I actually got it from this site in Feb. of this year - http://freaksandgeeksdvd.com/

I believe you can still get it there. Although, of course, it's not cheap.

Yeah, I bought that before the 20th anniversary edition came out. All of the full screen discs I have aren't by choice. Either gifts or the only available.

visitor Q: (I am more of a fan of mainstream, so I haven't seen a lot on your list.)

Best 3
Back to the Future Trilogy
The Incredibles (One of the best scripts in years.)
Shawshank Redemption - 10th Anniversary Box (One of my all-time favorites, and a great disc.)

Worst 3
The Big Hit
Lost Highway
Starship Troopers

Most Needed 3
One Crazy Summer (I like this Savage Steve Holland/Cusack pairing more than Better Off Dead, which I see you have.)
National Lampoon's Animal House (Goes hand in hand with Caddyshack, in my opinion.)
My Own Private Idaho CC (You seem to have some Criterions, and while this movie wasn't my favorite, it features one of my favorite actors in River Phoenix.)

Edit to include my collection: http://dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat=1&id=mijorico

DVDChris

mijorico it looks like we have a lot of the same tastes. And yes, I love Cool Runnings too!!

Best 3
Usual Suspects
L.A. Confidential
Married With Children series

Worst 3
XXX (I had this one too, but after additional viewings I sold it)
Evolution (I just didn't think it was too funny)
Fast and the Furious (couldn't pick any others, but I love the racing scenes in this)

Need 3
Because you love Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers, I thought these may also appeal to you:
Animaniacs

others:
Sin City
SNL: Best of Jimmy Fallon

HydroX2

Heres my link, I need some insight.

DVDChris:

Best 3
National Lampoon's Animal House
Se7en
Mickey Mouse in Living Color

Worst 3
*batteries not included (I used to watch it as a kid, but don't have fond memories of it.)
Police Academy: Mission to Moscow
Men In Black II (Liked the first one, but couldn't stand the sequel.)

Most Needed 3
Midnight Run (It's not the best disc, but the movie is one of my top 5 favorites. So if you have similar tastes, you might like it.)
Shawshank Redemption: 10th Anniversary Box Set (The upgrade is worth it if you can track it down. Even just the anniversary disc would be worth upgrading over the original release.)
The Ref (Again, not a great disc, but a great movie nonetheless.)

MrStayPuft

mijorico:

Best3:
1)Clerks X (Great dvd set, must have for all Kevin Smith fans)
2)Freeks and Geeks: The Complete Series Limited Year Book Edition (Do you have this unopened? you have the regular complete series listed as well)
3)Shawshank Redemption 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (I'd own it too had it not been OOP)

Worst 3:
1)The Stoned Age (never heard of it, so wins by default)
2)The Cooler (same as above)
3)Lucas - Family Feature (same as above, plus, nothing with family feature in the listing can be good)

Most Needed 3:
1)Alien and Aliens SE or the Quadrilogy (2 Great movies everyone should have, both loaded with features)
2)Ghostbusters (You have several Bill Murray earlier comedies like Groundhog Day and Stripes, I think Ghostbusters is his best work)
3)Jaws (Just a dvd I think everyone should have, my favorite Speilberg movie, and has tons of extras)

mijorico

Yeah, I haven't been able to bring myself to open it yet. Although I do want to see the interview at the Museum of Television.

I would've never guessed you were a Ghostbusters fan, MrStayPuft.

The only reason I haven't gotten it yet is because I'm not sure if I want the two pack or not. I do not like the sequel, but I'd like the cartoons.

And you're so wrong about my worst. You should check them out. When I get a chance later, I'll do your list and probably put those as your most needed.

jchamoun

HydroX2:

Best 3:
Batman: The Animated Series - Volumes 1 to 4
Dazed and Confused - Criterion Collection
The Fly - Collector's Edition

Worst 3:
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo - Little Black Book Edition
Nutty Professor 1 & 2 Set - The Franchise Collection
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Most Needed:
Rear Window (to add another Hitchcock film to your collection)
Panic Room - 3-Disc Special Edition (a good movie and a stellar DVD set, and it would complete your David Fincher collection)
King Kong (1933) (you have the remake, but the original is worth owning as well)

visitor Q

That's OK .. I forgive you

Thanks for the time and input. I'll check Private Idaho and One Crazy Summer (it's been awhile since I've seen it.) ...

AJAX

jchamoun,

BEST:
1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (the ultimate dvd edition thus far)
2. T2: Ultimate Edition
3. Almost Famous: Untitled Bootleg

WORST (excellent collection, so difficult to choose)
1. Batman & Robin
2. Donnie Darko (I never understood what all the hype for this film was all about)
That's all, really.

NEEDED
1. Seven Days In May (made by the same guy who directed Manchurian Candidate, also a political suspense film)
2. Futurama (esp since you're a fan of Family Guy and Simpsons)
3.The Maltese Falcon (the film that made Bogie a star)

My Collection

visitor Q

Well, since people are getting skipped, I'll get this back on track:

MrStayPuft

Best

Ghost in the Shell: SE (Classic stuff and the best DVD version in the world - I've seen six of 'em and own four)
Dust Devil LE (Sick specs on this set, period)
Ghostbusters: Ultimate CE LE tin (What can I say with a moniker of Mr Stay Puft?}

HM (A tie between the Malle box set and the Seven Samurai rerelease)

Worst

Kingdom of Heaven (Original release - though I'll cut some slack with the double dip. Not a great film, but not bad)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (I absolutely loved the original and just couldn't find it with this one)
Nochnoy Dozor (I really tried to dig this film, but it was way too erratic and ... I don't know, I wanted to ..)

HM (AVP .. of all the sci fi Alien/Predator series .. this one!?)

Needed

Avalon (Another Oshii masterpiece but live action. Though it feels very much like an anime title)
Twilight Samurai (To fix your samurai tastes, check out Yamada's contemporary classic take on a truly wonderful samurai period drama)
Musa (A Korean film that Kingdom of Heaven reminds me of in some ways. I'd highly recommend a viewing based on your tastes)

Overall a solid collection!!

Ajax

Best

La Dolce Vita: CE (Fun little film and excellent edition. Though the ultra expensive limited edition is only better)
Boogie Nights (Excellent film and edition)
Sin City: Recut, Extended, Unrated (One of the best comic adaptions to film and outstanding DVD release)

HM (True Romance: CE, BOB and Black Hawk Down 3 Disc)

Worst

The Rock (Criterion slapped their name on this one, ehhh? OK. Though the DTS is nice!)
Meet the Parents (Sorry, but Stiller is probably the second most one dimensional actor that I know of)
Dodgeball (See - Meets the Parents - above)

Needed

Following (You've picked up a couple of other Nolan titles, check out this short film of his)
The City of Lost Children (Same director as Amelie. Jeunet really knows how to weave a fantastical story line with interesting and engaging characters - this one slightly darker than Amelie)
Picnic and Hanging Rock: Criterion (Done by the Australian master, Peter Weir. Think you might dig this based on your tastes)

Nice collection!!

HydroX2

Cool, thanks jchamoun. I have been wanting to get Panic Room and the original Kong.

Apone

I received my last shipment. Please do mine!

Cosmic Bus

Apone

Best:

* Casino: 2-disc Special Edition R2 -- One of Scorsese's more underrated films, IMO and a very nice DVD release, to boot.
* Last of the Mohicans (Theatrical Cut) R2 -- I'd like to have this version instead of Mann's trimmed/edited one that's out in the US, but haven't gotten around to ordering this disc. Someday!
* Futurama - The Complete Collection -- I don't really think much of the Simpsons these days, or any other animated series, for that matter... But Futurama is great stuff and this looks like a very nice set.

Worst:

* Star Wars (series) -- I'm sure these are fine quality DVDs, but from my personal standpoint, it's series of movies I have absolutely no love for.
* Scarface -- One of the most inexplicably worshipped, overrated movies around.
* The Deet Hunter -- Just another one that I've never understood the praise for.

Most Needed:

* Leave Her To Heaven -- I see you've got several from Fox's classics line and seem to have a fair interest in noir, so you'd probably really enjoy this one.

* The Big Red One: Reconstruction/Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid -- There are quite a few great war and western films in your collection, and I think some branching out in these genres would be a welcome direction to try. These are a couple of my favorites that don't always come up in discussion of their respective genres.

* Hud -- Having recently watched this again, it's fresh in my mind, and I think it might fit nicely with your tastes. It's one of the finest films of the '60s for certain, and Paul Newman is astounding in it.

You have a nicely compact, quality collection, Apone.

Badmutha

Cosmic Bus:

Your collection looks a lot like mine.

The Best:

So many great ones, but here some of my favorites...

Big Red One: The Reconstruction (One of my all-time favorites)

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (Maybe Peckinpah's best)

Miami Blues (Underrated movie IMO)


The Worst:

This was hard, because your collection is superb...

A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Hulk - 2-Disc Special Edition

X-Files Seasons 7-9


Recommended

I always recommend Kurosawa...

and the new Galactica



My Collection @ dvdaf (the main page only shows the first 500 discs, the rest can be found using the subfolder links...)

AJAX

I thought I'd resurrect this post, to see how our collections have been progressing and to get advice on some titles.

Badmutha:

Best-
1. Band of Brothers - a great series in a wonderful packaging
2. Jaws, 30th Anniversary Ed - the picture looks great, and the full 2 hour doc is informative
3. Seven Samurai, CC - the re-released Criterion looks ten times better, and the extras are golden.

Worst -
1. Adventures of Ford Farlaine
2. Bio-Dome
3. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - I'm not a Kevin Smith fan but I respect his work. However, I thought I found absolutely no merit with this film.

Needed-
1. Aguirre, Wrath of God - you have the Herzog Collection, but it's missing this gem.
2. The Departed, 2-Disc - As an Infernal Affairs fan, this title is much needed
3. The Naked Gun - If you like Airplane!, then this is a worthy companion with a funny commentary by the filmmakers.

Quake1028

I have an unhealthy crush on Kelly Clarkson .

I had the AoD Boomstick, but sold it and haven't picked up another version. Casablanca is my favorite movie ever, but I just sold the 2 disc in anticipation of the HD-DVD. As for Ran, just haven't had the $$ to upgrade to the CC yet, but it's on the list.

Badmutha

Actually Aguirre in included in the Herzog/Kinski Collection, which I also own.

I had The Departed, but I did not like it nearly as much I did enjoy Infernal Affairs, so I sold it.
