Panic Room is comperable to the stunning Alien Quad as far as film DVD treatment.
Definately # 1 in my book, and I wasn't even a big fan of the film. This is one of the few titles that I purchased SOLELY because of the extras. Prior to this SE, I had no plans on owning this film.

Lost in Translation is my favorite movie of the bunch, but that dvd is not the greatest. I voted for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Platinum) because I always have to support horror movies getting the deluxe treatment.

Same here. I thought the movie was alright the first time I saw it, never thought I would own it. Glad I bought the Special Edition.
Well worth the money...

Re: Panic Room: SE
I've come to appreciate the film more on a second and third viewing. It's one I wouldn't have bought if not for the extras.
But while I thought the film was interesting and good but not great, the DVD extras are FABULOUS and really show how the film was put together. Knowing how much work and care went into it helped me to appreciate the film more.
I'm impressed with not only how comprehensive the extras are, but also how well-done. For instance, in the pre-vis intro Fincher mentions that he want to change something - cue a window on the bottom right that shows you the revisions (and nicely lables it as such). Classy.
My only beef with the extras is that there's no English subtitle for the extras - only Spanish. I haven't checked to see if they're close-captioned yet (I tend to use the DVD remote only, and it doesn't have a button for CC).

My vote went to the Dawn of the Dead Divimax...i appreciate making a 20 yr old horror movie look like it was made yesterday....great picture and sound quality is more important to me than a bunch of extras.

Another 'other' vote for Rules of the Game (if forced from the above list it would be Panic Room,a movie I thought was a little better than so-so,but it's a great dvd set).

Actually, according to the thread topic is does not. It's the best "DVD", not the best film, TV show etc etc.
