Best dvds...
 
What are your top 10 dvd items in your collection?
Just go with 5, or as many as you can, if you haven'tgot 10 that really stand out....Not in terms of value, just in terms of how highly valued they
are by you personally...even if they cost you $2, you can include box sets too.

Ok, so I'll start.

Firefly complete series box set.
Logans run
Spider-man (2004) animated series
Theres something "more" about Mary
Sin City Recut & Extended
Shaun of the Dead (UK edition)
Kung Fu Hustle

...well, I made 7.
Of course, I like ALL my dvds...but those are the ones that come in on top for me. You guys?

I don't get into buying dvds much, but the texas chainsaw massacre one is fucking ace! I'm talking about the anniversary edition.

The ones I love the most:

Heavy Metal
Ninja Scroll Anniversary Edition
Dead Alive
Army of Darkness
Blade Runner
Alien special edition
The Monster Club
Time Bandits
Young Frankenstein
Re-Animator special edition

I love most of my movies, but those get watched more than the other ones...

The Re-Animator Millenium Edition (I'm assuming that's the one you're talking about) would probably be my #11. That sucker's fucking loaded with special features.

Miss Olivia 11-12-2006 05:01 PM

Yep, that would be the one....I was a happy girl the day I found that. :cool:

Ooooo, I forgot about that one! Great DVD.

Phalanx 11-12-2006 05:13 PM

I'd like to add "cube", to make my like my list 8. Anyone who liked saw ought to see one of the films that (I think) largely inspired it. Great movie. Forget the sequels, this one's it.

...And scrubs series 1, 2, 3, 4 will sufficiently make up the rest. Quality comedy there.

Marroe 11-12-2006 05:19 PM

wow,very though but good question. I'll have to go do some research and get back to this :)

My Stanley Kubrick box set is probably the crowning glory of my collection. I bought this several years ago, when DVDs were first becoming popular, and I still haven't found anything that tops it. Aside from that, I'm particularly proud of my 2 disc collector's version of Legend.

Very cool. I envy you for that. It's a shame that the DVDs on their own aren't very special features loaded. Damn Warner Bros. for that.
