Had to sell the 65 I had a while back, because I needed $ fast for a family issue..

Anyways, Im back to buying them again, and im up to 2 now..

Dude, Where's My Car?
Anger Management

Ive learned a lot from these boards, including, always buy WS versions! I might get a WS tv sometime, and dont wanna play FS movies on them! Plus you can see more of the movie ive heard on here.

My favorite kind of movie is Comedy. I also like Action/Adventure, and some Documentary's and Horror.

What are some good titles in those categories for a "just starting over" DVD collector?

Some of my main wants are..

Spoof Movies (ALL Of The Scary Movies, Not Another Teen Movie, etc.)
Meet The Parents (When does Meet The Fockers come out)
Old School
Dodgeball

Swingers

Scarface
Knockaround Guys

You should check out the thread regarding DVDs that everybody has in their collection.

You can see more of the movie in widescreen??? Really??? Nooo....say it ain't so.


But seriously, in order to better recommend titles for you, a basic question is in order here. How old are you? You say you like comedies and some action/adventure and horror.

Do historical period pieces interest you? Like Troy, Gladiator, or Braveheart? Or war films? Like Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, or Enemy at the Gates?

Im 16, dont really like braveheart type movies, ive seen saving private ryan, gory to say the least, but i enjoyed it. I also enjoyed behind enemy lines..

About Spoof Movies, try Hot Shots, Hot Shots Part Deux, The Cheap Detective, Murder By Death, and Shaun of the Dead.

As for other genres, look into boxsets. They are generally cheaper than buying the titles individually. Try the latest Scorsese boxset.

If you like spoof movies, such as Scary Movie, than you should definately pick up Don't Be A Menace in South Central While You're Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

Ive heard a lot of good things about Shaun Of The Dead, is it really good?

I really liked the 2004 Dawn Of The Dead

I like a lot of TV shows, and ton are out now for seasons on dvd, do some of you only collect box sets? (movies, and tv shows)?

For starters, take advantage of the great resources here at DVD Talk - such as the reviews. Here's a link to the review of Shaun of the Dead (and you can search for other reviews via the review seach at the top of this page):

Spoof movies and no one's mentioned Airplane!? Some of you need to lay off the gluesniffing...

You can't go wrong with Jim Carrey's older movies:
Dumb and Dumber
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
The Mask

These are all relatively cheap. Also, pick up Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, an hilarious spoof of older kung-fu flicks.

Yeah, I'm interestred in picking up Shaun of the Dead also, but that review didn't help at all.

I highly recommend:

Girl Next Door - Unrated
Mallrats
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Club Dread

And now some classics that I think everyone should see:

Once Upon a Time in the West ($8-$9 at stores, get it!)
Evil Dead Trilogy
The Thing
Good, Bad, and the Ugly
Indiana Jones Trilogy

I think all of the above you'd enjoy.

'Airplane!' is being re-released later this year in a special edition, so it would be a bad movie to buy at this time.

Blazing Saddles

For some reason, I don't think that would be relevant here.

Quigon - ive seen a few of those, and wouldnt mind owning a lot of them, thnx for all the suggestions


Everyone else - thank you too for the suggestions

Also Quigon, I like all of the Kevin Smith movies, imo hes a genious, arent they coming out with Mallrats 10th Anniversery edition?

lol this thread is getting good. No offense, but some of the suggestions don't really seem to "fit" in with Kornboy's style. Kevin Smith is good, though...

If you're going to get Shaun of the Dead...buy the 2 pack for $19.99 where you get Dawn of the Dead also...

u6c84 - what store?

Target, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon.com...

2 Pack for 15$ not 20$. And at COSTCO.

CLERKS should be right up your alley, and if you feel like getting a touch more serious, try Chasing Amy (both directed by Kevin Smith)

Get as many film noir as possible.

All those are great. Also get any hitchcock that you can.

ive heard that word before.. film noir


what exactly is film noir?
