Just joined Columbia House, NEED HELP

[amaritto]

I get to pick out 5 movies. Lets hear some good ones.

So far I am debating on these:

Gladiator

Conan the Barbarian

Proof of Life (for the girl)

Scarface

Heat

Shaving Ryans Privates


Any other choices????

 

[the nature boy]

Goodfellas

boogie nights

Total Recall

Braveheart

 

[O'Stanozol]

Be careful with them I got screwed

 

[amaritto]

How did you get screwed??

I am doing this online, so they will not do that sending something to you and charging you if you dont send it back shit. It is all email yes and no.

"Gladiator" has an awsome soundtrack ... I bought it immediately after seeing the movie!

HINT: Try to complete your obligation to Columbia House ASAP. Then close out your account in writing. They will then send you a letter asking you to join again with a much better offer!


Good luck.

Fight Club
and
Gladiator are both awsome

That sounds like what I am going to do. I only need to buy 3 more movies. Do I need to write them to cancel my membership??

Thanx

Amaritto,

You should contact them and ask for specific instructions on how to cancel your account. For me, it was always a hassel. I learned to do it in writing and to send it via certified mail.

Call them (if you can find their 800 number) and ask for the cancellation instructions.

These companies make money off of people who do NOT cancel their accounts properly and on time!

May1010 -

Thanx a ton. My only problem with signing up was not being able to cancel my account when I was done without a hassel or more fees. I will do as you have mentioned above and hopefully everything works out.

Thanx again

Movies

City Of Angels (for the girl)
The Fifth Element
And ANYTHING with Arnold in it....well maybe not the one when he gets pregnant.

Make sure you get both of the Conan movies and maybe Red Sonja

But be carefull when you order from them,the video may be inexpensive,they'll make the move back in shipping.

 

[talonracer]

Did the CD thing with them once and it was actually a great deal, they used to give you all kinds of wild deals and free CD's but they KILL you with shipping. I'd join again but all their music is crap

 

[DeMeysNo1Fan]

Shipping

I'm with BMG now. I'm moderately satisfied with them. They sent me Incubus even though I didn't ask for it,but I kept it anyway and was very impressed by them. It's worth it just for the price of their boxed sets.

 

[nikolai_bolkov]

Yeah like Blockbuster who says I have a "balance on my account" every time I go back to rent another movie. I can't even remember if I returned movies late anymore. I think they're scamming me.

Re: Movies

Ok, the conan movies I agree with. but red sonja? come on.

 

[DeMeysNo1Fan]

If you can get past Sandahl Bergman's overacting and the bratty little kid,it actually has a decent plot.

 

[DeMeysNo1Fan]

Arnold in "End Of Days". That was good.

 

[the nature boy]

the first conan kicks ass. so simple yet so good.

"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women!"

Damn I love that flick.

P.S. Total Recall is his best flick. Never saw end of days, I hope it's not "pussified" like some of his recent films.

 

[DeMeysNo1Fan]

Thulsa Doom

The first one was the best.

James Earl Jones...I Love That Man!

"Do you know the riddle of steel?...Steel is only as strong as the hand that weilds it"

The casting in the second movie was kid of strange...the part of a warrior who is to protect a girl's virginity played by a man who estimates sleeping with 10,000 women while in the NBA.

End Of Days is really good. I think it was his first film after having his heart surgery. There was another he was in where he was cloned but I can't remember the name...I'm having a senior moment.

 

[the nature boy]

the 6th day? or the 7th day. Actually that film was pretty good.

 

[HappyScrappy]

how come these movie disccussions always seem to leave out one of the more important movies of all time.

yes, that's right - Cop and a Half
