I've double-dipped on:
Amadeus Batman Ben Hur Bram Stoker's Dracula A Christmas Story Clear and Present Danger The Fugitive Gladiator The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Highlander The Hunt for Red October In the Line of Fire JFK Lawrence of Arabia Lord of the Rings (all 3) Patriot Games The Right Stuff The Shawshank Redemption Top Gun I will soon double-dip on: Office Space Dune There are a few Hitchcock movies that I had and sold when I repurchased them as part of a box set: North by Northwest, Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window and The Man Who Knew Too Much. I have purchased Army of Darkness only once. Edit: Technically, I guess I've triple-dipped on the Star Wars Trilogy. |
Only double dipped on Rushmore. Didn't matter much, I got the original free with some coupon from Reel.com using their buy 2 get one free deal or something of that nature. Man, that was an awesome code. I think I scamed Reel.com with that code over 17 times using other people's addresses and such.

The only triple dip that I can think of for me is "Dr. Strangelove". I also have owned three copies of the first "Robocop" movie on DVD, but I got rid of the the non-Criterion single disc when the 3-disc collection came out. I may still have three different copies of "Alien".
|
My only Dip has come from "The Lost Boys"... recorded it on VHS, then bought the VHS, then the original DVD, and finally the special edition...
The only other movie I would Dip more on would be "the goonies" |
Alien 3
Donnie Brasco From Dusk Till Dawn Heat La Femme Nikita Leon: The Professional Panic Room Robocop Se7en The Shawshank Redemption Plus a few more I'm sure escape me. Edit: Can't believe I forgot Panic Room, possibly the best double-dip. |
I double dipped on:
The Muppet Christmas Carol (original full screen release and the recent release) Alien (bought the original 20th anniversary DVD then the Quadrilogy) X-Men (bought the original then the 1.5) Daredevil (bought the original then the director's cut) Elektra (bought the original then the director's cut) The Rocky Series (bought the original box set and then the re-release box set) Mallrats (original then the 10th anniversary) Terminator 2 (ultimate edition then got the extreme edition) Tommy Boy (original then the most recent edition) There's Something About Mary (original then the 2 disc) Spaceballs (original then the 2 disc) To Kill a Mockingbird (original then the 2 disc) The Silence of the Lambs (Criterion Collection then the Special Edition released when Hannibal Came Out) Batman, Batman Returns & Batman Forever (All originals, then the anthology) House on Haunted Hill (Double bill with Last Man on Earth, then the new version with Mike Nelson Commentary) Jaws (original non-DTS release, then the 30th anniversary) Saw (original widescreen releae, then the unrated version) The Fly / The Fly 2 (original double bill, then each SE separately) Halloween II (a cheap Goodtimes version, then the official Universal release) The Toxic Avenger (original release, then the 21st anniversary) Psycho II / Psycho III (original full screen version of part 2 and widescreen part 3 from Goodtimes, then the newer widescreen releases) Psycho / The Birds / Rear Window (original single release, the Alfred Hitchock Masterpiece Collection) Ben-Hur (original release, then the 4 disc) I've Triple Dipped On: The Blues Brothers (VHS released when BB2000 came out, the original DVD, then the 25th anniversary) Night of the Living Dead (30th anniversary, special collector's edition, millennium edition) Halloween (original anchor bay release, the TV version, the 25th anniversary 2 disc) The Exorcist (25th anniversary, then the 25th anniversary box set with the book and stuff, then the version you've never seen) I've Quadruple Dipped on: Original Star Wars Trilogy (SE VHS Full Screen, SE VHS Widescreen, Definitive Laserdisc, original DVD release) And I'm sure there is more |
Terminator 2, for some odd reason i've owned all three versions.
|
Why limit ourselves to DVDs. Consider my purchase history of THE WILD BUNCH:
Bought the CED (which was the home video debut of the director's cut) when it was released in 1982. Bought the laserdisc a few years later. Bought a beta version (mostly because I found it cheap) (Hey, I'm the king of doomed formats) Bought the deluxe LD box set because it was letterboxed and had what seemed like a ton of extras (this was the pre-DVD era) Bought the R4 DVD because it was anamorphic (even though it was still a flipper). And I'll be first in line to get the new collector's edition as part of the Peckinpah box set. |
4x - halloween
3x - tcm 3x - children shouldn't play with dead things (pre-ordered the uncut) And a few double dips which if fast (and sadly) becoming the standard thing to do in the dvd world. They almost never get it right the first time. |

I have several triple dips...including staples like Cannibal Holocaust and T2. But I really love my quadruple dipsters...mainly because of artwork. Die Nonnen von Clichy, now I believe OOP, features 4 different covers. This is a Franco quad dip as is another nunsploitation title which also has 4 covers....and I bought them for that reason.
I can show this cover....forget about the other 3.rotfl http://www.xploitedcinema.com/images/dvds/demons_a.jpg |
Das Boot. Director's Cut to Superbit to full miniseries.
There are many I have double dipped on, but I believe Das Boot is the only one I've triple dipped on. |
Halloween. I've purchased five different incarnations on DVD alone. Then there's the 4 VHS copies and one Beta copy looming in my past. And I'm sure I'll probably end up buying it at least 3 or 4 more times in whatever High def format becomes the new standard.

I've double dipped a couple of times on DVDs for "upgrades," but I've now bought Batman 4 times: VHS, VHS Widescreen, DVD, DVD Special Edition.

Taxi Driver Criterion CLV laserdisc, CAV Laserdisc, DVD (wish it was Criterion). (Usually I don't count format upgrades, but I paid a lot of money for those) Nosferatu (1922) Image first print. Left it in a DVD player I had to return, so got Image 2nd print. "First Vampire" version with TYPE O Neg soundtrack. Version double featured with Edison's Frankenstein (1910). The Exorcist. Original printing, 25th ann, VYNS. I don't count Lord of the Rings as double dipping. That was really a 6 disc set split into a 2 disc and a 4 disc set. |
My double dips:
Heat Get Shorty Clerks Sin City Mallrats Reservoir Dogs Double Dips I avoided by wating for the re-release Office Space Aliens Pulp Fiction Reality Bites Bridget Jones's Diary The Commitments Leon: The Professional Swingers The Warriors Matrix & Matrix Revolutions although I bought Reloaded Tommy Boy True Romance Double Dips I plan on making Rounders Panic Room - Bought the "Superbit" since it was so cheap $6 CDN, still would like the 3 disc set The Big Lebowski - already traded my old disc away Double Dips I am not planning on Fifth Element - Have the Superbit, happy enough although if the Ultimate edition was cheap enough I'd pick it up. Re-releases I've been waiting for to avoid double diping Ferris Bueller's Day Off Clueless - re-released! Airplane - re-released! Dumb & Dumber - re-released! Kill Bill Enemy of the State L. A. Confidential True Lies The Abyss Lord Of The Rings Trilogy - Waiting for the 'Big' set ( I know, years away but the LOTR EE are still pretty pricey and Id rather spend it elsewhere) I don't like to double dip but will do it for the right DVD, but would like to avoid it. |

Lessee:
* I triple-dipped on Terminator 2. Of the ones shown above, I purchased the first "bare bones" DVD (which was also the first RSDL DVD ever manufactured.). I then purchased the two DVD-9 disc version of the Ultimate Edition and followed that up with the metal slipcase Extreme Edition. I still own the latter two since I feel as though they complement each other. This is easily on my personal Top 10 list of "fav" movies, so it was really no problem. * I triple-dipped on Stargate. I purchased the first "flipper" disc (you actually had to flip this thing over in the middle of the movie!); followed that up with the CE (which still only had non-anamorphic video); and then the UE; which was actually a pretty nice release. Of the three, I now own only the latter. (Along with the first 8 seasons of the series!) * I've double-dipped on almost every non-anamorphic movie that I ever purchased that was later given an anamorphic release. These included Titanic, Planet of the Apes (original), Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: V, and Star Trek VI. I'm sure there have been many others. Anywhoo ... Double and Triple dipping is just part of the hobby! I'm already eying the Blu-ray iterations of T2 and Stargate even though I probably won't have anything to play them on for about another year!! |
