Best DVD of Q2 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 second 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.

Here are the results for the Q1 vote:

1) Panic Room (SE) - 41 votes
2) Schindler's List - 22 votes
3) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Platinum) - 21 votes
4) Lost in Translation - 12 votes
5) Futurama - Vol. 3 - 11 votes
6) The Rules of the Game (Criterion) - 10 votes
7) The Commitments (CE) - 8 votes
8T) Curb Your Enthusiasm - Season One - 7 votes
8T) Dawn of the Dead (Divimax) - 7 votes
10) Chappelle Show: Complete First Season - 4 votes

The Simpsons

definitely monster legacy set.

The Simpsons Season Four

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (no contest!)

Freaks and Geeks LE Yearbook, easily

:up:

Pro-B

I went with Bubba Ho Tep...I love the film and the features...and figured not many would vote for it...so bah

No contest... Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series!

My vote for Q2 2004:

Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series

Honorable mentions:

The Leopard: Criterion Collection
Marx Brothers Collection: Box Set
Monster Legacy DVD Gift Set
Norther Exposure: The Complete First Season
SCTV: Volume One: Network 90
Walt Disney Treasures: Walt Disney On the Front Lines

Freaks and Geeks!!!!!! Definitely the best dvd of q2.

of the choices on the list though, Monster Legacy and Good,Bad,Ugly would be my top picks.

MATT

The Simpsons for all the commentarys.

A lot of great releases but I am going to go with Freaks and Geeks and Simpsons in a very close second.

Definitely.

Freaks and Geeks

Master and Commander CE gets my vote.

Simpsons 4th season. Haven't really gotten anything else lately that i just had to have or loved.

Freaks and Geeks

ditto.

Simpsons S.4

Freaks & Geeks

The Leopard was utterly impressive from start to finish. I haven't picked up Lower Depths yet, but I'm bound to love it. Simpsons: Season 4 is like Holy Writ to me.

Still, I gotta go with Walt Disney Treasures: Tomorrowland. Of all the discs I've gone through this year, I've come back to that set the most. Brings a smile to my face every time more than anything else I've seen this year, except for the dancing Lindsay Lohan pic. She's got some bounce!

So anyway, yeah my vote is for Other: WDT Tomorrowland.

Other: Master & Commander 2-disc

Other - Black Hawk Down (Superbit), solely for the best-I-have-ever-seen PQ on a DVD.

The Simpsons - The Complete Fourth Season
Bubba Ho-Tep
Monster Legacy DVD Gift Set

Edited my original post - I thought Freaks and Geeks was Q1,

Simpsons S4.

Easily Monster Legacy. Amazing set, excellent packaging and great price.

Good Bad Ugly hands down!

Simpsons Season 4- Best season ever, and unlike season 3, the menus and extras don't disappoint.

:up:

Bingo. This is definitely one of the best DVD ever.

Edit - If this was released on the 1st quarter than I vote for the Monster Legacy set.

I cannot believe The Leopard isn't a choice...

Simpsons Season 4

Another vote for Walt Disney Treasures: Tomorrowland.

In the past, I think that some of the Treasures have received too much attention for what they delivered but I think a strong case can be made for Tomorrowland as well as On the Front Lines.

Certainly their absence makes this poll questionable as to its merit. Don't have The Leopard yet but certainly it has drawn much more attention since release than Lower Depths.

Putting the Monster Legacy Box collections together also will bias the results i.e. whch collection is someone voting for? That would be like lumping all the Disney Treasures together.

Other than that ... great poll. ;)

Even though I can't speak for all of us who voted for it, it would be safe to assume we voted for the set (with the mini-busts) and not for any particular separate release.

Write in votes so far...

Freaks & Geeks x12
The Leopard x3
Master and Commander CE x2
Walt Disney Treasures: Tomorrowland x2
Black Hawk Down (Superbit) x1

The Leopard, easily (IMO)
