What DvD is a Collector's Dream?

[Joe1086]

What DvD do you guys think is the "Holy Grail" for DvD collectors?

[RyoHazuki]

Original Trilogy?

[Dammit]

The Great Space Coaster season sets.

[speedyray]

Depends on the person

I second the original trilogy though, because it really is a dream - probably will never happen

My wife would say every episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

[Leechboy]

One word, Salo.

[NaturalMystic79]

Alien Quadrilogy

[FuzzyBallz]

This really varies on the collector's taste. Salo, aka, shit eating gay italian porn, is like meeting a very very very beautiful woman, who turns out to have a dick.

I'm a simple man, I just want the complete seasons of Friends and the 3 LOTR EEs. That's it. Everything else is meh.

[RichDB10]

Bladerunner SE - if it ever sees the light of day after such a lengthy wait.

[corycouger]

The complete 1st and 2nd season of Miami Vice.

I wish I could have all the episodes uncut and unedited and dvd quality instead I have to settle for old TNN reruns taped on VHS in 2001.


Also the complete box set of every single Twilight Zone episode and lost episodes in one big set.

[eedoon]

For me - its every movie I wanted to watch and collect. I don't want only one or two titles, but I want a good collection of movie.

ULTIMATE THX DEMO DISC

Agreed. Unfortunatly for me there are way too many movies I want to get and not nearly enough money to buy them.

[Mountain Biker]

Freaks and Geeks LE Yearbook

[Michael Corvin]

Raiders of the Lost Ark or Last Crusade autographed by Spielberg, Lucas & Ford.

[Drexl]

The original long version of Greed, with the film spread across 3 or 4 discs and 2 discs of extras.

[rfduncan]

Agreed. AND the original Little Shop of Horrors with the original deleted ending. However, I own that. :D I wish David Geffen would re-release it in color though. :(

[Kinyo]

I would give away ALL 291 DVDS I have for a copy of Salo. No joke!

The Critic: The Complete Series

[speedy1961]

Salo: The Animated Series

[MasterCXtreme]

:up: Don't know if it would fit the idea, but it's a great set.

I was thinking something more a long the lines of LOTR, Star Wars, and Alien.

[eeyoreed]

All seasons of The Simpsons with bonus material.

At the rate they're going . . .

-eeyoreed :)

[lcnickell]

Over the edge on DVD

ohhhhh, or a DVD Box Set tribute to the Late Steven Spielberg

[Roy Batty]

I'd have to vote for Jurassic Park (DTS). Best sound track I own, and for anyone whose's not seen it (my in laws hadn't been to the theater in 40 years) it never fails to blow them away.

[ukywyldcat]

Road Warrior UE CE SE and all that...

[PopcornTreeCt]

Master & Commander 2-Disc

[wastro]

Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box.

[Tscott]

A boxset with the complete videos of Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Juliana Hatfield, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Belly, Throwing Muses, Kristin Hersh, Liz Phair and more given away free to anyone who can prove they bought at least one cd by one of the featured artists.

Or maybe that's just me...

(note: I didn't include Bjork in that list because she already has a complete collection out on DVD- but you should've known that already)

[ukywyldcat]

I would get a free one...I have bought PJ Harvey and Juliana Hatfield.

<i>proving</i> it would be another thing...I bought them over 10 years ago so the receipts are likely gone...

I also think I bought a Tori Amos too but hated that...Harvey and Hatfield were good though...

[Der Zorn Gottes]

That depends on the collector, like they said.

And with that said...my dream DVD release would be a boxed set of Luis Garcia Berlanga's films, containing, atleast, Bienvenido Mister Marshall, Placido, and El Verdugo.

[Alan Smithee]

Every TV commercial from the 1970s.

[chente]

I second Blade Runner SE. I keep waiting for that one to come out. I'd also like a Batman and Batman II SE.

[orangeguy]

[ukywyldcat]

Every time I browse the thread titles quickly I keep seeing this as "What is a DVD Collector's Dream"...which would be lots of naked models wanting to watch my DVDs with me, among other things... :drool:

[Randy810]

----BLADE RUNNER SPECIAL EDITION----

----STAR WARS ORIGINAL VERSIONS AND no mention of A NEW HOPE----

[Playitagainsam]

But Randy, those are both available....

Sorry, you meant OFFICIAL DVDs? :)

All jokes aside, I don't think there's anything that can compare with the Alien Quadrilogy set...

[milo bloom]

This Island Earth!

(works best if sung in the voices of two robots and a janitor)

Seriously, I held this $10 DVD in my hands so many times it isn't funny.

At least I have the original SW and BR on LD to tide me over.

[Leechboy]

I'll update my answer with the 4 original OOP Criterions. Salo, The Killer, The 400 Blows and Spinal Tap.

Unedited, w/ Japanese audio and English subtitles (OK, it would be called Space Battleship Yamamoto, but still...)

[critterdvd]

The Complete Series of Buffy the Vampire, with a commentary on every episode, the first draft scripts, and every deleted Scenes and tv spot. I have been looking for the tv spot that aired before the first episode, every since the show air (it was a black and white clip describbing a short history of the slayers).

Maybe you'd save some cash if you just got an all region DVD player and the UK DVD of Salo.

But I'll take the 291 DVD's instead if you want :)

[spizz]

The Game (Criterion)

I agree.

[Regurgitator]

Beat this! This is the ultimate Collector's Dream:

Thank god, I haven't started collecting any of the Bond dvds.

Unless it's a homemade box, it's just one of those special editions they've done for other Warner titles with the same disc and some extra things like cards and maybe the CD soundtrack. Of course it would contain Warner's edition of the film, which is anamorphic but not the unrated cut.

If it's homemade, it could be a box for housing both DVD versions: Warner's and the Trimark edition which is unrated but non-anamorphic.

[RichDB10]

Yeah...almost forgot about that one...which also reminds me about the long awaited port of the laserdisc set of The Frighteners onto DVD.

[Playitagainsam]

What's on the Frighteners LD that was NOT on the DVD? I'm really curious...

[Mooch673]

The Killer (Criterion)
Hard Boiled (Criterion)
Bullet in the Head (Criterion)

[Master Killer]

You are going to have to wish real hard for these DVDs, since the original audio tracks for these movies are in Cantonese. But if your dream is for these movies in original Japanese version, then I hope your dream comes true.

[The Exister]

Mario Bava's Rabid Dogs !

[WingKongExpress]

Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in their original theatrical release - ie not screwed up by Lucas.

[Gcomeau]

Wing Kong is the winner. That's what i'd love to see.

Looks brilliant

[Hiro11]

Chungking Express LE with lots of extras
Slacker LE (the 1991 movie)

I was about to say this! I paid $90 for it a few months back and feel totally okay with it, it's a great movie, but the fact that only about 13 people have it just makes it that much better ;). Also, I third (or fourth, or whatever) The Game (Criterion) and the original trilogy.

This is a concept for a 40th anniversary Bond set to be released in the fall of '05.

My guess is it won't end up so extravagant because the price would have to be astronomical, thus very few sales. That is if it gets released at all...

[The Infidel]

This collector's dream DVD is any of my favorite movies I used to watch on VHS on a regular basis during my youth with my friends. Examples: I was elated, and quite possibly gasped out loud, when I found Near Dark and Legend Collectors' Editions in the stores.

My next dream disc will be Erik The Viking.

[bballing]

Hoop Dreams The Criterion Collection.

[cross]

My dream is that all DVDs to magically have an MSRP of 1 dollar ( at least just for me) Everyone else can pay retail.

[Ruderic]
