Old Boy, and Lord of the Rings I have triple-dipped.
I'll buy every incarnation of Star Wars. I've got 3 versions of Dawn of the Dead. Double dipped the Criterion Brazil and Seven Samurai 2 versions of the Dark Crystal; Clerks; Mallrats; A Christmas Story; Con Air; Batman Begins and I'm sure there are some I'm missing. |
My DVD Dipping (other formats would take too long!)
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls Airplane! All The President's Men The Animal Animal House Army Of Darkness Beavis And Butthead Do America Blazing Saddles Boogie Nights A Bug's Life Bullitt Charlie's Angles Dawn Of The Dead (1978) Death Race 2000 Die Hard Trilogy Dirty Harry A Dirty Shame (Got The Neuter Version dirt cheep) Dodgeball Dogma Dragnet (To the Tom Hanks Collection) Earthquake Fast Times At Ridgemont High Ferris Bueller's Day Off The Fifth Element Ghostbusters Grease The Great Escape Groundhog Day Half Baked Heavenly Creatures Hellboy The Iron Giant JFK Labyrinth A League Of Their Own Leon: The Professional Lord Of The Rings Trilogy The Mask The Mask Of Zorro Meet The Parents Men In Black The Mummy Trilogy (Well just Scorpion King) Napoleon Dynamite Not Another Teen Movie Office Space The Parent Trap (1998) Revenge Of The Nerds 1 & 2 Road Trip (Got a good deal on Rated, then better on Unrated) Rock 'N' Roll High School Rumble In The Bronx Rushmore The Sixth Sense (Downgraded switch with friend) Sneakers Starship Troopers Stripes Superman 1-3 The Ten Commandments Titanic Tombstone The Towering Inferno Toy Story 1 & 2 Tremors Vegas Vacation (To WS!) The Wedding Singer Weekend At Bernie's Who Am I? (Jackie Chan's) Wild Things Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory Wow! That's a lot for nearly 8 years of collecting. There are a few I am fuzzy on if I dipped or not. The Towering Inferno was one of the best and easiest (decision wise) dips i've done. Oh yeah! 007's were dipped as well! |
Have to be the Bonds with a triple dip.
|
Zombi 2.
I originally bought it on VHS and since then have bought the Anchor Bay, Blue Underground and Shriek Show DVD's. |
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 3x was the charm
|
Off the top of my head:
Halloween (2-disc LE and the 25th ann Divamax) Halloween II (Goodtimes & Universal) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ("meat" packaging & ultimate edition) Phantasm (R1 SE, R2 in the sphere & maybe the upcoming one) T2 (original barebones, Ultimate & Extreme Edition) Hellboy (SE & Director's Cut) Re-Animator (OOP SE, Millenium Edition & maybe newest release) Predator (barebones & SE) Predator 2 (ditto) Zombie (aka "Zombi 2") - (Blue Underground & 2 disc) Old Boy (R1 and Tin) Heat Dazed & Confused (R1 & Criterion) The Fifth Element Almost Famous (R1 & Bootleg Edition) Dawn of the Dead (Divamax & UE) Tomorrow Never Dies (Silver case SE and Boxset SE) Universal Monster Sets (OOP Boxset & Legacy Versions) Strangers on a Train (Snapper & SE from Warner Hitchcock Box) Resident Evil (SE & Deluxe) Kill Bill (R1 & LE R2 Box) Friday the 13th 1-8 (Single releases & Boxset) Entrapment (Barebones & SE) Enter the Dragon (snapper & 2 disc) Donnie Darko (Theatrical & Director's Cut) The Boondock Saints (R1 & Unrated SE) And a few more I can't think of. |
I have 41 different DVD-editions of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from different countries (collecting them). If I'm not mistaken 7-9 more are left to complete my collection, then I'll have all the TCM edition ever released on Earth :-)
Also I double-dipped on: Tenebre (dutch release under the title 'Shadows' and a German one titled 'Unsane'); Silent Hill (Japanese 4-disc Ultimate box and British LE tin box); Re-animator (new Anchor Bay and Elite); |

Yeah, I would love to see that as well.

Probably my most was Phantasm
Phantasm 1-4 VHS Phantasm + Phantasm 4 old R1 DVD Phantasm German Boxset Phantasm R2 Sphere set Phantasm + Phantasm 3 new R1 DVD |
OK, so here they are:
1st row from the above and from left to right: 4 Austrian editions, a Japanese one and a Spanish release; 2nd row: a Korean edition, 3 Dutch editions and 2 Danish releases; 3rd row: 2 British editions and 4 Italian. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...es/dvds004.jpg The next picture - 1st row: 4 American editions, 2 German ones; 2nd row: all German; 3rd row: First is German also, then a release from Hong Kong and 4 French editions; 4th row: 3 Australian releases and an Austrian 'Saw'-edition http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...es/dvds005.jpg One edition from England is missing here (a friend borrowed for a couple of days :chainsaw: ) You also may notice that some editions look similar. Well they differ, besides I decided to collect re-releases also so... I looked through my notes and now can say for sure that 10 more editions will complete my collection (2 of which will be released in Japan this summer and about one I have strong doubts whether it actually exists - but I heard there's a Greek edition of TCM). |

WOW! That's a mighty impressive TCM DVD collection. By the way, how do you find out about all these releases? I mean, it's hard enough keeping up over the internet with the various releases across the market. I knew the movie had a lot of releases across the world, but 41?! Also, has it been difficult to get ahold of any particular release? I'm also assuming these are all official releases (no bootlegs or unathorized, etc.) |
Thanks Polietilen!
Well, first I checked www.dvdcompare.net and used it as a guide to a certain extent. But it stated there were just 18 releases of TCM! Since then I got to know a lot more :) There's also a nice site www.ofdb.de that helped me a lot, but still it mentions only 35 editions. I was just exploring different international online shops finding more and more. Amazons helped me also. Besides a couple of times I saw editions on ebay with slightly different covers from what I already had and bought them - you can see two of the Italian releases and couple of German and French look similar, but still they differ. I have doubts regarding unauthorized editions in respect of Korean release and two of the German releases, but couldn't yet find any proofs to it. And speaking of difficulty finding some particular editions - I had some problems, but generally with a little patience you will be able to catch the majority on ebay. The most difficult were Austrian editon (second in the first row) - all the three Austrians in big cases are limited to 666 pieces so... and Japanese one - it's been OOP for a long time, and a guy on ebay from Japan found it specially for me, and it cost me a fortune :) I've been hunting TCM for a long time and with 10 more releases to go I'm pretty sure those are all that exist. |

Well done!!! That collection, especially for a single movie, is staggering!! |
Thanks, Peep!
You really made my day. Especially after I hear all the time from my friends and family that I'm maniac and simply insane which I ain't. |
Hell, now we know every time a friend, wife or family member gives us that look as if we just lost it because of our dvd collection, we can use Giggles post as an alibi. That's the beauty of dvd collecting. When you think you're going too far with your hobby, there's always somebody proving you wrong. So, cheers again for Giggles, in the nicest sense, of course.

Hands Down.. This is one heck of a dipping! Multiple region dipping is probably the hardest and best!

Wow, what a sight :)
I don't know if I could ever collect outside my regional coding. That's really impressive. |
Never double-dipped.
But for Christmas, I'm gonna ask for the new releases of Taxi Driver and The Graduate from my folks. I'll feel better about it if they buy it, not me, lol. |
