Around the World in 80 Days (1956) - This is one of my favorite movies and Warner's 2-disc SE was my most anticipated of the entire year.
However, I got to see a lot of movies for the first time, thankfully through DVD...
THX 1138 is my favorite "re-discovery." It's one of my favorites now.
Other favorites...
the 2nd Looney Tunes 4-disc set... over half of the cartoons are favorites. I also love the Tomorrowland and On the Front Lines volumes of Walt Disney Treasures.
