What's in your DVD collection? - Page 2

Just started my DVD collection. So far:

U2, Live from Boston. My first DVD ever. Awesome... I've watched this so many times. (I'm a BONOfied, hard, hardcore U2 fan)

Also, Harry Potter, The Sorcerer;s Stone
The Fifth Element (Given to me as gift)
And, *ahem*... Wrestlemania X8 from Toronto. Hey, I got free tickets to the event in Toronto and I wanted it for nostalgia.

Have rented tons of DVD's. Waiting to buy Lord of the Rings closer to Christmas as they are coming out with special edition.

Also really loved the whole God Father series... and have been renting all the episodes of The Sopranoes. Loved Gladiator too.

New U2 DVD coming out in November of all the best of their videos. Can't wait.

Ps. Anyone makes fun of me for having a wrestling video gets banned for life.

Run Lola Run rocks and the 5.1 Dolby Digital of Das Boot is incredible. I'd also recommend Leon. It's the international version of The Professional. The re-release of Mad Max with the Austrialian language track (instead of the US dubbed version) is good too.

Yes, and you can take it, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and shove it staignt up your......well, you get the idea.

I finally picked up Shrek today. The only reason I havent before is that we have had it as our Demo DVD at work since it came out, and I have seen it about 1,000,000,000 times, give or take a few.

The Snatch DVD with the Pikey Subtitles is freaking awesome. The Chasing Diamonds option (I think that is what it is called) is also very cool. Basically when you see the Diamond on the screen you hit the enter button and you get to see a deleted scene or an extended scene that was cut from that part of the movie.

I have the Fifth Element, and it rocks, but I wish that they would come out with a special edition or something with more special features and possibly two discs instead of one 2x sided disc.

I have not seen Leon: The Professional on the shelf in a while, but rest assured as soon as i do I will snatch it up. Probably next time I am in the Virgin Megastore, as they have the best selection in town, bar none.

I only bought a few DVD's before I left the oilpatch and stopped having any free time to watch movies. (oddly enough...I still manage to find the time to attend this forum. Go figure)

The one's I've got are:

-Highlander/Directors cut.(Good movie!)
-Highlander 2/Directors cut(No hope for this turkey...but better than the short version. Plus I got it cheap.)
-The Arrival 1 and 2 (on the same disc...got it cheap in Billings Montana)
-Gladiator/Special edition (excellent!)
-Mission Impossible 2 (sort of worth it...but I feel strangely unclean after watching it)

That's it so far...but I really want to find...

-Leon:the Professional (buy two, PB...I'll pick up the second copy off you)

I also would like to have a directors cut of...
-Final Fanatasy/The Spirits Within
-We Were Soldiers (an anti-war, War Movie if there ever was one)
-Hard Core Logo (is this even on DVD?)
-Braveheart (my mom is a member of the Wallace clan...the other half of my Highland roots and I think this is a terrific flick)

I share our esteemed mayor's love of U2 and have several U2 VHS videos. I want something by them on DVD...these guys are truly one of the greatest bands in Rock history! And they're still puttin out great stuff!!

I do not, however, share ehMax's addiction to the pugilistic "sports". Consequently, I don't have any WW......whoops!

I do NOT want to get banned!!

Forgive me Mayor, for I have sinned!

I MUST do penance!

I will now go away and punish myself by watching Madonna movies nonstop for a week while blasting bug repellant straight up my nose and reciting the communist manifesto....backwards, and in Latin.

If you guys don't hear from me for awhile, you'll understand, eh? It's bound to be a bit traumatic. and possibly physically debilitating....

...especially watching all of those Madonna movies. YEEESH!

1) Done and Done.

2) I think so, I believe I have seen it on the shelf at Virgin. Again, the best selectionin town, if they dont have it and can;t order it, it probably doesn't exist.

3) It is a good movie isn't it? One thing I like about DVDs is that in a lot of cases movies that would be on two VHS tapes (a la Braveheart) are often on one DVD. Nice.

Who else here is going to buy the big expensive Fellowhip of the Rings that comes in the big box with 4 DVDs (two for the movie, two for special features), and the extra Nation Geographic documentary on the making and the stone statues of the Guardians? I know I am. My entire DVD budget at this point is set aside for it (and ST:TNG!)

If you guys are really interested in getting Leon, I can take a look in a couple of video stores for it next time I'm there. I think I saw it about a week ago on the shelf, just can't remember which one.

Heart can you smell what ehMax is cooking?
