Interesting ideas, keep 'em coming!

This year I'm probably buying fewer B-Ds because there's a lot of stuff out there which I may only want to watch once or twice.

Probable buys:
Chunking Express
Initial D
Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Maybes:
Wanted
Hancock
Wall E
Dr. No
Kill Bill v1 & 2
Cast Away
Iron Man
Austin Powers collection (?)
Dirty Harry
Harry Potter collection

Totally didn't need the B-D treatment:
Zombie Strippers

Never watched before, would want to rent before deciding whether to buy:
Sukiyaki Western Django
You Don't Mess With The Zohan
Welcome to Dongmakgol
Bottle Rocket
Re-Cycle
Afro Samurai
CJ7

Welcome to Dongmakgol- a good antiwar movie. Being a Korean comedy, it tends to be somewhat depressing. I recommend it for fans of Korean Cinema. I have the BD but haven't watched it yet. I was told the PQ is OK but the AQ is lacking. I'm sure the fanboys will whine about that.
Re-Cycle- I have the DVD (came with an eyeball key chain[?]). I really wanted to like this, since I like the Pang Brothers and I adore Angelica Lee. Despite the interesting premise of the movie, I felt that I was being preached at during a good portion of the movie.

  Thanks, seems like I should rent these before commiting my $30.
  
  Speaking of depressing Korean movies, I just got through watching "Secret Sunshine" which I thought closed on an ambiguous note.

    I haven't seen "Secret Sunshine", but I did see "You Are My Sunshine". Being a (very good) Korean love story, I felt like putting my head in the oven when it was over. That was one of my last Korean flicks. I just can't take the emotional wear-and-tear anymore.

      "My Beautiful Girl Mari" is kind of dreamy / spacy and very beautiful. So far as I know, it's only available in std def though.
