I finally own all the 60's Bond films on DVD!

LegoBatman008

I went on Amazon and I bought Dr No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

And I'm thinking about getting Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Moonraker as well. Because they're the Bond films of the 70's.

That's a good first step. Any self-respecting Bond fan should own all 20 Bond films on VHS, DVD, and Blu Ray.


You know deep down in your heart that you will eventually get them all, so you might as well buy a complete box set. Getting them individually seems too expensive.

There's also some good mini-box sets out there: Sean Connery Vol. 1 & Vol. 2, Roger Moore Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 and Pierce Brosnan Vol. 1 if you just want the DVDs and no special features.

It's just so hard to find a high quality VCR these days that isn't already attached to a DVD player...But I will get a Blu-Ray player eventually.

20...?

Higgins

Have you finally received the first Blu-Ray Players in Scotland yet, Barbel?

Barbel

Not yet... Alex Salmond says we have to wait for independence before he allows them here! )

Higgins

Bad idea. Nobody - not even the chinese - will agree to sell them to you against scottich lira

Barbel

Lira? You mean actual real money? (Not that the lira was ever particularly real anyway)

We were planning on some sort of barter system, like three haggises making one sporran, and two sporrans equal to a pound. At least, that's one possibility under discusssion.

Ahem, but this is slightly off-topic.

Higgins

the only thing of real value from your country would be whiskey

So how would be a whiskey in your currency system?

Barbel

Whiskey? That's from Ireland, stranger! )
Here we drink whisky, which is COMPLETELY different as anyone could tell you... once Mr Salmond allows us to have telephones.

Right, we can and should continue this deep and meaningful discussion elsewhere. I hope the OP gets his next batch of Bond films soon and enjoys them. Welcome to our forum,.and we hope you enjoy youself here!

Care should be taken though, you can end up with the Bonds on ........
VHS, vhs wide screen, dvd, ultimate dvd, bluray. ) and so on.

Very true Thunderpussy. I only started my Bond collection relatively recently so I don't have all those different variations of VHS etc. But, for example, Casino Royale I have ended up buying a number of different versions since it first came out: 2-disc DVD, 3-disc DVD, 2-disc Blu-Ray and then also the Blu-ray from the Bond 50 set!

Yep - include me in that bunch! I have every Bond films in so many versions that my wife questions my sanity! Of course she questions my sanity regularly anyway, so there's that! )

That's right. I wonder how long it will be until new films stop being released on DVD? Maybe Bond 24 will be the first to ditch DVD.

If Bond 24 is the first to ditch the DVD format then I'll have to upgrade myself to the blu-ray format.
