Best DVD of Q1 2004

Continuing from similar polls held throughout both 2002 & 2003, this poll is to help gauge what everyone feels is the best DVD released within the first quarter of 2004.

***REMEMBER - this poll is for the best DVD (i.e. audio quality, video quality, Special Features, etc.), NOT best movie released on DVD... although I guess the film quality does matter to some extent.

If you wish to cast a vote for a title other then one listed in the poll... please select other, and then post your title in this thread. When the total votes are tallied... these "write in" votes will be counted as well.

I'd have to say The Chappelle Show First Season DVD followed by Dawn of the Dead. These are the latest dvds i've picked up.

It's a tie between Panic Room and Texas Chainsaw... both of those are two of the best SE's I've ever seen.

Ed Wood, but since that wasn't actually released, I went with Futurama.

Another vote for The Rules of the Game: Criterion Edition (and yes, the quality of the film itself does matter!)

Honorable mentions:

The Best of Abbott & Costello, Volume 1 (Universal) "best bargain"
The Chaplin Collection: Volume Two (WB)
The Douglas Fairbanks Collection (Kino)

A third vote for The Rules of the Game: Criterion Collection. It should be included on the poll.

Panic Room. Hands down.

Another fantastic special edition from Fincher and crew. Since Alien 3, Se7en, and Fight Club all have great two-disc special editions and Panic Room has an amazing three-disc special edition it's only time before Fincher's The Game gets an SE. Come on Universal and/or Criterion!

Another vote for La Règle du jeu: Criterion Collection (Rules of the Game). It's a great DVD of one of the greatest films of all time.

My second runner-up would be the Panic Room: SE - it fits the "Film School in a Box" title.

I voted for Dawn of the Dead: Divimax...although TCM and Panic Room are probably the better sets...and I've watched Futurama Vol. 3 more than the others...the DOTD disc is just awesome! The film looks like it was shot last week and the commentary is great!

With its April 6th release date, it just missed the first quarter.

But I imagine it'll have a strong showing in next quarter's poll.
