1) Alien Quadrilogy

When you're creating a box set for a film franchise, THIS is how you do it. A two-disc special edition for every film in the series with multiple cuts of the film, great audio and video quality, and fantastic extras. Then you throw in an extra disc into the mix and you have the greatest DVD set ever assemble. This one will be tough to beat.

2) Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Extended Edition

3) Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Extended Edition

New Line did one bang up job on these two releases. While I'm just a causal fan of the series, these two DVDs will take you at least a few days to completely digest. Overall, two perfect DVDs.

4) Almost Famous: The Bootleg Edition

One of my favorite films of all times done beautifully by this three-disc (2 DVDs and 1 CD) set. The extended cut makes a great film an amazing film.

5) Fight Club: Special Edition
One of the first and one of the best two-disc special editions ever.

6) Brazil: The Criterion Collection
The only thing missing from this set is an anamorphic transfer.

7) Firefly: The Complete Series
The way a television show should be done when it comes to DVD. Great anamorphic transfers and a nice wealth of extras.

8) The Work of Director Spike Jonze
"How To Make a Music Video 101"

9) Donnie Darko
One of the most packed single disc special editions ever.

10) Mallrats: Collector's Edition
The one disc in which every special feature is worth viewing multiple times.

1) Terminator 2 Judgement Day: Ultimate Edition
I have to put my favorate movie of all time on top. Also there's tons of quality extras. This also happens to be the first DVD I ever bought.

2) Alien Quadrilogy
As a DVD set this is my #1 however the forth movie and no participation from David Fitcher kept it from getting to #1. Alien 3 is made better with the special edition cut and also has one of the most honest making of documentries I ever seen. Aliens has what probably is the best audio commentary I ever listened to.

3) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition
After buying this DVD, it made it seem like every DVD out there is barebones. The extended edition helped this movie more than it helped The Two Towers (which is still made better by the extended edition)

4) Band of Brothers
I blind bought this can you believe that! Biggest blindbuy I ever made and it was defently worth it. If I could go back through time I'd buy it sooner, it's that good. Don't let the price scare you.

5) Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Vista Series)
This rerelease made me forgive them for the disappointing initial release. Simply put, this movie is the best mix between cartoons and live action which is amazing considering it's the first to do so too. Also, how many movies have you seen have a fight between Donald Duck and Daffy Duck? And how many times have you seen Bugs Bunny and Micky Mouse in the same scene? None. It also has great extras.

6) Gladiator (2-Disc Set)
Ridley Scott's epic masterpeice. This is the first DVD I ever bought it has a special place in my heart.

7) Pulp Fiction (Collector's Edition)
Why is there no audio commentary? QT is really good with them as he demonstrated in True Romance. Great movie and great DVD release.

8) Fight Club (Special Edition Double Digipack)
Talk about a movie with lots of replay value! The 2 disk edition is back in print so there's no reason for you not to buy it. The 2nd disk is worth the extra money you pay for. The infamous "I want your abortion" line is included in the deleted scenes.

9) Memento (Limited Edition 2-Disc Set)
One of the best opening/endings I've seen in a movie. If you seen the movie you'll know what I mean. This movie makes you think which is a good thing since that's what many movies now a days don't want you to do. It's fresh and original. I'd rank it higher but the menus in the 2nd disk is so hard to navigate through it's hard to view all the extra features. So I don't believe I've seen all the extras yet lol.

10) The Godfather DVD Collection
Last but not least is this excellent box set.

Probably because not everyone heads straight to the DVD Talk Forum. I'm sure people head for the Movie Forum or the Other forum and so forth. Maybe the Mods would make an exception and let us post a thread with a link to this thread so that we could get more participation from the members of DVDTalk.

NitroJMS

1 - Moulin Rouge - 2 Disc Edition
After two years, this still holds up as my favorite demo disc. A simply stunning video transfer and an excellent DTS track to go along with it. The plethora of extras doesn't hurt either.

2 - Fight Club - 2 Disc Edition

3 - Mallrats
Some of the best extras ever are on this disc, and it gets my vote for best commentary track ever.

4 - The Indiana Jones Collection

5 - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

6 - Citizen Kane

7 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 5

8 - Family Guy - Volume 1

9 - Tomorrow Never Dies: Special Edition

10 - WWE - The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection
The most comprehensive collection of a single wrestler's career at 3 discs, this package is so great, it leaves me wanting more.

Sorry to highjack, but I just fundamentally disagree with this. Brazil, Ultimate Toy Box, Fight Club, and others established the standard and showed what DVD could be 3 to 4 years before LOTR. How can a disc that came out in 2002 establish the standard for anything?

I don't know if LOTR:EE set the standard as much as "raised the bar."

I think the first popular 2-disc SE was "Fight Club," which came out in June 2000. It wasn't long after that that double disc DVDs became *commonplace* rather than a rarity. Now we're starting to see more discs with two discs of extras (which the Lord of the Rings: Extended Editions, Black Hawk Down, and the upcoming Panic Room: SE offer).

Will the three disc set become the norm? I don't know. I hope if it does, though, they don't use horrid digipaks for them and go with the NextPak slim keepcases (like the Alliance version of the Pianist or the Futurama and Family Guy sets).

Okay, enough off-topic chit-chat.

*** THE ABOVE HAVE ALL BEEN TALLIED ***

There are 242 total titles. Some surprises currently await the Top 20, but all of that could be upset in the next week.

If you haven't voted yet, you still have until the 31st of January 2004.
