DVD Haul

Recently bought DVD/BR boxsets for some old cop shows that I enjoyed so much during my youth:-

Hill Street Blues
NYPD Blue
Law & Order
Homicide - Life on the Streets.

I then did what I usually do with my DVD collection, and transfer them onto my local NAS box hooked up to my network and watch them at my leisure via my trusty remote control and Plex.
 
Rocko's Modern Life - The Complete Series (1993 -1996)

A wacky animal-people cartoon about an Australian wallaby named Rocko, who moved overseas to live among the strange inhabitants of America. He and his dog, Spunky, make friends quickly with a dim-witted bull named Heffer (who was raised by a wolf family), and a neurotic turtle named, Filbert.

It's more of an animated show for grown-ups that are big kids at heart, rather than for very young children, because of the numerous adult situations (some scenes had to be censored). Today it has become a cult classic, and all 52 episodes are collected on DVD along with a few nice extras.
 
Gladiator (my favorite film)
Braveheart (my other favorite film)
Kingdom of Heaven
Argo
TLOR trilogy

I used to have a lot more, including all of the Star Wars films, but I have been downsizing and donating to my local library, where I can rent videos easily.

Right now I have The Last Samurai to watch as well.
 
Picked up 3 films today . Journey to the Center of the Earth 1959 . Voyage to the the Bottom of the Sea 1961 and Doom. allll three filsm for 20 dollars.:)
 
Saw a Lucio Fulchi collection at Amazon I'd like to get but it's blu-ray and all I have is a regular dvd player. Will blu-ray play on it? Don't need blu-ray quality, if it played like a traditional dvd that'd be okay with me.

No. Blu ray will play DVD.
DVD player will not play Blu Ray.
 
I was afraid of that. On the other hand it might not be a bad idea to upgrade my system a notch, streamlining it in the process. That way, with one machine instead of two, I'd be able to watch both formats, relieving me of the odious task disposing of a dvd collection I could no longer watch. Haven't priced them yet, but they can't be that expensive, can they?

I picked up a Sony Blu Ray player for around £60 on the internet so they're not too bad.

Thank you. We were shopping at Fred Meyers last night and I wandered over to the electronics section and saw a Magnavox on sale for $58. So they are affordable especially as my plain old dvd player cost $99 on sale when I picked it up seven, eight years ago. The cheapest at that time.
 
Picked up the first three seasons of American Horror Story on DVD. Watched four episodes of season one and really enjoying it so far(y)
 
I Picked up Metal Hurlant Chronicles The Complete series. It's offbeat but entertaining.(y)
 
Bluray Interstellar, sin City 2, Predestination and Spider-Man 2.
 
I got myself all 3 of the original Star Trek series a while back (digitally remastered). I've finally made time to watch some on my new 50 inch TV and have to say the episodes look absolutely stunning.

Kudos to the digital remasterers (is there such a profession?) for doing such a fine job(y)
 
Journey to The Center of the Earth 1959 classic stuff. (y)
