My top 3 DVDs:

Hoosiers SE - Includes the actual Milan game. Including real footage of its subjects is a feature more sports movies would be wise to adopt.

Criterion In the Mood For Love - Favorite WKW film...awesome DVD and packaging.

Black Hawk Down SE - Fantastic extras, great film.

Single Movies:

1) Big Trouble in Little China Special Edition
One of my favorite films of all time and a truly impressive package. This movie is also one of the most rewatchable.

2) Reservoir Dogs Special Edition (Mr. Pink)
Another favorite. The only time in my whole life I doubled dipped on a DVD just to get a better cover.

3) Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition
My favorite horror movie. It was great to have the ability to see all the film's infamous incarnations.

Boxed Sets:

1) The Ultimate Olvier Stone Collection
It might not really be "Ultimate" but it is a great collection of all of Stone's work (up to Alexander).


2) The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection
The films that made me love horror. A great technical presentation. Also contains the comprehensive 'Encylopedia' disk.

3) Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)
Three of my favorites from my childhood.

Television:

1) Family Guy Vol.1
This is probably the most watched DVD I own. It never seems to loose it puch.

2) Seinfeld Season 4
The best season of the show. I also liked how it had a running storyline.

3) Chappelle's Show Season 2
Contains so many classic episodes. Damn shame it had to end.

1.The Adventures of Robin Hood SE- A perfect DVD for a perfect film.

2.Predator SE- I've watched this film over 250 times until i lost count, favorite Arnie flick and near my top few favorite films.

3.Stalingrad- Dogs do you want to live forever?- My rarest dvd. From 1958 it's the best depiction on film of the most titanic battle in recorded history, better than that foot-in-mouth drama overkill 1990s version.

I don't like to play favorites, but:

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Chosen Collection" because honestly its all the buffy episodes in one set, its like heaven in a box...

"My So Called Life: Complete Series" because it was such an awesome series and it has just gotten rarer and rarer over the years...

"Near Dark" I love this movie and this is an awesome DVD set to go with this little known film...

I don't know if you have an all-region player, but if you do, you should totally get The Killer special edition from Hong Kong Legends:


It has a bunch of great extras, but most important, the anamorphic image kills the Criterion disc's non-anamorphic image.

Check out the comparison:

1. LOTR Trilogy EE - The most superior dvds and incredibly interesting + entertaining. I know it's pretty sad but I worked out how much material there is (all three 4 disc editions, with commentaries) over 80 hours+ picture galleries.
2. Band Of Brothers - This is dvds not favourite films or anything right? Amazing series with great dvd set.
3. Ben-Hur - Excellent film, though not a favourite. However the 4 disc edition is outstanding, with the 1925 version.

Hhmmm..not favorite movies but DVD's would be.

1. Dances with Wolves DTS (imho this disc still has better sound than anything out there!) Truly amazing sound. Also, Apollo 13 DTS is up there too.

2. Citizen Kane (Amazing quality, with an awesome commentary)


3. Twlight Zone: The definitve Set. Totally amazing that they could get the old shows to look this good. (My wifes "I Love Lucy" sets are pretty nice too)
