I got into the DVD thing rather late. First DVD I bought was Moulin Rouge just around a little less than a year ago.

First DVD I saw though was probably three year or so years ago, I watched the opening sequence of Tomorrow Never Dies.

My first was on January 1, 1998: Pale Rider.

RD

The City Of Lost Children

I bought The Devils Advocate (The OPP version). It was a
new release at the time. Second movie was The Jackel with
Gere and Willis.

I was looking for anything with a lot of extras and there just
weren't a ton of movies available at the time. :D

Jason

Contact
Ozzy: Live and Loud
Scream

Ah yes, what a great thread. I was thinking of starting one of these. So, okay. First DVD that I bought for MYSELF was:

Monty Python & The Holy Grail (movie Only)

Then my next one was "The Matrix" for my birthday. And "X-men" and "Tommy Boy" for christmas.

I think I got these in 2000 or 2001. Somewhere in between I bet.

Labyrinth, Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness.

Dazed And Confused back in 1998

Bought the player in November of 97, traded my Laserdisc player for a new Pioneer Dv-500 and 5 free movies, the movies I chose, not a lot to pick from then maybe like 40 Movies, were

Lethal Weapon
The Fugitive
Glimmer Man
Twister
Lethal Weapon 2

I no longer own those versions of Lethal Weapons, Fugitive, and Twister

But the first movie to spin in my DVD player was the Fugitive, Than I purchased Murder at 1600 and Executive Decision a week later.

I still remember owning a Snapper Version of Goldeneye, Wheh that was long ago, when I bought Apollo 13 for 34.95 and Air Force One in February of 98 for 29.99, thanked god i bought it in keepcase vs the cd case, its still with me, and cd cases never really took off

Donnie Darko last summer

Geez, way back when all of it started.. The Long Kiss Goodnight. I wanted a movie with big explosions to test theings out. ( I like that movie too)

My very first DVD was Princess Mononoke...I got it and a player for my birthday in 2001.

Dont remember but it was either Children of the Corn 6: Isaac's Return or Deep Impact. One of those.

Hmmm. I think it was The Matrix, on one of the old Apex players w/ the region and macrovision bypass bug :D

My first dvd player was a gift, and I believe I saw T2 - Ultimate Edition on it, though I may be wrong. Not sure. It could've been some rental, on the other hand....

Friend got me Predator for my bday :)

heh

Sanjay

Ronin for me. Bought it 3 weeks before I got my player as a matter of fact.

ahh yes T2 UE was the first DVD I bought and was the first thing I ever ordered online with amazon... I ended up with three copies of it, two of them free, because I was worried it was lost in the mail :lol: amazon in the good old days :)


Dukemstr

L.A Confidential

Jim Carrey's "The Mask".

Trainspotting

My first DVD was Final Destination which I then followed up with an order from Columbia House. I got:
The Silence of the Lambs
The Sixth Sense
The Matrix
Meet the Parents
Pitch Black
Dumb and Dumber

March '98
Boogie Nights
LA Confidential
Amadeus

Note that two of those discs have been redone and upgraded, teaching me my first valuable lesson in DVD : you're going to get screwed repeatedly.

My first was Wishmaster. I was working at a video store, and it was given to the owner. He didn't even own a DVD player, but I had one on my computer. After that, I was hooked.

The Matrix.

My first DVD was Blade Runner, way back in '98.

LA Confidential a full 2 years before I got my DVD player. I had to invite myself over to people's houses to watch it. LOL.

I got L.A Confidential for free with my player back in 1998. I think Austin Powers was the first one that I bought.

I bought two DVDS when I bought my Samsung player. I believe it was June 20, 2000 or whenever theses discs were released. I'm pretty sure I got them first day.

Fight Club, 2 discer-$19.99
Next Friday-$15.99

At Bes Buy.

Metallica - S&M

I'm another one who bought Boogie Nights.
I also got Space Jam.

I think I could get 6 dvds now for what I paid for them then.

Make that 3 of us!

Saving Private Ryan

November 1999: Big Daddy almost a month after I got my player

Sleepy Hollow in June of 2000.

Back in the summer of 2000, we got a new 27" Panasonic television, a Toshiba SD-1700, and a copy of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Way back in 1998 i purchased my first dvd player at target and they were giving away two dvd's of your choice with a dvd player purchase,

"For Richer Or Poorer" and

'Wizard Of Oz"...

I think the first two DVDs I bought were Don Juan DeMarco and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, before I even got my player. Don Juan was the first one I watched on my own player. I think the first DVD I watched was Sleepy Hollow, on my friend's DVD player, in 2000. Man, I swear, all my friends had DVD players before me and I was the one who wanted one so bad. I think the second DVD I saw was Baseketball, but that might've been the first and Sleepy Hollow second. I'm not entirely sure.

While I did receive several from my brother-in-law as Christmas gifts to go with then new player, the first one I bought (which, of course, is what counts) was Blade Runner. The minute I found out it was on DVD, I ran out an bought it. I'll do it again as soon as whoever is holding it up released the CE version.
