That's a lot when I list them all. To be fair, most of the double dips were Google Checkout or Columbia House purchases, so they were cheap. I've mostly avoided double dipping for stupid reasons too, most of them were significant upgrades.

I see most of my double-dips as upgrades, and in some cases I like having both versions.

Dr Mabuse

LOTR... all three to get the uncut versions...

such a difference there... the theatrical releases just weren't the whole movie...

Army of Darkness Official Bootleg Edition for the edited scenes and the real ending...

Halloween for the TV scenes...

Das Boot twice for the Director's cut and then the entire German miniseries version...

there's more but i can't remember right now...

Do I win any kind of award for "Most double/triple dips on some of the worst movies ever made"?

Trevor

Not until you buy 6 copies of the worst film ever made (Ghost Rider) just to get all the store exclusives.

Yavin

I'm easy. Just one title: Army of Darkness (or, as it says on the dvd cover Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness). Double-dipped on the Bootleg
Edition for the Boomstick Edition. My reason: Better transfer (on the theatrical cut) as opposed to the muddy transfer of the director's cut found on the former.

I seem to have a pretty good track record for *not* double-dipping. Either I have been lucky enough to have not bought the initial release and to just get the subsequent special edition or I have not been inclined to repurchase a movie that I already own in an earlier edition.

EDIT: Crap, I forgot about V for Vendetta. Not really a double-dip for me in the traditional sense, but I did buy two copies of the 2-disc. I bought the version from Best Buy (Canada) for the lenticular cover and the graphic novel reprint. Then I got the version from Best Buy (US) for the scaled replica of V's mask and the art cards. I also bought a version from Future Shop for the free steelbook case, but I returned it (without the steelbook case of course .. *ahem).
