Even though I opened it up earlier, I told my neice to wrap up the Best Buy King Kong set.

Nice to have it again!

Sin City: Directors Cut
Father of the Bride: 15th Anniv. Ed
Pretty Woman 10th Anniv Ed
Notting Hill

Not really. The one I got from Secret Santa was the wrong edition and the one my parents bought me I had already. It's my first christmas that I didn't ask for books, movies or CD's. Very strange, indeed. I was happy with socks. Eeek....i think i'm growing up!

My partner got me:

Family Guy: Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story
Barbra Streisand: The Television Specials
The Simpsons: Season 7

and I got him (along with other, non-DVD stuff):

The Daily Show: Indecision 2004

Yes, Santa was very good to me! My brother gave me the two disc Led Zeppelin concert DVD and my parents gave me the complete collection of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. Yay, a Merry Christmas!

- The Last Samurai

My mom got me....

War of the Worlds : widescreen 1 disc edition.

I am happy since it was the version I asked for and she even knew to look for which version was which. So she didn't buy it until probably a few days before Christmas since she told me she only found 'fullscreen' copies and kept asking 'you want widescreen right?'.

A Very Brady Sequel,
Sadly the first film which I also asked for is impossible to find in the retail stores. I have looked everywhere from Borders, Sun Coast,Best Buy among others and even the used stores...and found nothing. Despite all of the above usually having a copy on the shelves for years! Oh well..I'll just order it online..and say screw the retailers!

The Dukes of Hazzard : Season 2

mom also bought me for my birthday last week, Dukes season 1!


I surprised my mom with Elvis: Aloha from Hawii and Change of Nabit. She didn't ask for anything,nor expect us to get her anything. So both of those were my ideas since I knew she loved Change of Habit(but our old 1981 VHS is falling apart gathering dust) and hasn't seen the Elvis: Hawii concert since it first aired in the early 1970's!

Nothing. I've got a ton of unwatched DVDs, plus it's getting to the point where if I want something bad enough, I'm not going to wait until Christmas to get it. I've been getting some nice DVDs in recent weeks, but nothing for Christmas.

I did, however, get a ton of film-related books. Hitchcock, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, the silent era, and Universal Horror are just some of the subjects covered in the various titles. I've got some serious reading to do.

The Warriors (Dir Cut)
Office Space (Box Set From Best Buy)
Night of the Living Dead (w/ commentary by Mike of MST3K)

I got

Merry Christmas

My wife got me the Tremors Attack Pack.
My parents got me Lifeboat.
My father-in-law gave me the standard gift of $50 cash, which will be used on DVD's... I haven't decided which ones yet, but Family Guy Volume 4 and King Kong 2-disc are high on the list.

Alas, I didn't receive any dvds... but I did get good amount of money. Some which will be used on dvds.

Only thing I got so far is the Batman Anthology, and a new DVD player, although I may exchange that since it has no digital audio output.

Got a couple more presents to open in a couple of hours, but I'm only expecting gift cards and money. I did already get a $30 Wal-Mart GC, which will probably go towards picking up Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, which I seen were $13.50 a piece the other day.

Besides DVD related things, I got a new HDTV. Although, it's too big for my current entertainment center so it might be a week before I find a new one, and have it all set up. Oh well. It's still a nice one.

Dropped at least a million hints to my wife to get me KING KONG (2 disc SE), but what does she get me...FANTASTIC FOUR? Ah well, looks like I'll be buying KONG with gift certificate money, myself. Either that, or I'll wait two more weeks to see if I get it for my birthday.

Aside from that, it was more superhero stuff...
SKY HIGH
SUPERMAN : THE ANIMATED SERIES Vol. 2

...and ROCKSTAR: INXS, too.

I also received a UMD copy of NAPOLEON DYNAMTIE for my PSP - The first movie I've gotten for it yet.

I got money. so have already ordered quite a few dvds ive been holding off on like Serenity, BSG 2.0, Star Wars Trilogy, Stargate SG-1 seasons 6 & 7.

Hopefully they will be here sometime this week

No one gets me DVD's since everyone knows I pretty much have\get all the ones that I want. Best Buy gift certificates are always welcome though

My wife, daughter and I snagged:

ER: Season 4
Smallville: Season 2
Cheers: Season 6
Cheers: Season 7
Friends: Season 9

Chip & Dale Collection
From the Earth to the Moon

Santa rules!

I received The Lord of the Rings, extended, widescreen edition set. Seinfeld Season 3 and Into the West set plus about $150 for future DVD's to start off the new year with. And I also bought Titanic extended edition for my wife but it also goes into my collection, had to make alot of room to fit these big sets, editions on my shelf.

I made out pretty good:

King Kong Tin with Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young - This thing is frickin' AWESOME!
Titanic 3-Disc Set - Finally!!
Sin City Re-Cut and Extended - Beautiful Set.
Cinderella Man Collector's Edition - Another Beautiful Set.
The Deer Hunter Legacy Collection - Universal does it right.

Star Wars Revenge of the Sith - Look forward to watching it again.
The Truman Show Special Edition - Can't wait to check out the extras.
Lifeboat - More Hitchcock is always welcome!

And that was just the DVDs.

I got money ahead of time to plan my own gifts because I knew I'd get the most for the money with the DDD sales and I would have been sending my parents or family that asked what I wanted all over the place, so thanks to that and some BB sales, I got..

Santa, Mom & Dad, the rest of the family and friends, etc. were all good to me this year and my birthday's close, so a lot of people have doubled up some. =p Now the biggest "problem" will be, when will I have time to watch all of these??

+Danny

Cinderella (Disney animated Platinum Edition)
The Brady Bunch: Season 1
Donnie Darko: Director's Cut (in a tin with a bonus rabbit necklace)

Val Lewton collection and the Criterion Rebel Samurai set. Also the Talking Heads Brick, which I think is dual disks and so has a DVD component. I also got that Scene-It DVD game (actually 2 copies, so most likely one of them will become a DVD too).

Edit: I forgot this one 'New' Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
