What was the first DVD you ever bought and do you still have it?
My first was Red Dawn in January 2001. I still got it. I'd love to see an HD-DVD release of this, now that I just ordered a new player.

Purchased 07/04/01 @ Wal-Mart two days before buying my dvd player.
Yes, and I will always keep this one for sentimental reasons.
I'm also still using that same dvd player (Sony DVP-NS400D).

Apocalypse Now Redux was my first DVD that came with an option of free DVD when I bought my home theatre system. Later I purchased Saving Private Ryan SE. I think this was in late 2004.

September 97 - Yes and no. I bought six dvd's and still have the original versions of The Road Warrior and Risky Business. I bought Batman, Unforgiven, The Doors and Vacation at that time but have upgraded to the SE's over the years.

First one I got was for X-Mas with my first DVD player and it was The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps and yes I still have it. First one I bought was either The Sopranos Season 1 or Toy Story 1/2 two pack.

Sleepy Hollow - Bought around June - July 2000 when I bought my first player. Still have it.
A few weeks ago I bought my first HD-DVD, Serenity. I don't have a player yet, but it's on the shelf waiting.

The first DVDs I ever bought were from Columbia House and all I remember is that the Matrix was a part of the order. At the time I didn't even own a DVD player. I had about 2OO VHS cassettes I was trying to unload first. Anyway I don't currently own that particualr DVD because in 2001 I sold my 200+ collection for $2K. Can't get that now! But since then I've brought my collection up to about 900+. YIPPEE!

Apocalypse Now in about May 2000. I was a bit slow in buying a DVD Player - I waited until the price dropped below $250. Yes, I still have it. I also have the other 2 versions of Apocalypse Now.
