William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996) - 4 VERSIONS
*I bought the "Special Edition" when that came out.
*Then I got the Baz Luhrmann Box set which contains the same version of the dvd but has different box art.
*Then I picked up the Shakespeare Box set which contains William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996), Titus (2-disk SE), and A midsummer's Nights Dream (Note: I also now have 2 copies of the Titus: 2-disk Se because of this box set)
*Finally I got the William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet: Music Edition of the film.
And I still have all 4 versions. I dont like to break apart box sets to sell but might end up selling my original SE or the one in the Shakespeare box set.
ALEXANDER - 4 VERSIONS
*2-Disk WS Theatrical Edition DVD
*2-Disk WS "Director's Cut" DVD (picked this up on release date with the Theatrical edition)
*2-Disk "Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut" DVD
*2-Disk "Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut" HD-DVD (This is really the SOLE reason i bought an HD-DVD to be able to get the exclusive special features on the HD-DVD version. I was disgusted the features were not on the standard DVD version but i did cave in when the players were at Wal-Mart for $99 + 5 free DVD's and Alexander for $16. The strange thing is I still hve only watched the Theatrical DVD edition of the film so far. Someday I'll get to the other versions.)
And I still own all 4 versions of this one as well.
TROY- 3 VERSIONS
*2-disk WS TROY DVD(original version) (Movie Gallery $5 pre-viewed)
*2-disk ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVD BOX SET of TROY: Director's Cut
*2-disk TROY: Director's Cut HD-DVD (They sent me this with the 5 free rebate program when i bought the player even though I did not choose it as one of my selections)
JAMES BOND (3 VERSIONS OF DIE ANOTHER DAY; 2 Version of the other 19 FILMS before CASINO ROYALE)
* Die Another Day: 2-disk SE;
*1-disk Special Editions of all the James bond Films (die another day is 2-disk) (these were the box sets that came out in 2002 and 2003 I believe);
*And i picked up all 4 of the 10 disk (2-disks per film) box sets that came out in 2006.
*I bought the "Special Edition" when that came out.

"Leon". I lost count how many times.

I think Die Hard is my only quadruple dip, with the VHS tape, original DVD, Ultimate Collection DVD, and Blu-ray disc.
Technically that may not even be accurate, because I don't remember if we actually purchased the VHS tape or if it was given to us. We did have the real tape, so I'll go ahead and let it count.

The only title that I can think of that I've triple-dipped on DVD only is:
Blade Runner:
1-disc original DVD
1-disc remastered DVD
5-disc briefcase edition

At least triple dips on Stargate and the Fifth Element (quad if you count VHS).
Almost Famous: Original, Bootleg Cut, Blu
and then Star Wars is a another subject in and of itself.

I got four DVD copies of Toy Story and/or five copies if you count my LD. I also got a bunch of T2s as well as some of the Universal horror films and the first two alien movies. I also got three DVDs (coiunting the HD) of Carpenter's The Thing plus 2 LDs. I'm sure there's plenty of other titles in the same range.

Looking over at my collection, I don't think I have any triple dippings, yet. Two Army of Darkness, two Videodrome, two Nightmare on Elm Street, and a couple others.

For me it would have to be Troy. I have the original theatrical 2 disc widescreen DVD, the 2 disc director's cut DVD, and the Troy Ultimate Collector's Edition DVD. Leon comes a close second.

Well. I own the 1-disc Close Encounters (got it for $2), the 2-disc (found it a month later in a 2-for-15 deal), and recently the Close Encounters Blu-ray.
Also, the 2-disc theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven, as well as the 4-disc Director's Cut, and the blu-ray of the DC.
I also bought Cars and Pirates 1 & 2 on blu-ray after already owning the dvds.
