Ideas and categories for the best of 2006 according to us
with the end of the year approaching, i was thinking it might be a fun route to do a small project over here at dvdtalk, similar to Scott Weinberg's Top DVDs of 2005, According to US if anyone cares to take the reigns, if Scott doesn't plan on doing it again. I would love to be the one to tally the votes, etc. but my January is going to be pretty solid, and I don't want it to end up like the 2005 census with no results to show.
thought it might be fun to create a few categories for the years best of. While I know everyone has their choices for best of the year, please hold on the titles and lets just brainstorm categories. This way we have some straightforward categories, as opposed to just a top 5-10 of the year. Let me know thoughts and so on, and i suppose first person to say they want it has it. The post should take place following the last Tuesday (release Day) in December and should be closed sometime in January, to allow people time to watch some of those late in the year titles and Xmas presents. i was thinking as well as a top ten with a points system, we could do some straightforward one vote questions along the lines of Best Commentary Best Re-Rerelease Best Packaging Best Extras Best Easter Egg Biggest Letdown Actor/actress/director best represented in 2006 etc. |
GREAT IDEA!
Best Commentary Selection on a DVD Best Re-Release Best Packaging Best Extras Best Easter Egg Biggest Letdown Actor/actress/director best represented in 2006 ACTOR- ACTRESS- DIRECTOR- Best Box Set Best Animated DVD Best Retailer Exclusive Bonus Overall Top 5 DVDs of the Year |

Best TV on DVD
Besting "Making of" doc Best Insert Best Studio |
Best exclusive bonus
Best transfer Best deleted scene section Best audio |
Best Barebones (w/ little to no extras or Best Single Disc)
Best Limited Edition (that truly was Limited) Best Extended or Director's Cut Best Criterion (since many consider them in a league of their own, it might be fun to just pick the best of this bunch this year) Best Hyped Release Best Value (meaning i guess the best overall DVD that was the cheapest price come that Tuesday's release day at major retailers and major online outlets; not taking into account using discounts, coupons, etc.. "Superman Ultimate" at $69.99 is an example, not the $50.00 that many of us got it at Barnes and Noble) Best Long-Awaited Best Foreign Release (that is R1) |
Best non region 1 release.

well...when i say best represented i mean, most (relevent) titles for a certain person, spread across multiple releases.
a good example for this year would be Boris Karloff. With two box sets with never released titles on the univesal franchise set, and icons of horror set, as well as a new edition of Frankenstein or Peckinpah and John Ford with their respective box sets and A new version of Cross of Iron that got it mostly right. I would also have to say (and I'm picking on TNA Jason again) that the "tie" should be thrown out completly, save for certain movie franchises. THe Bond series could be counted as one title, as could the new star wars dvds. However you can't have a tie between superman and james bond. you would only get one vote, and for anyone who put two the top one would count. we could also have anyone add an honorable mention to the category, just so they have it down for everyone to see |
Best "They Finally Got It Right" (re)release?

I liked that cat you did last year like: "best releases you haven't heard of" or something like that, with the hopalong cassidy coverage. I found a lot of great stuff from that list. The year end lists last year were top notch, keep up the great work.
