Great choices!

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.

GypsySorcerer · #9 08-30-2005, 09:50 PM

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

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!

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

I only have 3 DVDS that aren't concerts.

Dazed and Confused, Almost Famous, and Harold and Maude.

DownOnRodeo · #14 08-31-2005, 07:43 AM

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.

(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
