Best DVD of August 2006
 

What did you think was the best DVD of August 2006?

Not only the best film released on DVD, but the best overall presentation... film, video, audio, extras, etc.

If I have missed your choice in the poll list, please post below.

South Park Season 8

I'll have to go with APOCALYPSE NOW: The Complete Dossier, especially if you were lucky enough to get the Circuit City exclusive bonus DVD like me. A lot of amazing stuff across those three discs...

V For Vendetta is my choice. Close behind was the Fish Called Wanda CE (of course you had to be one of the lucky ones to get it from Amazon). Other very good releases included the SEs of Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile, Pretty In Pink & Some Kind of Wonderful.

Double Indemnity - Universal Legacy Series

Double Indemnity, which isn't even on the list.

Double Indemnity for me. It's always great to see a classic with a strong quality upgrade.

Far and away, my favorite release of August is Rohmer's "Six Moral Tales" from Criterion, though I guess I boxset might not count in this poll.

For single disc releases, I'd go with either "Double Indemnity" from Warner Brothers, or "Funeral Parade of Roses." from Eureka's Masters of Cinema line.

A tie between Double Indemnity and V for Vendetta.

not to sound dumb here, but what's on the Double Indemnity DVD in terms of extras and such?

1. Double Indemnity
2. The Tick vs. Season Two

Both have been holy grail releases for me for years. Tick could look a little better, and I wish there were extras, but it's great to have the first season, nonetheless.

Rome

Rome, easily.

V for Vendetta, by a mile

i voted for v for vendetta in the poll because i forgot double indemnity. they were both excellent.

two commentaries
documentaries
the made for tv movie

its about as jam packed as dvd gets these days

Apocalypse Now

Didn't buy a lot in August, but I was really impressed with the Rome: Season 1 set.

Simpsons Season Eight, haven't seen the other ones except for Inside Man and V For Vendetta, which were good movies but had average DVDs.

Double Indemnity :thumbsup:

My vote:

Double Indemnity: Legacy Collection

Honorable mentions:

Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier (with the aforementioned Circuit City bonus disc...which should have been part of the set for everyone!)
Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: Criterion Collection
The Girls Next Door: Season One
House, M.D.: Season Two
Jayne Mansfield Collection
South Park: The Complete Eighth Season

Brick. Because its the best movie of the bunch.

Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: CC

Honorable Mention for Double Indemnity

I enjoyed the first disc of Double Indemnity, but it really only needed to be a one disc release. The second disc was a complete throwaway. The tv movie was horrendous, but I guess it does re-emphasize how great the original is.

OTHER:

Darkwing Duck: Volume 1
Talespin: Volume 1
