What was the first dvd you ever purchased?

For me it was Starship Troopers. I picked this up at wal-mart when they had like 10 or 11 dvd's behind a glass case. If I remember correct it was like $25 bucks too.

The first time I went shopping for DVDs I came out with Spawn, Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men. I also picked up My Best Friend's Wedding for my wife so she would think better of my new toy/hobby.

First one I ever played was END OF DAYS just so I could test the settings on my NEW DVD player on my PC. LOL.

But I THINK it was GHOSTBUSTERS.
