8) Office Space
9) A Mighty Wind

Great choices!

[LongBlackScarf]

I have to fantasize here. I'd like ALL my Fleetwood Mac and Stevie VCR Tapes (everything from Red Rocks to Mick's Wedding!...the only Holy Grail for me is that infamous "pie fight"!!) on DVD so I can watch them on my little TV in my bedroom. That's where my DVD player lives. :p

[GypsySorcerer]

As of today, in no particular order:

Moulin Rouge
Love Actually
Chicago
Sideways
All About Eve
Some Like it Hot
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Swingers
Ghost
Rebel Without a Cause

[Miss Vicky]

1. Blackadder- The Complete Collector's Set (If you don't want to buy the big expensive set, then just get the second disc by itself, you can't go wrong!)

2. Gladiator (I actually bought this movie three times. First on vhs 'cause I didn't have a dvd player, then I bought the dvd when I got a player, and now they've released an extended version which I had to have as well.)

3. Quills (Even full frontal Geoffrey Rush can't overshadow the gorgeousness of Joaquin Phoenix and Kate Winslet. The acting is really good all around and is a very entertaining movie with lots of dark humor. Don't expect a history lesson though, it's a movie with the Marquis de Sade as a main character, but is not a bio-pic and shouldn't be taken as fact.)

4. The Big Lebowski (OMFG this movie is hilarious!!!!)

5. Clay Pigeons (Did I mention I'm totally in love with Joaquin Phoenix? Oh and Vince Vaughn is great too.)

6. Fight Club (Great movie. Lots of dark humor. And omg is Brad Pitt ripped in this one!)

7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (I hate Jim Carrey but this one is a must see. Oh yeah... and Kate Winslet's in it too.)

8. Brotherhood of the Wolf (This one is actually a French horror/martial arts film. Normally I hate foreign films, I hate horror films, and I hate martial arts films but this one was spectacular. Just be sure to go to the languages menu and adjust it to French with English subtitles, otherwise the horrible English language dubbing will drive you crazy.)

9. Catch Me If You Can (Just a very fun movie.)

10. Bubba Ho-Tep (This one is bizarre but hilarious. It's set in a retirement home and is about an aging Elvis impersonator who believes he really is Elvis. His best friend is a wheelchair-bound black man who believes that he is JFK. When the other occupants of the retirement home begin to fall prey to a soul-sucking Egyptian mummy in cowboy duds, they team up to take Bubba Ho-Tep down! :lol: )

[GateandGarden]

SidewaysI totally have to get that DVD. I've seen that movie only once but I loved it. Truly interesting characters. :nod:

[GypsySorcerer]

I totally have to get that DVD. I've seen that movie only once but I loved it. Truly interesting characters. :nod:

Love it. Great characters, great script. The "wallet scene" is one of the funniest I've seen in awhile. :D

[WildInTheWind]

I only have 3 DVDS that aren't concerts. :o Dazed and Confused, Almost Famous, and Harold and Maude.

[DownOnRodeo]

I only have one movie on DVD - Contact.

The other DVDs? You guessed it - The Dance and Live in Boston. Too bad I imported as LIB Region 1 and I can't play it. :rolleyes: (Why did I do that?!)

I'm worried that once I start buying lots of DVDs, they'll change players and disc formats. Plus, if they do start releasing stuff on these bigger formats, maybe you could have an entire TV show (ie, every season, every episode) on one disc.. :)

I also thought Sideways was great! I think it's laidback jazzy soundtrack helped a lot. Funny movie ;)

[GODDESS6]

the sound of music
silkwood
almost famous
all the halloween's
home for the holidays ( i LUV this movie)
american beauty...
just to name a few & oh yeah the "friday" movies, friday after next & such~ i know i am not a comedic black man in america, but these movies are great for a laughfest~

[chiliD]

Since I got burned by the industry-wide changeover from LaserDisc to DVD (I have a ton of LDs), I haven't really collected many DVDs yet. But, here's how I'd rank what I own:

1) Ken Burns' BASEBALL (10 disc box)

2) Christopher Guest trilogy box (Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show, Mighty Wind )

3) Zelig

4) The Last Supper

5) Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind

6) Rick Vito In Concert

7) Greatest American Hero (complete season two)

8) One Step Beyond (the creepy old late 50's/early 60's TV show)

[strandinthewind]

. . .
3) Zelig . . . .

OMG - I LOVE this movie and Woody Allen in general!!!!!!!

[skcin]

Legends of the Fall

Dazed and Confused

Goodfellas

4. Profit: The Complete Series

7. Suspiria

Brazil is also one of my favorites; the Criterion release has three different cuts of the movie. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an awesome DVD set, too.

[dissention]

10. Bubba Ho-Tep (This one is bizarre but hilarious. It's set in a retirement home and is about an aging Elvis impersonator who believes he really is Elvis.

Moulin Rouge and Dogville ROCK!

[dissention]

Moulin Rouge and Dogville ROCK!

The US DVD release of Dogville sucks ass, though. :o I have the Korean DVD and it's got a second disc of great extras, including all the press appearances (Cannes, etc.) and the "Dogville Confessions" documentary.

[estranged4life]

1)Queen-Live at Wembley (Show me a better taped concert and I will show you none!)

4)South Park-The Movie (Widescreen only)
5)Kung Pow-Enter the Fist (Again, Widescreen only)
6)Inu Yasha (Anime-The first season)

8)Full Metal Alchemist (Anime-Volume 1-4)
9)Hellboy (3 disc Limited edition w/sculptured busty of Hellboy...A great buy for only $24.99)
10)Witch Hunter Robin (Anime-Complete series)

I have so many I didnt think of a few to I saw 'em mentioned by others on here...The Led Zep DVD set is great, How I forgot that one isnt surprising.

[trackaghost]

Ugh, I can't do a top 10. I've seen way too many DVDs over the years but the following I think every movie buff should have in their collection. They are not necessarilymy favourite movies, but they are just great DVDs.

Led Zeppelin DVD - simply one of the best music DVDs ever, featuring several concerts, rare performances, interviews everything!

Star Wars - all the Star Wars DVDs are lovingly put together, the original trilogy is the best to own, but Episodes I and II are bursting with cool extras.

Almost Famous Bootleg Edition - An extended cut of an already fantastic film and great extras.

Lord Of The Rings Extended Editions - if you want a class in how to make a big budget blockbuster then everything, and I mean everything is included here! Probably the most comprehensive DVDs ever.

This Is Spinal Tap - lots of deleted scenes AND music videos too.

Fight Club - there's a top-notch commentary with Fincher and the cast, multiple angle stuff, deleted scenes, featurettes. Just a really well put-together DVD.

Alien Quadrilogy - nine discs and more than 40 hours of bonus material.

Rushmore/Royal Tenenbaums Criterion Editions - you need to see the DVDs to see just how much detail goes into Anderson's films. The art galleries alone are wonderful.

Citizen Kane/Gone With The Wind - these are two of the best classics on DVD, not just because of the quality of the films, but because of the extras on the DVDs.

Jaws 30th Anniversary Edition - the two-hour documentary on the making of the film is superb.

The Godfather box set - you need to buy the box set to get the excellent bonus disc of extras.

Any Pixar film - Finding Nemo/Toy Story/Monsters Inc etc...

Oh and tonnes more, I could go on but I'm starting to bore myself!

[dissention]

Almost Famous Bootleg Edition - An extended cut of an already fantastic film and great extras.

Great one. And it has Cameron Crowe's original Fleetwood Mac article from Rolling Stone and a CD of Nancy Wilson's songs for the movie. :laugh:

Alien Quadrilogy - nine discs and more than 40 hours of bonus material.

I've had this for two years and still haven't watched all of the stuff on them. :eek: I think I only watched all of the extras for Alien 3; it's fascinating to watch the making of a mess. And as a boxed set it rocks because it has two versions of each movie.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

The US DVD release of Dogville sucks ass, though. :o I have the Korean DVD and it's got a second disc of great extras, including all the press appearances (Cannes, etc.) and the "Dogville Confessions" documentary.

oh hmm...I just have the US DVD release. I read Nick isn't going to be in the next 2 movies of the series. Oh well.

[chiliD]

Two concert DVD's that are just EXCELLENT are:

The Concert For George (the tribute to George Harrison)

Eric Clapton: One More Car, One More Rider (from his "Reptile" tour)

[chiliD]

If it is the recent one, it's called How The West Was Won...or it came out simultaneously with their live album of that name.

Here's the CDUniverse listing:

Lucky you. Yeah, I noticed it was a pre-release, but it's cool. Glad to finally be able to watch it again. How are the Special Features?

[CreepingDeath]

Alrighty--

[dissention]

Nip/Tuck seasons 1 & 2

Just got season two yesterday and can't wait to start watching the episodes all over again before the new season. :D

But can I just say how I loathe the packaging? Ugggggggggh.

[CreepingDeath]

Just got season two yesterday and can't wait to start watching the episodes all over again before the new season. :D

But can I just say how I loathe the packaging? Ugggggggggh.

Yep, the packaging is horrid. The deleted scenes make up for it though. :nod:

That show is so trashy, yet brilliant. I can't wait for the new season. Gotta get me my Christian fix.

[seeker007nmss]

I just picked up:

Adam 12 - Part One
Emergency - Part One

So many TV shows out there..... :p

[dissention]

Yep, the packaging is horrid. The deleted scenes make up for it though. :nod:

That show is so trashy, yet brilliant.

Ooh, I can't wait. The deleted scenes for season one were fab, too, especially the one where Sean went to the sperm bank. :laugh:

I can't wait for the new season.

Have you seen the preview for the new season? Hoo boy, it looks good. I'm so happy Ava's coming back.

Gotta get me my Christian fix.

Julian McMahon, Joely Richardson, and Dylan Walsh are ALL gorgeous. It's truly absurd. Too bad Michael Jackson f*cks it all up. :laugh:

[CreepingDeath]

Have you seen the preview for the new season? Hoo boy, it looks good. I'm so happy Ava's coming back.

I saw the preview a few days ago and it has just made waiting much more painful. :laugh:

Oh, and I love Ava too! I was floored by season two's finale. :shocked:

[dissention]

Oh, and I love Ava too! I was floored by season two's finale. :shocked:

That scene where Christian, um, penetrated her was priceless. Possibly the best moment ever on that show, though Sean having sex with the Kimber doll is right up there, too. :laugh:

[johndoe]

Lucky you. Yeah, I noticed it was a pre-release, but it's cool. Glad to finally be able to watch it again. How are the Special Features?

They may have changed, but theres a few interviews, an "inside look" thing, an article from Rolling Stone, and then her original screen test.

Better than the usual special features on these things.
