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.

I bought 2001 in June of 99, the day I bought my player. That week I bought Heathers, Lolita, and Vertigo the next day. Have not slowed down since.

Terminator 2, when it was first released years ago.

The first DVD I ever saw was Jumanji(the original bare bones release). I had just gotten back from seeing Alien Resurrection at the theater and my parents were watching it on their newly purchased DVD player. It looked and sounded great, but I still didn't know much about the format and refused to let go of laserdiscs.

The first DVD I ever bought I believe was Legal Wreckin 2(again the original non-anamorphic release). I had gotten a new computer in August 1998 and it came with a DVD-Rom player. That's when I really became hooked on the format.

The Green Mile from a store that broke the release date. Must have been 3 years ago. The first dvd I watched was Bride of Chucky which I saw a few months before that.

The Thing and 5 DIVX titles. That same week I got The Alien Legacy box set.

I remember I bought a DVD player before there was really anything out that I wanted on DVD. I ended up getting R.E.M. Roadmovie, simply to have something to use in my player. that was about 5 1/2 years ago, I think I have somewhere around 250 DVDs now. Also remember the Player cost me about $700 at the time, if only I knew how cheap they would be today.

Galaxy Quest or Matrix, it has been awhile since I bought them.

Iron Giant was the 5th or 6th DVD I picked up.

folgersnyourcup 07-02-03 02:00 PM

The Nightmare On Elm Street DVD Boxed set the day it was released. I bought this several months before I got the player in preparation.
