Boogie Nights vs. Close Encounters vs. Once Upon a time in America
Basically what the title says. I need to get movies for columbia house and have to get two. Which two of these would you choose? Each one is the 2 disc special edition if that makes a difference.

My $.02... Boogie Nights and OATIA... Boogie Nights is a great film, nice DVD. OATIA is way overrated by many IMHO... But, it's worth seeing once or twice. Good flick, not a great one. I've never liked CE3K and upon a recent viewing realized just how cheesy it really is. Just my opinion... But, yeah, if CE3K is your thing then get all 3.

1. Once Upon A Time in America, one of the greatest movies ever made.
Biiiig gap
2. Boogie Nights, OK but overrated
3. Close Occult Crap of the Most Idiotic Kind, well, I guess you can figure out what I think of it.

Here's a little help:
CE3K is discontinued in the 2 disc version. If you want the very good documentary that is in the second disc, I would pick that one up now as it's hard to find in stores.

Once Upon A Time in America is a great film, and I would definitely pick it up if I was you. But IMO it has less replay value than Boogie Nights does. I would definitely buy both of those; but as for the other one I have no clue since I have never seen it.

I have CE3K and Boogie Nights.
I will one day have OUATIA.
I found that Boogie Nights was much better after I'd watched it three times (I was in Mexico and it kept playing on the Hotel cable).
