Zoolander was funny just for the part where his friends get burnt to a crisp to George Michael's

Clerks was funny.

Matrix, I agree, I'm waiting until the other two come out and I'll grab the triology pack...

Ladies Man was worth a one night rental...

Spinal Tap
Silence of the Lambs
Road Warrior

AgPete · 01-28-2003, 07:29 PM

A surprise DVD for me was From Dusk til Dawn. The movie is corny and it's really only for people that like old school make-up fest slasher flicks but it's a great DVD set. It's almost like a bunch of movie fans designed the DVD set. One CD is a documentary on the making of the movie and it's one of the best docs I've ever seen on filmmaking. Director Robert Rodriguez even has a few clips on one of the CDs he specifically targets to show people common filmmaking practices. The directors commentary by Rodriguez and Tarantino is hilarious. I want to to check out Tarantino's new directors cut DVDs for Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs because of this one but haven't had a chance.

For a DVD that takes advantage of your new home theater sound system, you HAVE to buy The Matrix. You'll never experience your home theater system until you watch that movie.

Shawshank Redemption and Office Space

Craptacular · 01-28-2003, 08:22 PM

From the Earth to the Moon -- I'm just waiting for it to go on sale ... please! I suppose $100 for 12 hours of a great miniseries isn't TOO bad.

edit: Hmm, now why didn't I ever look at dvdpricesearch.com ?? $60 is much better.

AZSpeechCoach · 01-28-2003, 09:15 PM

My wife has been buying the Robotech Macross box sets. She remembers them from her childhood. I never saw them. Now, she's scouring the internet for the original Japanese Macross series movies, the Macross Plus, and the Macross 7. Help!!!

Of course, my guilty pleasures are the Director's editions of the Star Trek movies. Does that make me a geek?

Raiders Army · 01-28-2003, 10:40 PM

I'll narrow it down to my top 10:

10. Any porn DVD--don't have to rewind or fast forward
9. Return of the Living Dead--glad this finally came out on DVD
8. Shrek--great extras
7. Office Space--did you get the new coversheets for the TPS reports (what the hell are TPS reports????)
6. Super Troopers--best comedy I've seen in a while
5. Terminator 2--great sound, special effects
4. Aliens (Special Ed)--game over man!
3. Glory--better war movie than Saving Private Ryan
2. Star Wars II: AotC--great extras
1. Fellowship of the Ring (extended)--c'mon you knew it was #1!

Easy Mac · 01-28-2003, 10:48 PM

If anyone wants shrek for lik $10 bucks lemme know, I've been lookng to get rid of it for a while.

SackAttack · 01-28-2003, 10:51 PM

RA - definitely agree about Glory. Dunno if you're familiar with Jeff and Michael Shaara, but they're a father-son duo (the father is deceased) who've written an excellent Civil War trilogy.

"Gettysburg" is based on "The Killer Angels," which was written by, I believe, Jeff, and his son Michael wrote "Gods and Generals" and "The Last Full Measure" sandwiched around TKA. The film version of "Gods and Generals" should be released sometime in mid-spring this year, and I really see no reason why "The Last Full Measure" won't follow suit.

Definitely a few to watch if you haven't already.

Bad-example · 01-29-2003, 12:58 AM

Just a few favorites not already mentioned.

Starship Troopers
Army of Darkness
Bedazzled
Boogie Nights
Goldeneye

Army of Darkness

They're coming out with yet another edition of this classic (I don't own it, but I might finally buy it). This will be a 2-disc set called the "Boomstick Edition". I saw a promotion on dvdpricesearch for Best Buy that if you preorder it online (it costs $20) by March 1, you'll get a $10 digital coupon to use in the two weeks after the DVD is released.

Qwikshot · 01-29-2003, 02:07 PM

I love Army of Darkness...

I want to get the Stanley Kubrick collection.

Jaws is another...

Akira...
