What Blu-rays did you receive for the Holidays? (1 Viewer)

Ronald Epstein · Dec 26, 2013

Now that the gift giving holidays are over, we would like to hear from our members and find out what shiny new Blu-rays they received for Christmas.

If you are like me, who has every title they want and actually gave Blu-rays as gifts, you may certainly list those as well.

I didn't receive any Blu-rays. I have most everything at this point.

However, I gave several friends copies of one of my favorite Christmas films, Love Actually.

Matt Hough · Dec 26, 2013

I got some discs of films I love but hadn't yet bought for myself: Terms of Endearment, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Bells of St. Mary's, Greystoke.

I gave myself The Croods in 3D since I was only sent the 2D version to review. (I gave that review copy to a friend's daughter.) DreamWorks always has the best 3D animation of the major American studios, so I didn't want to miss this one.

Polar Express 3D, The Bells Of St Mary's, The Walking Dead Season 2.

Was bummed I didn't get any Blus as gifts, but my boys got some that we'll all watch together: Despicable Me 1&2, How to Train your Dragon, and The Wizard of Oz, and I got my wife Life of Pi.

We all got many other kinds of presents for Christmas, but as always, there was an assortment of Blu-rays under the tree. Let's see...I got Betty Boop volumes 1 & 2 from my kids.I gave out several Blu-rays. I gave my wife Justified Season 4. Santa gave us both seasons 1-3 of Boardwalk Empire. (Hope we enjoy this) We gave our son an assortment of anime TV (Shiki parts 1 & 2) and some old favorites of his: Ninga Turtles Trilogy, the Matrix Trilogy as well as Django Unchained and Avatar. My daughter and son both got the triple feature set of The Goonies, Gremlins & Gremlins 2.My brother and sister both got the Benhur and Ten Commandments two pack.

I always have a wish list of BD's yet to purchase, so I put a few on my Christmas list. I ended up getting The Odd Couple and Weird Science. Also received The Beatles music CD On Air -- Live at the BBC Volume 2.

lukejosephchung · Dec 26, 2013

Didn't receive any BD's for Christmas, as my library is so extensive that my family and friends know better than to try to buy for me...however, I gave away as holiday gifts copies of the 50th Anniversary Edition of "Mary Poppins" blu-ray/DVD combination package over the past 2 weeks...the smiles on the recipients' faces were more than enough holiday satisfaction for me!!!

No one gets me Blu-ray's or any electronics for that matter. They know that I am on top of it. Safer presents are clothes, books, and incidentals.

I bought about 50 Blu-ray's (or sets) for presents. Biggest item was 5 copies of Mary Poppins.

Most interesting gift was Tokyo Story for my older son. He has an MFA in film and I thought he should see it. Probably the best film I saw (for the first time) in 2013. He retaliated with a book about queer culture in the media, claiming that I liked edgy things and this would fit.

t1g3r5fan · Dec 27, 2013

While I didn't get any on Christmas Day, I did get some extra money and a gift card from B&N in addition to three Universal Vault Series titles - Tillie and Gus, China, & Little Man, What Now?

So, for me, Christmas hasn't really ended yet.
