chiliD · #16 08-31-2005, 09:45 AM

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)

Legends of the Fall

Dazed and Confused

Goodfellas

Best of SNL Will Farrall Volume I

Chappelle's Show seasons 1&2

Cyndi Lauper At Last Live

The Dance

That's all I can think of - I don't really buy too many DVDs

dissention · #19 08-31-2005, 11:13 AM

In no particular order:

1. 3 Women (Criterion)
2. Manhattan Murder Mystery (or simply all of Woody's DVDs)
3. Tanner '88 (Criterion)
4. Profit: The Complete Series
5. Moulin Rouge
6. Near Dark
7. Suspiria
8. Malcolm In the Middle: Season One
9. Wendigo
10. Dogville

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.

Ossie Davis is BRILLIANT in that movie. What a great flick.

The US DVD release of Dogville sucks ass, though.

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 · #24 08-31-2005, 11:31 AM

1)Queen-Live at Wembley (Show me a better taped concert and I will show you none!)
2)Dream Theater-Live at Budokan (If FM's LIB would have been shot the same way if could actually be watchable to me.)
3)Clerks X (10th anniversary edition)
4)South Park-The Movie (Widescreen only)
5)Kung Pow-Enter the Fist (Again, Widescreen only)
6)Inu Yasha (Anime-The first season)
7)Van Halen-Live Without a Net (Great concert even though the transfer from analog to digital is porr at best)
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.

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!

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.

I've had this for two years and still haven't watched all of the stuff on them.

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.
