New to the DVD scene...

as the title says i am new to buying DVD's well fairly new anyway. I use my x-box DVD player but it seems gud enough.

Can any of you reccomend any purchases. My current list of films are:

LOTR: fELLOWSHIP
lOTR:TT
Men in black 2
Guest house paridiso
Daredevil
Catch me if you can
Die another day

take a look at my collection, I sort of have the same intrests as you do as well. And since you are in the uk and have an xbox, you are region free right (so get rid of your daredevil dvd and get the region 1 dvd, yours is cut by a few seconds due to a headbutt and a main charater getting a spear into their hand.)

Welcome.

I would suggest broadening out from the 22 year-old male action flick list.

Can't go too far wrong with this recent thread:

If you live in the UK I suggest you look at http://www.dvdcompare.org.uk/comparisons/ to make sure you don't get a censored DVD.
