point.

Toddarino

Slumber Party Massacre Collection
The Evil/Twice Dead double feature
Beauty and the Beast
The Exorcist
Grindhouse
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Troll 2
The Darjeeling Limited
Apocalypse Now: Full Disclosure Edition
Predators
Alien Anthology
Back to the Future: Trilogy
Maniac

On top of all that, my wedding is Oct. 16th followed by a honeymoon. I hope I get a lot of overtime this month at work.

• Peanuts Holiday Collection
• Treasure of the Sierra Madre
• The Exorcist

• Psycho
• Moulin Rouge!
• The Rocky Horror Picture Show
• Alien Anthology
• Back to The Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy

macnorton

I only have one for the month of October, Grindhouse.

It makes sense to hold off for me on these releases, since Black Friday will be not to far off. Additionally, if I hold my cash for the Criterion sale....

In any event, there is some great stuff coming out.

PopcornBandit

October won't really be all that expensive for me as the only titles I plan on picking up on release are Grindhouse (pre-ordered for $13.99!) and The Slumber Party Massacre Collection.

The Monkees

What? Is is an American release of it? I knew there was a Canadian BD that was 1080i but had no clue there was an American release coming up.

October will be HUGE for me.

A list of the things I will buy no matter what:

October 5th:

Beauty & the Beast
The Exorcist
Slumber Party Massacre Collection

October 19th

Psycho: 50th Anniversary
The Psycho Legacy <------ Super Psyched for This!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: 35th Anniversary

October 26th

Back to the Future Trilogy <--------- Also very excited for
Alien Anthology <------- Very excited

Other titles coming out which I want but can wait on:

October 5th

The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)
Peanuts Holiday Collection
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

October 12th

Dexter's Laboratory: Season 1
Christmas Classics Gift Set
Red Dragon

October 26th

Maniac: Special Edition

dolphinboy

I could care less about what people buy or spend their money on, but I do wonder how they find the time to watch it all. Or how often it gets watched after the first time. That's certainly my biggest concern about my own purchasing habits with movies and music.

For me, October looks like 9 purchases (Splice, BATB, Moulin Rouge, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, My Dog Skip, Psycho, BTTF, Alien Quad, and Winter's Bone) which actually adds 14 new films to the already over-stuffed library.

2 CDs in October would ordinarily seen like no big deal, but they just add to the damage.

GR13

Not as bad as I thought.

Grindhouse
Predators
Alien Anthology

Though I may just wait for Alien and Aliens to get seperate releases or when the set drops in price.

Giles

already bought 'High Tension'

Alien Anthology [have several Best Buy GC's I'm using for that]
Moulin Rouge!
The Last of the Mohicans
How To Train Your Dragon (Barnes and Noblie preorder)
The Exorcist
Grindhouse (got the wrong preorder price from Amazon $13.99 - )

holding off on the Criterions til the supposed November Barnes and Noble sale.

Oceans - hold off and wait to see if I can I find a Region A import that has the longer cut of the film

Beauty and the Beast [w/ Best Buy steelbook]

waiting for Maniac to drop down in price - not an immediate purchase

I think all my import orders for the Argento blurays are coming out in October in the UK.

I haven't seen what the supplement features of the bluray is, but I might buy 'The Secret of Kells'
